图书馆给予大学的不只是具象的一本本书,还有抽象的“知识”的概念。图书馆提供的不只是自习室,更是大学的气场与灵魂。近期,美国雅虎网报道一家公共图书馆为步入数字化时代抛弃了25万册藏书,纸质书与电子书之争再次浮出水面。而这次事件引发我们进一步思考的是:在数字化、全球化的时代,图书馆何去何从?在实现了电子化的情况下,之前的纸质书应当抛弃吗?美国大学图书馆的一些应对数字化的举措,又能给中国的大学怎样的经验或教训? The library gives the university not only an avatar’s book, but also an abstract “knowledge” concept. Library provides not only study room, it is the university’s aura and soul.

Some of the United States University Library to deal with the digital Measures, but also to China’s universities how the experience or lesson?
