介绍和分析美国明尼苏达州的Minitex馆际借阅系统30年来的发展历史。该系统的独特之处在于:将明尼苏达州、南达科他州、北达科他州的200多家图书馆连成为一体,利用各参与图书馆的资源为三州的学者、公众、政府机构和专业图书馆提供馆际借阅、文献传递、集团采购等服务。这一图书馆网络不仅使得所有参与图书馆的馆藏得到了更充分的利用,而且为资源相对有限的中小型图书馆提供了更强大的服务能力。Minitex模式对国土大、人口多、图书资源紧缺的国家和地区如中国来说特别具有启示意义。
Introduce and analyze the Minitex inter-bank loan system in Minnesota for 30 years. The system is unique in that it brings together more than 200 libraries in Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota using the resources of each participating library for scholars, the public, government agencies and specialty libraries in the three states Interlibrary loan, document delivery, group purchasing and other services. This library network has not only made full use of the collections of all participating libraries, but also has provided more powerful service to small and medium-sized libraries with relatively limited resources. The Minitex model is of particular enlightenment to countries and regions with large territories, large population, and scarce library resources such as China.
