Library is one of the three pillars of a university, and it is a concentrated expression of its comprehensive strength. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period (2 1 1), with the increasing investment in resource construction and hardware network facilities, Tianjin University Library has made great progress in resource construction, system platform construction and reader service. Focusing on the school's orientation of "industry-oriented, combining science with engineering, and coordinating the development of economics, management, literature, law and other disciplines", a set of relatively complete disciplines, key disciplines and key guarantees have been formed through the introduction, self-built database, * * * * sharing of resources, full integration of links, complementary paper documents and electronic documents, and parallel development of physical resources and virtual resources. In order to meet the individual needs of readers at different levels, in addition to the traditional lending service, network information service and reference service, the library also provides novelty retrieval, original text delivery, topic selection service, professional literature research and subject-oriented information resource lectures, which provides strong support for teaching, scientific research and discipline construction.

Tianjin University Library's huge resources, fast and convenient network facilities, conscientious librarians and teachers attract students who climb the peak of knowledge. The library receives more than 6.5438+0.7 million readers every year, and the total number of books borrowed and returned reaches 6.5438+0.8 million. Open-shelf lending mode is implemented, which is open for 654.38+0.06 hours per week, providing 7-day service for 34,000 readers in the whole school. With the acceleration of digital library construction, the online reading and downloading of electronic resources has also increased year by year, reaching 480,000 times in 2004, 860,000 times in 2005 and 6,543,800+0.27 million times in 2006. These figures fully reflect the important role of the library in the teaching and research of teachers and students in the school, and also reflect the rigorous study style of Tianda from one side.

Tianjin University Library will inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of "seeking truth from facts", take educating people as the main line of work, take innovation as the working idea, and take readers as the foundation of work, and strive to build a document resource guarantee service system and a high-level information system platform suitable for the development of the school's disciplines, provide convenient information resources and high-quality information services for teachers and students, and promote the all-round development of the school's personnel training, discipline construction and scientific research work!
