? Through the research and analysis of the resources, services and management of the circulation department of private university library, this paper finds out the shortcomings of the circulation department of private university library, and then puts forward some improvement methods in combination with the actual situation, so as to improve the service quality of the whole private library.
? Because the private university library has not been established for a long time, it is not perfect in terms of collection quantity, collection quality and reader service. We think the circulation department of the library is an important department. This paper discusses some problems encountered in the management of circulation department of private university libraries and their improvement methods, and then extends them to the management of other departments of libraries, so as to enhance the overall strength of private university libraries and make them play a greater role in teaching and scientific research in universities. It is clearly pointed out in the "Regulations of University Libraries" issued by the State Education Commission:? Library is the document information center of colleges and universities, and it is an academic institution serving teaching and scientific research. ? The circulation department is an important service window of the library, a symbol of the spiritual civilization of the library, and plays a vital role in establishing the overall image of the library. As an important service window of the library, how to further improve the circulation department will be analyzed from three aspects: resources, service and management.
? 1 The library should not only increase the number of books, but also improve the quality of books, which is an important link in the work of private university libraries and needs the cooperation of all departments, among which the responsibilities of the circulation department managers are particularly critical.
? Whether the university library is loved by teachers and students, whether it can meet the needs of teachers and students, and whether it can give full play to its value in the teaching research of colleges and universities is mainly reflected in the borrowing rate of books in the circulation department from the macro perspective and the intrinsic value of books from the micro perspective. However, no matter from which aspect, the quality of library collections plays a decisive role. Usually people think that the quality of library collection depends entirely on the quality of books purchased by the editing department, but it is not. The administrative staff of the distribution department also plays an important role in this regard. Because the staff of the circulation department have direct contact with teachers and students, they know which fields of knowledge books most teachers and students are more interested in, and which kinds of books in the library are highly used but not enough. However, some books have too many copies and are not valued by teachers and students. We can make use of the advantage of convenient contact with teachers and students to make a survey. When teachers and students come to the library to borrow and return books, we can make a simple statistics on them. You can also cooperate with other departments, such as suggesting that all departments assist in conducting questionnaires to present the borrowing needs and wishes of teachers and students with specific figures, which can facilitate the adjustment and improvement of library work. We can also use network resources to carry out our investigation. There is a special library section on the homepage of the school website, which can be suggested by setting up a reading mailbox; Library managers' service satisfaction, recommended books and other sectors to improve library management.
? In addition, we can count the borrowing rate of books and judge the maximum demand according to the borrowing rate of books. This analysis result can be used as the main reference for library to buy books. Through various forms of investigation, we can grasp the demand of most teachers and students for books. In the process of investigation, we should make a systematic and detailed investigation in different fields. Then analyze, study and sort out the investigation report, and then improve the library. The data and research results obtained from the analysis should reach the staff of the editorial department at the first time, and take these data as a reference for the work of the distribution department. As far as the development of private colleges and universities is concerned, these research methods can make the library use limited funds to improve the quality of books collected, enrich and optimize the variety and quality of books collected by circulation departments, and can also be used as the main basis for the library to store duplicate books, meet the needs of most teachers and students to the maximum extent when supplementing the books collected, optimize the primary and secondary structure of books collected, and balance the proportion of books collected, which not only avoids unnecessary waste to the college, but also improves the quality of books collected and meets the reading needs of teachers and students.
? Serving readers is the starting point and destination of all library work, and it is also the focus of library circulation department. Therefore, private university libraries must do a good job in reader service and improve service quality.
? The circulation department should not only meet the literature demand of college teaching and scientific research, but also meet the needs of students' learning. In addition to improving the service quality, we should also improve the backward management concept, have a brand-new service concept, service content and service mode, and improve the service level in all directions. The staff of the circulation department should first have a strong sense of responsibility for the work they undertake, take everything for readers, everything for readers and meeting all the requirements of readers as the service purpose of the circulation department, and take providing timely, accurate, convenient and flexible literature information services for teachers and students as the focus of the library circulation department. Make clear their roles and always remember their service groups. Secondly, it is also important to cultivate and improve the professional quality and cultural accomplishment of the staff in the circulation department. In the usual work, we should pay attention to observing the regulations of the circulation department and understanding the characteristics of the work, accurately grasp the contents of the literature collection, guide teachers and students to make full use of the library's collection resources, and easily answer all kinds of questions about books for them. For example, we should take the initiative to give readers a brief introduction, such as the basic layout, characteristics, nature and categories of library collections, etc. To upgrade the original computer catalog retrieval and query system for readers, it is necessary to help readers find the books to borrow accurately in the shortest time and through the fastest query method to meet the needs of readers. Doing a good job in the publicity of new books on shelves can establish a new book corner, so that readers can keep abreast of the latest developments of books in the collection. With the popularization of modern information, we should use network resources to serve readers. For example, by adding a book retrieval tool to the library section of the college website, teachers and students can conveniently check the collection of books in our library in the office or dormitory to see if there are any books they want to borrow, which saves valuable time, manpower and material resources. We should always pay attention to the academic and scientific research tasks of the school, expand the service work to the teaching and scientific research field of the school, and become the mainstay of the academic construction of the school, thus improving the utilization rate of books in the library. Due to the complexity and diversity of various departments and majors in colleges and universities, there are great differences between books, which leads to complex service work. Judging from the needs of teachers in various departments, teachers in English and Chinese departments who are partial to liberal arts often mainly borrow books about basic knowledge, while teachers in business, mathematics, computer and Chinese departments have different requirements for books. They pay more attention to applied knowledge and need to read innovative and practical books. In terms of students' needs and basic knowledge books, students are similar to teachers. However, if the books and materials needed for the examination or grading should be the latest published this year, the staff of the circulation department should recommend different books and materials to teachers and students according to their professional conditions and needs.
? The circulation department of the library should follow the people-oriented principle and implement the humanized management mode. Only by mobilizing the subjective initiative of the staff of the library circulation department can we improve the management level of the library, give full play to the service function of the library circulation department and improve the borrowing environment of teachers and students.
