I don't like reading electronic books. I subconsciously resist the erosion of my spiritual world by the electronic age. And Gu Hongming's stubbornness that "the lotus is covered by rain, the chrysanthemum has branches in Ao Shuang" has strengthened his ambition. A friend once advised me to make good use of online resources. He smiled: "you young man, you don't accept new things, you are simply a living fossil living in the internet age." You like reading. Do you think people on the Internet play games every day? The resources above are very rich! There are also many awesome people! You will know when you use it! " "Can you find a genuine book?" My friend laughed at me and downloaded a superstar 3 for me without saying anything. 9 version of the software, began to reform the stubborn process. Like a curious child, I pushed open a magical door. That was the first time I came into contact with e-books, and it was out of control from then on.
In college, teachers have been cultivating our version consciousness. So I buy ancient books other than Zhonghua Bookstore and Shanghai ancient books. However, a better version of a book is always expensive. I have to tighten my belt in order to buy a good set of books I like. But there are always good books that I can't buy. I remember the first time I found the books on my list on Superstar, I had a feeling of seeing each other for a long time.
However, if I really want to change from a novice in digital library to an enthusiastic advocate, I have to talk about my graduation thesis when I was in graduate school at Sichuan University. My topic is to dig up a Bashu writer named Shen Qiyu. Shen Qiyu was active in 1930s and 1940s, and was unique in literary creation and theoretical research. Unfortunately, due to political factors, he was forgotten by history. Because this topic has never been involved, there is no article in all the materials to refer to. Because the materials involved are all original newspapers, magazines and books in the Republic of China, document collection has become the biggest problem in completing the paper. I spent nearly two months in the newspaper reading room before liberation on the second floor of Sichuan University. I think I have collected almost all the information, so I started to make a chronology. One night, I was tired of typing and accidentally found the word "Shen Qiyu" with a superstar. To my surprise, I found the relevant information on 1 1 page. There is no doubt that there is no road and there is another village! I am like a gold digger, thinking that all the veins I have dug have been dug up, and suddenly there is a shining golden sand in front of me. A burst of ecstasy! I copied them down one by one and carefully compared them with the materials I checked, only to find that many articles left in the catalogue can find the original text, and nearly 1/3 articles are newly discovered. This search made me sit up and take notice of this superstar. Many lost files can be found here! Since then, I have tried various methods of searching for superstars, and every different search result is worth looking forward to. Soon I found some missing information in the reading program of Superstar. When my thesis information is searched here, my chronology has changed from a thin two pages to five pages, but I dare not easily conclude that my data collection is sufficient. The miracle brought to me by the Superstar Library makes me believe that I can find more information on the Internet. During that time, I was like a hunter ready to go. I spent most of my time squatting on the Internet, using this big net to salvage Yi Zhu and Li Ji during the Republic of China. I also often go to the library to listen to digital library search skills and often give lectures on databases. These lectures are very useful to me, and the skills I heard can be used to search for papers immediately. I have collected a large number of databases and commonly used retrieval methods to retrieve materials of the Republic of China. With full and accurate information, my thesis finally entered the writing stage. One day, my tutor brought several brothers and sisters to have a reading meeting with us. A younger brother is also doing a paper on the Republic of China. He told us that he personally went to Beijing to find articles and spent more than 2000 yuan, all of which cost him. I couldn't help laughing amid the screaming. Just saw the book he said in a book database of the Republic of China, you can download it! I think people who do academic work should have such a pro-academic spirit. However, as a modern scholar, if you can use all kinds of book resources and all kinds of necessary search skills to find your own research materials, why waste people and money?
Every time I read the scanned e-book and see the yellow or even corroded pages, I can't help but sigh a lot. I remember when I looked up the new Shu newspaper in the library, I clearly saw 1939 in the book catalogue, but I couldn't find it. Asked the teacher, she said with a wry smile, this book has long been moth-eaten into powder! I once heard a friend who studied classical literature say that most people have no chance to look at rare rare rare books. These books are strictly protected and only a few people have access to them. On the one hand, libraries lacking funds watch precious documents turn into powder, on the other hand, libraries with sufficient funds strictly protect these books, making them "outnumbered" and "less popular". However, in spite of this, I am afraid that these books and periodicals, which condense the spiritual wealth of human beings, will air-dry and materialize sooner or later and go up in smoke. Even rare books can't change their fate. However, if these precious materials can be converted into digital books, these books will not be isolated, and these books will no longer be shelved, even if ordinary readers are thousands of miles away. On the contrary, more people will have the opportunity to see their true contents, absorb their nutrients, and let the real use of documents return!
I took advantage of the convenience of modern science and technology in digital library and absorbed the essence of humanistic spirit in previous dynasties. Wandering between the lines of ancient leisure, galloping in rigorous and profound academic publications. I pushed open the door of the digital library, but when I saw the pond half an acre square open, the sky was overcast. Who can refuse this unique scenery behind the door!
