从电子资源管理视角分析我国高校图书馆服务平台的发展

Exploring Library Services Platform for Chinese Academic Libraries from the Perspective of Electronic Resources Management

当电子资源日益成为图书馆的主体资源,传统集成图书馆系统及其附加的各种产品工具很难适应电子资源复杂的管理流程。下一代图书馆管理系统(也称为图书馆服务平台)的上马迫在眉睫。基于对国外图书馆服务平台的两项调研,分析了目前市场上主流图书馆服务平台Alma、Sierra、WMS的电子资源管理功能,并介绍了开源图书馆服务平台FOLIO。最后分析了下一代图书馆服务平台开发的关键问题及其未来发展。基于平台的由若干松散耦合的应用组合构成的图书馆生态系统,才是图书馆自动化领域真正的"下一代"。希望本研究能为高校图书馆选择服务平台提供参考,同时也可为图书馆服务平台提供商改进产品提供指南。

With the increasing dominance of electronic resources in academic libraries, traditional inte- grated library system （ILS） with multiple additional tools have not fully supported complex electronic re- source management （ERM） workflows. Next-generation systems that can more fully integrate electronic resource workflows are in demand. These new systems, also called ＂library services platforms＂ or LSPs have been implemented by some libraries around the world. The paper evaluates the electronic resource management of LSP products such as Alma, Sierra, WMS based on two perceive surveys conducted at aboard,introduces the innovative open source platform FOLIO, and explores the future of library services platform. It is a loosely coupled platform-based library ecosystem model that will be the real ＂next genera- tion＂ in library automation. It is hoped that the study will be of use to academic libraries considering LSP products, and that the suggestions also will provide LSP vendors with valuable information they can use to continue to refine their products.
