Chancheng District Library, formerly known as "Shiwan District Library" and also known as "Su Li Xiuying Library", opened in June 1992 65438+ 10/8, with a total area of nearly 6,000 square meters. The library puts readers first and strives to improve the service environment and facilities, which has played its due role in the development of cultural undertakings and the construction of two civilizations in Chancheng District. Since its opening, it has won the titles of "National First Class Library" and "Guangdong Civilized Library" for three times. It was awarded the titles of "Foshan Civilized Window Unit", "Patriotism Education Base" and "Advanced Unit for Building a Civilized City" by the Foshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
Chancheng United Library, with its unique library running mode and service concept, has provided some original experiences for the construction of public cultural service system in China, and it is also one of the library running modes recommended by the Ministry of Culture and library society of china.
Over the years, under the leadership of the municipal party committee and municipal government, and with the care and support of the District Culture, Radio, Film and Television Press and Publication Bureau and all walks of life, Chancheng District Library has made great progress by providing all kinds of high-quality cultural services, strengthening base construction and strengthening base management.
1, the base construction has achieved remarkable results.
After the merger of the two districts in 2003, Chancheng District Library introduced a brand-new concept of "joint library" and adopted the service mode of one library and multiple places. "Joint Library" refers to a small public library based on the central library, with reasonable layout, unified logo, unified style, unified management, highly concentrated resources and close to citizens in different regions. "United Library" has broken the current pattern of "one library and one place" in China and opened a new model of "one library and many places".
Chancheng United Library currently has 6 member libraries with more than 300,000 books. All member libraries are funded by the district government and managed by Chancheng Library to provide public services. By 20 15, there will be about 10 branches of the joint library, forming a public library service network covering the whole region.
In the practice of library service innovation, the exploration of Chancheng District has accumulated advanced experience, which has been affirmed by relevant parties and has had a certain social impact in China. Qiu He's book "Public Library Service System Covering the Whole Society: Mode, Technical Support and Scheme" (a research project funded by library society of china) points out that the Joint Library of Chancheng District of Foshan City has explored many fields that it has never set foot in before, created the only pure central library and branch library system in China, and became the "first crab eater" of China Public Library on many issues.
2. Give play to the role of educational position and provide rich spiritual food.
(1) Open a new book reading room
In order to solve the contradiction between the slow update of new books and the rapid demand of readers, we cooperated with booksellers to break the traditional model, set up a new book reading room, and changed the librarian's full-time procurement to select books for readers. New books can be sold and borrowed, updated regularly, and unread books will be returned to suppliers. Any new book that is lent out is regarded as purchased by the library and enters the collection, and will be catalogued after its first circulation. This service mode of coordinating libraries, booksellers and the government to "speculate and sell" new books is undoubtedly an innovation of emancipating the mind and is the first in this region.
(2) Establish a professional database
Selectively scan the contents of professional books and periodicals in our library, download and re-process the online subject information resources, and add them into the self-built database to become professional collections or virtual collections with local subject characteristics. We have developed professional and personalized information products suitable for the industry, including computer multimedia metal database, modern ferritic stainless steel anthology, metal database and children's wear database. Readers can freely search and download professional information in the professional database.
(3) Holding an industry information exchange meeting
In order to grasp the demand and trend of industry information, and make the library's professional services targeted and not take too many detours, Chancheng District Library has carried out various forms of reader clubs and industry information exchange meetings. While promoting the professional information resources and services of the library, it provides a platform for professionals in the industry to know, communicate and establish a good service image of the library among professionals and expand their influence. Professional lectures have become the brand of professional services of Chancheng District Library.
(4) Give readers a variety of lectures.
Taking the library as the position, we will carry out various lectures to meet the needs of readers. The content is mainly based on the 1.2T database provided by the National Cultural Information Resources * * * Sharing Project, and the lecture CD is purchased according to the actual situation. In addition to broadcasting regularly in each branch library every week, it also undertakes the task of providing and arranging broadcasting resources for village cultural stations such as Shagang and Qicha.
For a long time, the district library has been committed to holding rich service publicity activities, guiding people to fully understand the library, enter the library, use the library, and expand the social influence of the library. For example, set up mobile service points in book cities, schools, communities and commercial squares, publicize library services, conduct patriotic education and publicity, and provide free consultation for readers. Establish a "point-to-point" intimate service, and each staff member will establish information contact with readers, including point-to-point answering questions, recommending new books, promoting activities, renewing books, etc., to provide readers with rich spiritual food.
(5) Set up a reading club to form a reading atmosphere.
The main readers of Chancheng Library are college students, middle school students and primary school students, so we put the emphasis of patriotism education on schools. In order to give full play to the role of the library in patriotism education, the library set up a "reading club" in 1999, making the library the center of reading, learning and research in the whole region and guiding readers to read more and better books. At present, there are more than 1000 members, and they carry out two or three activities every year. Over the years, the reading club has taken the lead in carrying out rich reading activities for primary and secondary schools and the society.
