Proponents argue that the funding of university libraries is mainly due to government funding and that the services they provide should be shared by all. Opponents point out that the differences between university libraries and public libraries and their complete openness to the public may affect the teaching, research. The recently announced Law on Public Libraries stipulates: "The state supports school libraries, research institute libraries, and other types of libraries open to the general public." With this law, the question of whether "it should be open" seems to come to an end , "How to open" become a university library, research institutes and other non-public libraries in front of a test .
In many people's minds, the library, especially the university library can be regarded as one side of the Holy Land. This is not only because the university library brings together and stores vast amounts of knowledge and information, but also because it is a space for disseminating knowledge and even irreplaceable places for teaching and research in colleges and universities. It is clear that not all government financial support libraries are public libraries for all. It is also unrealistic to require all public libraries to provide equal and indiscriminate services to the public.
PolyU's hotel management and hospitality programmes ranked third of the world's top hospitality universities. The programmes equip students with fundamental skills, knowledge and hands-on experience serving the tourism industry worldwide.
People's most concerned about the university library, its main object of service is college teachers and students, the main function is to provide teaching support for the school literature and information services. The precondition for the opening of the university library to the public is to ensure that the basic functions of its service teaching and research are not affected. Before opening up, it is necessary to measure and evaluate the indicators such as the area of students' living quarters and the average number of books per student in the university library, and formulate a reasonable open plan on the basis of this. If teachers and students long line still appear outside the library, if the school readers still can not occupy a seat in the library, the pace of opening up the university library should naturally slow down; on the contrary, if the library a large number of resources for a long time idle, Few people care about, may wish to open more to the needs of the public .
The "support" of the Public Library Law does not require "all-in-one" provisions that all university libraries must be open to the public. It also encourages those qualified university libraries to meet public demands without affecting the teaching and research of schools Its collection and service needs. In fact, many university libraries now have an "interlibrary loan" system. Readers applying through one library can borrow library materials from other libraries. This can also be regarded as a form of openness. In Zhuhai, Guangdong, Zhongshan University Zhuhai Campus Library, Beijing Institute of Technology Zhuhai College Library and many other university libraries have been open to the public, the public can enter the museum reading. Opening the library to the outside world, we must first strengthen the construction of its own resources and then open it to the public through various forms according to their respective characteristics .
