Since the foundation of the Capital Library Alliance in Beijing, 34 university libraries, including libraries of the prestigious Peking University and Tsinghua University, will be gradually open to the public. Some applaud the decision while others express their worries. The fallowings are opinions on whether university libraries should be open to the public. Read them carefully and write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the arguments on both sides;
2. give your comment.
Zheng Xinrong (Beijing Morning Post):
If resources in university libraries are not fully utilized, it will be a big waste. Some people worry that free entry to these libraries will lead to overcrowded libraries on campus, but this is not certain. Maybe not a single outsider would to visit university libraries.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people in China are interested in reading books. For example, you can always see many people playing games on their cellphones, instead of reading. Thus, opening university libraries to the public is actually a way to encourage more people to pick up books.
Generally speaking, outside readers usually choose libraries near their home and seldom go to a distant university library unless they have special need. Based on this fact, I believe university libraries will not necessarily become overcrowded even if they offer free access. Mostly, the beneficiaries of the free entry policy will be nearby residents.
Libraries should first meet students’ and teachers’ demand for books. If a book is already preordered by some student or teacher, it should not be lent to outsiders. Books that are not borrowed frequently by students and teachers should be brought into circulation. Doors can be closed to outsiders during the period when students are preparing for exams.
Xiong Bingqi (The Beijing News):
It’s great for university libraries to offer free entry to the public. But at the same time, it will make the management work more difficult and the limited book and space resources in university libraries might be further squeezed. Only depending on universities and the government will not ensure the sustainable development of the free entry policy. Therefore, it’s necessary to absorb some social institutions and welfare organizations. For example, it’s a good idea to set up a community club that brings together resources of nearby universities and even middle schools. Local residents can use these resources as long as they pay a small sum of money to be members of this club. Community residents should also have the opportunity to serve as volunteers in university libraries.
Gao Dali (www.enorth.com.cn):
To offer the public free entry into university libraries is now a mainstream idea. The question now is how to realize the openness. Nowadays, libraries’ resources are kept in the form of databases. The traditional way of borrowing and lending books needs manpower and capital input. I think the most effective way is to open these databases to the public.
Jia Ximing (www.enorth.com.cn):
Although universities’ opening their libraries to the public is a trend, the target readers of these libraries are students and teachers on the campus. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Xi’an University in Shaanxi Province once adopted the practice of opening to the public and even tried very hard to persuade nearby residents to come to read. But the practice was later suspended, because the library was unable to meet readers’ demands as the university’s books were mostly prepared for teaching and academic research. In addition, the library was unable to receive too many visits. After all, school library’s priority is to meet students’ and teachers’ demand and ensure the order of campus.

On University Libraries Being Opened to the Public Currently, offering the public free entry into university libraries has become a trend, which has sparked a heated debate. Some people hail it as a marvelous idea that not only allows university resources to be fully utilized, but also encourages more people to retrieve the habit of reading. Meanwhile, many express their doubts, concerning the act will bring difficulty to the management work and take up the limited resources that should be preferentially offered to university students and staff. In my view, it’s advisable that university libraries be opened to the public. To start with, the most obvious benefit of the idea is that it enables the resources of university libraries to get maximum utilization. University libraries boast a huge reservoir of resources. Even with large numbers of students and staff frequenting the libraries, only a limited part of the resources gets utilized, with materials of rare fields left largely unread. Therefore, the entry of the public, including people from all walks of life, can bring the resources into full use. Next, the policy contributes to cultivating a cultural atmosphere in the society. It’s universally acknowledged that reading is occupying an increasingly small place in people’s life. Providing the public with a more convenient and less costly access to profuse intellectual resources is beneficial for reversing the situation. Moreover, the public’s entry into university libraries gives students a chance of interacting with the society. University students are frequently described as living in the "ivory tower", possessing little knowledge and experience of the social life. If implemented properly, the free entry policy can serve as a way of providing social practice for students and let them get a glimpse of the society. In conclusion, opening university libraries to the public is a wise choice, on condition that proper measures are taken to reduce the side effects and ensure the policy gets effective implementation.
