By July 2003, the library had digitized11journal articles or book chapters, and directly linked 1852 journal articles in the teaching bibliography provided by teachers to the full-text database or electronic journals purchased by the library. This service greatly facilitates users and improves the utilization rate of library resources.
Both the main library and the branch library have course teaching reference libraries, which mainly collect course textbooks and teaching reference books, and adopt open or closed bookshelves for users to borrow. The purpose of this service is to collect the materials listed in the teachers' teaching reference books as much as possible, and provide enough copies for users to use in appropriate places to meet the needs of undergraduates, postgraduates and teachers for teaching reference materials. The teaching reference library is constantly changing. Every semester, the librarian in charge of teaching reference materials will adjust and supplement the collection of course teaching reference materials according to the teaching reference list.
The library electronizes some periodical articles and chapters in books, or directly links to the electronic full-text purchased by the library, and provides online course teaching reference services for users through the library network.
Another distinctive service is that our users can use the document delivery service called DIRECT, that is, users can directly submit requests to a commercial document supplier through the library homepage, and the document supplier will directly deliver the documents to the user's computer terminal or office without the help of library staff, and the expenses will be settled and borne by the library and supplier.
Information literacy training service is one of the main services provided by the University of Sydney Library to users. According to the information literacy standards formulated by the board of directors of Australian university libraries, the library has formulated the information literacy policy of the University of Sydney. The curriculum design is closely related to the specific needs of teachers and students, and the training methods are flexible and diverse. In 2002, 29,645 individuals and 1775 groups participated in the information literacy training of the library. Through information literacy training services, librarians have established a good cooperative relationship with teachers and students: the library helps teachers to further understand the importance of information literacy training and increase the opportunities for information professionals to participate in the development of teaching courses; Teachers and students participating in the training are not only happy that they have mastered new information research skills, but also participate more enthusiastically in the development of library collections and library information services.
