System Construction Of Mechanism Of Library Information Resources Sharing In China

The development of information resources sharing has been accelerating by social changes which aroused by digital development in the 21st century. As an important part of the social information resources sharing, library information resources sharing is showing its great vitality, that a large number of organizations and projects are achieving a good performance to meet the user needs at home and abroad. There are a series of national and regional information resources sharing organizations in China, which format a basic information guarantee net at present. Besides the achievements, the information resources sharing is facing lots of problems, such as imbalance, lack of support of stable system and institution, incompatible with the market. Implementing the mechanism innovation, which is the fundamental solution to meet these problems, could ensure the sustainable development of library information resources sharing in digital environment.The target of this dissertation is the construction of the system and content of the mechanism of library information resources sharing. According to the research of environment and the current situation, the author intenses to discuss the establishment of mechanism of library information resources sharing in China, and designs an evaluation system for it, also gives advisements in promoting the optimization and innovation of the mechanism. This paper is divided into seven chapters.Chapter 1 Mechanism innovation of library information resources sharing and the basic theories.This chapter is the fundament of the whole dissertation. As the contradiction between the user needs and the limited capacity of the individual library services aggravating, information resources sharing seems to be an inevitable choice for each library. However, under the changing society, the library information resources sharing is able to seize opportunities for development so that to satisfy user information needs or not, depends on its mechanism construction. The mechanism of library information resources sharing means the relationship of the elements and its function, and reflects the disciplinary of information resources sharing. It is a fact that in a innovative social environment, mechanism innovation play an important role in library information resources sharing. System Theory, Game Theory, Cost-effectiveness Theory, Supply Chain Management Theory make the base of this research.Chapter 2 Analysis of the innovative environment of the mechanism of library information resources sharing.Library information resources sharing is included in the social system, so the social environment has decisive influence on the content of mechanism. Only by constructing the mechanism in accordance with the society, can the function of the resources sharing come to the furthest effect. Therefore, it is necessary to scan the environment in which the mechanism innovation of library information resources sharing take place. The author analyses the effect and instruction of important social changes upon the mechanism innovation from three areas, which are economic environment, information environment and policy environment. In a word, the new environment require the mechanism could establish sharing system accordance with current needs, and take much account of the benefits of sharing.Chapter 3 Investigation and analysis of the current situations of the library information resources sharing mechanism.The current situations of the mechanism are the basis of the innovation. After a internet survey of different regional libraries about their participation in information resources sharing in China, the author makes a conclusion of the current situation. Based on the analysis of chapter2 and chapter3, two strategic directions in the future innovation are confirmed, constructing a self-contained mechanism system is the first one, reforming the current mechanism in order to match the social environment and making it more practical is the second one.Chapter 4 The content of mechanism innovation of library information resources sharing.The content of the mechanism innovation of library information resources sharing is the hardcore in this dissertation. By the strategic directions that just discussed in chapter3, the author designs a mechanism system including dynamic mechanism, decision-making mechanism, information transfer and exchange mechanism, market mechanism, service mechanism, effective monitoring mechanism and policy guarantee mechanism. Furthermore, the author makes an expatiation upon the meanings and the construction measures of the sub-mechanisms. Each mechanism is not exists lonely, there are consanguineous reciprocity relationships between them. Author also tries to use charts to reflect the dynamic process of the mechanism.Chapter 5 The performance evaluation of library information resources sharing mechanism.Performance evaluation plays an important role on getting a full appreciation of the construction and carryover effect of information resources sharing mechanism, setting the reasonable objectives, generating strategy to increasing it to optimization, understanding the development status of the system of information resources sharing. The performance evaluation of library information resources sharing mechanism has three dimensions:assessment of the completeness, adaptability and the effectiveness. On the basis of analyzing these sub-mechanisms detailed and referring to the fundamental principles of AHP, the author works out the performance evaluation indicator system of library information resources sharing mechanism. The whole index system has two levels,7 first class indexes among them, and 49 for second index. Finally, the author discussed the related work to do the performance evaluation.Chapter 6 The strategies of promoting the innovation of the library information resources sharing mechanism.First, the perfection of the sharing system is the premise of the innovation of sub-mechanisms, well defined responsibility, power and interests are the key factors of the construction of the sharing system. The author analyzes the responsibility, power and interests of the members in information sharing. Secondly, it is necessary to supply the institution support to guarantee the innovation of the sharing mechanism. The author discusses the impetus of the institution to the innovation of sharing mechanism in such three aspects:national education institution, library law, the collaboration agreement of information resource sharing. Finally, in the process of carrying out the sharing mechanism innovation, the management culture is the deeper level effect factor. So constructing digital library management culture will help the innovation of sharing resources mechanism.Chapter 7 ConclusionThis section summarizes the research of the dissertation, points out limitations of research, and at last puts forward the study plans for the near future research.This dissertation is the research production of "A Study on Library Management in Digital Information Environment", which is a major project of Humanities and Social Sciences Key Research Base of Ministry of Education (No.07JJD870221) and "Performance Evaluation of Information Resource Sharing Mechanism", which is National Social Science Fund Project(No.08BTQ030).(table 2, figure 27)...
