新一代图书馆服务系统:功能评价与愿景展望

On the New Generation of Library Service System:Functions,Visions and Prospects

近年来国外崭露头角的"新一代图书馆服务系统"是对现有的、以纸质文献为主要馆藏的图书馆业务和服务的一种升级,具有"全媒体"资源管理能力、完整的业务流程管理能力和"全网域"的资源发现能力。从技术上看"新一代图书馆服务系统"的特点是采用SOA(即"面向服务的架构")和云计算技术。本文结合信息技术的发展趋势,以及当前各类"复合型"图书馆所面临的管理和服务需求,指出未来图书馆系统应具备资源管理、流程管理和资源发现的功能,其中资源发现是其核心。图书馆员应充分参与到"新一代图书馆服务系统"的开发研制中,使图书馆成为一个知识发现和知识创造的平台。

Combined with the developing trends of information technology and current needs of management and services all compound libraries are faced with, it is pointed out that future library system should have the functions of managing resources, managing process, and finding resources, with the third function as the core.
