The Application of Computer Science and Technology in Libraries

Abstract

The faster and faster development of information network drives the progress of the society. The application of computer in people's daily life is becoming more and more widely. Computer science and technology do not only provide university libraries with new tools and means, but also change university libraries profoundly, from theory to practice, from technology to model. At present, although we see the gratifying situation of libraries, there are also some problems which are worthy of thinking, such as the disconnection between the theory and practice, ignoring theory research and too dependent on technology. Through the discussion of the important role of the computer technology in the university library development, as well as the negative impacts to the university library caused by the one-sided emphasis on computer technology, this paper puts forward that both the two are the relationship between theory and practice. The university library development cannot leave the computer technology, the library theory also decides the breadth and depth of the application of computer technology in the library field.
