众所周知,藏书流通率低,是我国图书馆的一大通病。造成这个问题的原因之一是,图书馆流通部门缺少工作定额,借多借少一个样。相当数量的图书馆之所以未制定流通部门的工作定额,或者只是象征性地定出很低的工作定额,是基于一种传统的观念:图书馆流通环节是一个受制约的环节,本身缺乏主动权。对内而言,它受制于藏书结构体系,如果馆内其它部门不能提供一个优化的藏书结构体系,那么,流通部门就会陷入巧妇难为无米之炊的困境;对外而言,流通环节受制于读者,读者不来借书,决无硬拉之理。上述观念是一种被动服务、无所作为的旧观念,必须加以更新。诚然,我国图书馆的藏书质量和读者方面都存在一些问题;但是,从现有藏书水平和读者的实际需求来看,完全不应该产生出藏书 As we all know, the low circulation rate of books is a common problem in our country’s libraries. One of the reasons for this problem is that the circulation department of the library lacks a quota for work and borrows less. The reason why a considerable number of libraries did not set work quotas in the circulation departments or only symbolically set very low work quotas is based on the traditional concept that library circulation links are a restricted link and that there is a lack of initiative in itself right. Internally, it is subject to the structure of the collection of books. If other departments in the museum can not provide an optimized collection structure, the circulation department will fall into the dilemma of making bricks and mortar without exception. On the other hand, circulation is limited by readers, Readers do not come to borrow books, there is no arbitrary pull theory. The above concept is a passive service, the old concept of doing nothing, must be updated. It is true that there are some problems in library quality and readership in our country. However, we should not produce books at all based on the current collection level and readers’ actual needs
