University library is the document information center of universities and an important part of teachers' teaching and scientific research. With the deepening of educational system reform and the vigorous promotion of lifelong education, university libraries have gradually become the base of quality education. University libraries should strive to provide high-quality and efficient services for readers and provide various auxiliary reference materials for scientific research, so as to give full play to its due role. In recent years, the utilization rate of books in university libraries has been declining, which has seriously restricted the development of university libraries. How to improve the literature utilization rate of university libraries and increase the scope and intensity of university libraries will be the research direction of university libraries. 1. Analysis of factors affecting the utilization rate of books in university libraries 1. Librarians have a weak sense of service, outdated concepts and low professional level. Today's university library has gradually changed from a simple collection catalogue center to a scientific and technological cultural information center and a consulting service center. However, the service concept of librarians is obviously lagging behind. Librarians' cultural and professional qualities are low, and their cultural level is not high. They can not only provide simple services for readers, but also be impatient with readers' questions, and some even turn a blind eye. Poor service attitude will affect readers' interest in borrowing. 2. The library management system is not scientific and reasonable, and the measures are not perfect. Although all university libraries have rules and regulations, some rules and regulations are not scientific enough, and librarians do not strictly abide by them when implementing them. In addition, librarians sometimes attach importance to emotion rather than system, which seriously affects the position and image of the library in the eyes of readers. It is necessary to formulate rules and regulations so that all work can be followed, and constantly improve the system in practice to ensure the orderly circulation of books. 3. The concept of "readers first" of librarians with incomplete service facilities and single service form has not really been established. The service forms are mostly limited to simple borrowing and returning, and the promotion of new books is not in place, which greatly affects the attraction of the library to readers. In addition, the imperfect catalogue organization and nonstandard description make it difficult for readers to find books, which makes some students unwilling to choose books through the catalogue, thus lacking understanding of the books in the library, leading to low utilization rate of books and affecting their borrowing effect. 4. Lack of training in literature retrieval skills. Some students lack systematic knowledge of literature retrieval, and the school does not offer literature retrieval courses, which leads to students' inability to retrieve the required bibliography in the library collection catalogue, thus greatly limiting the use of books. At the same time, without other forms of literature retrieval education, readers will not be able to make good use of the library's network digital resources, which is not conducive to improving the utilization rate of the library. 5. Not enough publicity for the library. Library is often compared to "the temple of knowledge" and "the fountain of wisdom", which makes it occupy a high position in people's minds. The deep-rooted concept of "the library is sacred" has caused the weak self-promotion consciousness of the library. It is believed that people should know about the library and will consciously enter the library. However, freshmen have just entered the university campus, are not familiar with the new environment, and have not yet fully realized the importance of the library in their university period. The library staff did not strengthen the education for freshmen, but passively waited for the arrival of readers and did not actively promote the library to freshmen. 6. Students are not familiar with library services for their own reasons. They are not familiar with all kinds of rules and regulations before using the library, and some readers put books in disorder when borrowing, which leads to disorder of books. When some readers can't find the book they need, they don't go to the librarian for help or reflection, but go to other books to make do, or think that the library will give up borrowing without this book and return empty-handed. Some readers' own quality is not high, they write books indiscriminately, and some even tear off the pages, which affects the use effect of other readers. Some students are busy with part-time jobs and have little time to read extensively in the library after school. Second, in view of the low utilization rate of books, the countermeasures that university libraries should have 1. To improve the quality of librarians, we should improve the service consciousness, change the concept and improve the professional level. Librarians should seriously study Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, and strive to improve their political consciousness. In order to adapt to the changes of the times and change the service concept, we must be guided by the professional ethics of "love our posts and dedication", adhere to the working principle of "readers first, service first", and improve our knowledge structure through various forms of continuing education. You should not only have knowledge of library science, but also master computer operation ability, have a certain level of foreign language and ancient Chinese, and constantly improve your comprehensive ability. 2. Strengthen user education, cultivate users' awareness of literature retrieval, and strengthen publicity. In the reception work, the library staff should cooperate with the retrieval course education and guide readers on the specific skills of using library documents. Such as library catalogue introduction, catalogue inquiry, identification of description marks, use of retrieval tools, etc. , create conditions for readers to actively use books, so as to improve the utilization rate of books. The library regularly holds lectures on the retrieval of online academic literature resources. Through lectures, readers can systematically understand the retrieval of online academic documents, and at the same time, they can understand the methods of computer retrieval by means of explanation and demonstration. After the lecture, there is enough time for readers to operate and ask questions on the computer, and give some readers special guidance on their questions until they are satisfied. 3. The library should do a good job in all aspects of book collection construction (1) and improve the quality of book purchase. The procurement of university library should make the construction plan of literature information resources according to the development goal of the school, the needs of teaching and scientific research, the budget, etc., make specific literature selection and procurement, and gradually establish a distinctive collection system. Literature collection is the material basis for the library to serve readers. Whether the literature collected by the library can meet the nature, task and service direction of the library and meet the basic needs of readers in this area will directly affect the utilization and scientific research achievements of readers. Therefore, when purchasing books, we must ensure good quality, so that when purchasing books, we must be feasible and selective, targeted and applied, so as to ensure that the construction of literature resources can be tilted towards key disciplines and excellent courses, taking into account general disciplines. When purchasing books, we should properly handle the relationship between categories and number of copies, refer to readers' opinions and suggestions, and meet the needs of most readers as much as possible. At the same time, we should keep in touch with teachers, understand their needs, organize teachers to go out and collect the books they need, and make full use of the books in the embassy. (2) Scientific management, improving the circulation speed of books and realizing the automation of management technology will greatly change the functions and activities of management institutions, and also make the work of libraries more orderly and efficient. The use of manpower, material resources and financial resources will be scientifically and reasonably organized and used with automatic management. After the new book arrives at the library, it is necessary to make it enter circulation as soon as possible and meet the readers, which requires shortening the processing time as much as possible. The processing procedures of books include unpacking acceptance, cataloging, classification, bar code, magnetic stripe, description, book paper and so on. Only after these procedures are completed can they enter circulation. In the case of insufficient manpower, in order to complete these procedures quickly, we should give full play to the role of volunteer librarians as much as possible. (3) Strengthen the management of stacks in strict accordance with the China Library Classification, arrange shelves according to the classification and shelving method, and set up eye-catching signs on the bookshelves to indicate the classification number and category. Circulation personnel should often visit the stacks, enthusiastically guide readers and help them understand the shelving methods. Reading guidance can also consciously guide readers to read useful and beneficial books and avoid the situation that some good books are "hidden in the boudoir". Arrange bookshelves anytime and anywhere, put messy books in time, and put the returned books on shelves in time to improve the circulation and utilization of books. Readers are often urged to use alternative bookplates to reduce disorder and dislocation. Help readers master the methods and ways of computer retrieval, so that readers can query the required information quickly and accurately. Improve the open-shelf lending method. For sample books, rare books and reference books that cannot be lent out, if it is necessary to lend them out under special circumstances, it is necessary to strictly register them, and the responsibility lies with the people, so as to return them. (4) Reasonably arrange service hours, determine the number of librarians according to the peak of readers' borrowing, and determine the peak of readers' borrowing as "core working hours". Before the start of each semester and before the holiday, the number of librarians should be appropriately adjusted within two weeks after the freshmen get their library cards, after class and other peak periods, so as to reduce the time for readers to borrow and return books and improve service efficiency. Arrange the librarian to handle the return of graduates before the holiday. It is necessary to increase the opening hours of the reading room as much as possible to give readers the opportunity to use the library. 4. Cultivate readers' information awareness and retrieval skills. Today's society is a society of survival of the fittest and fierce competition. Many colleges and universities have gradually changed from cultivating single-type talents to cultivating compound talents, that is, breaking the boundaries of disciplines and cultivating talents with "one specialty and many functions". As a college student, we should not only study professional knowledge solidly, but also dabble in various disciplines and fields, and most of these knowledge must be learned through books. University libraries should educate and train readers in information awareness and information retrieval ability in a planned and hierarchical way. If we arrange special personnel to educate freshmen on how to use the library and offer the course of "document retrieval" to senior students, we can further improve the utilization rate of books in the library by stimulating readers' curiosity through education. 5. Actively publicize and popularize the rich literature resources of the library, which is the common spiritual wealth of mankind. The library should cooperate with the school propaganda, let freshmen know about the library, and let other readers know about the library. The first level of publicity is: let readers know what the library is, what the library can do for you, and let people find the library and walk into it; The second level of publicity is to understand what the library has and how to make good use of it. There are a large number of books in the library. Readers don't know how to start in the sea of knowledge, which requires librarians to provide readers with various channels and forms to publicize library book information through scientific services, and guide readers to use library literature resources to expand their knowledge and improve their reading interests and hobbies. Show some books that have not been discovered and used by readers for the time being to improve the utilization rate of books. Change passive service into active service, and change looking for books for people to find people for books. Publish the information of the library to the internet, so that college students can keep abreast of the library's dynamics, thus making full use of the library's information and resources. 6. Strengthen the students' concept of using the library, train the freshmen to use the library, cultivate their awareness of using the library correctly, and make them realize that various types and contents of the library can meet the needs of different readers. At the same time, readers of the library should be trained before using it, and taught how to use various resources of the library and how to protect books after borrowing. Library service is a series of activities that make full use of library resources to directly provide readers with literature information according to readers' literature needs. Its purpose is to meet readers' various literature needs to the maximum extent by developing and utilizing various resources of the library. Therefore, it is more important to improve the utilization rate of library books. Only the cooperation of library leaders, librarians and readers can effectively improve the utilization rate and give full play to the functions of the library. In today's 2 1 century, only by renewing ideas and strengthening management can university libraries stimulate readers' needs, truly put people first, educate people with books, strive to create an atmosphere of "reading more and reading better books" and give full play to the functions of libraries.
