Services of Harvard Library and the Enlightenments for Other Academic Libraries

摘要

As the largest university library in the world, Harvard Library is an important indicator of Harvard University as a world-class university. Harvard Library possesses extremely rich resources, advanced facilities and distinctive features, supplying first-class services. Harvard Library not only serves teaching, learning and scientific research, but also provides distinctive and refined services, humanized services for disadvantaged groups, public services for the society, as well as many international exchanges with academic libraries in other countries. The service systems of Harvard Library provide constructive references for other academic universities especially those in China. Academic libraries could actively learn from Harvard Library and substantially improve their construction and service levels, providing high-quality services for their students, teachers, researchers, and even the public.
