中国由五十六个民族组成,少数民族繁多,各民族都有自己的民族文化和民族历史。我国少数民族图书馆的建设直接关系少数民族文化的传承、少数民族文化教育事业的持续发展、民族之间文化交流等。少数民族图书馆需从数据库、图书文献、科学技术管理三方面加强建设,与此同时加强人才队伍并有效利用科学技术,把少数民族图书馆作用发挥到淋漓尽致。 China is composed of 56 ethnic groups with many ethnic minorities and various ethnic groups each having their own national culture and national history. The construction of our national minority library has a direct bearing on the inheritance of minority culture, the sustainable development of minority culture and education and the cultural exchange among different ethnic groups. Minority libraries need to strengthen their construction from three aspects: databases, books and literature, and management of science and technology. In the meantime, they must strengthen their workforce and make effective use of science and technology to bring the role of the minority national libraries into their fullest.
