Study on the Construction of Characteristic Database of Ordinary University Library

Since the establishment of CALIS Ninth Five-Year Plan’s characteristic database construction of University Library in 1999,the characteristic database construction of university has obtained great achievements and has made the contributions for improving the efficiency of the use of literature resources. However,these characteristic databases were constructed under the closed state, so, there are some shortages in these databases such as the small scale,incomprehensive collection of literature resources,diversified technical standards, and restricting of external network access,etc. To overcome abovementioned shortcomings must strengthen the planning and coordinating functions of the government in the construction of the characteristic database, take the road of market-oriented and specialized construction, at the same time,and establish the incentive systems adapting to the market economy environment.
