复合图书馆——图书馆发展的必然趋势

Hybrid Library: the Inevitable Trend of Library Development

数字图书馆在近年来的迅猛发展使很多人对数字图书馆将取代传统图书馆持乐观态度。文章界定了复合图书馆的概念,从两个方面阐述了观点:(1)数字图书馆不可能取代传统图书馆;(2)复合图书馆具有传统图书馆及数字图书馆无可比拟的优势。

People tend to be optimistic about the replacement of traditional library by digital library because the rapid development of digital library recently. However, the author argues that the future library is the mixture or integration of traditional library and digital library. The present paper defines the concept of hybrid library, and then provides evidence to support my argument from two aspects： （1） impossibility of replacing traditional library with digital library; （2） advantages of hybrid library over traditional library and digital library.
