Outdated Electronic Resources Of The Utility Management

A new problem has arisen in library that the number of electronic resources is rapidly increasing and its carrier has changed resources structure of bibliotheca after computers are applied to library. With the development and change of IT, electronic resources are shortening their service-life and corresponding software and hardware are eliminated quickly. Modern library management will face the problem: what will collect or use electronic carriers of books. A read-helped literature reading room may be built up to collect filmcards, floppy disks, video tapes, CD discs, VCD discs etc. and respective equipment. This room will continue to serve for readers in outdated media or those reliant on outdated technology. This paper introduces the status quo of library electronic resources, discusses the concept, management and applications of read-helping equipments so as to improve the management of read-helped literatures and the uses by the readers. This room will open its electronic literature and equipment when a reader needs to continue to use it. In this paper, this is our first time to offer a concept of help read and a read-helped literature reading room built where it has a lot of 5-floppy disks, 3-floppy disks, video tapes, CD discs, VCD discs kept with their equipments if readers want to read some electronic literature. Not only are electronic carries not eliminated nor worn out, but also the operating cost of equipment can decrease if there was no reader.
