现代化图书馆必须实行现代化管理。面临图书馆有限的资源与读者日益增长的需求之间的矛盾,除了增加资金以外,更重要的是提高管理水平。因此,如何提高管理水平,是当前我国图书馆改革的关键问题。近年来,我国图书工作者对科学管理的研究不断深入,逐步从定性向定量、从局部向整体发展,陈和平教授的专著《图书馆定量管理》就是其中的代表作之一。陈教授1984年提出定量管理的理论以来,曾先后在十余所高校和一些省市图书馆讲 Modern library must implement modern management.

Therefore, how to improve the management level is the key issue of our country’s library reform at present. In recent years, the research on scientific management of our country’s library workers continues to deepen, gradually from qualitative to quantitative, from the local to the overall development, Professor Chen Heping’s monograph “Library Quantitative Management” is one of the masterpieces.
