The media
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. Thus, the government may consider offering some subsidies to universities as incentives to encourage more libraries to join the library alliance.
However, 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.
Guangming Daily: When university libraries offer free entry, it does not mean that readers can enter these libraries without any certificates. People must at least show their ID cards to enter university libraries. On campus, even for students and teachers in universities, they still need things like student certificates to enter their university libraries. Without basic requirements, university libraries will fall into kind of mess in many aspects.
When the public is provided with free entry to university libraries, one striking problem is that they will surely compete with university students and teachers for the already limited books and space. In this sense, it requires the government to increase inputs in university libraries so that the free entry policy can be well implemented. If libraries find it impossible to satisfy both students’ and the public’s demands, students should be put first. After all, in China, the purpose of university libraries is to serve students and teachers for their learning, teaching and academic research.
The general public
Donald: 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 go to visit university libraries.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people in China are interested in reading books. For example, you can always see 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.
Daniel: To offer the public free entry to 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.
Yang: Libraries’ openness to the public needs those universities’ proper arrangement. It’s necessary to avoid any conflict between students’ use of libraries and that of the public. It needs a balance between ensuring the service to students and teachers and providing service to outsiders.

答案
My Views on University Libraries’ Opening to the Public The views, from both the media and the general public, concerning the controversial issue of whether university libraries should be open to the public seem to coincide. Free entry to university libraries benefits the general public in that it draws people now indulged in modern technology into reading. However, the management of the school should be upgraded and maybe it is better for the government to allocate capital to help universities tackle emerging problems. Besides, students instead of the outsiders should be given priority. Historically, public libraries act positively in provoking readers’ mindset. However, today, public libraries are far from satisfying the general public’s needs for lack of funds and poor management. University libraries’ opening to the public is being developed under such a background in China and I am also very supportive of this practice. Firstly, university libraries’ opening to the public will make it easier for more people to access books in universities and make reading books more convenient. Especially, some people may begin to love reading on the ground that they will get information or data easily and that they will probably love the environment a university library usually possesses uniquely, which undoubtedly does good to the readers. Secondly, a university library usually has many professional books or even the only existing copy which will benefit just a few professionals instead of the university’s undergraduates or postgraduates. In this case, opening to the public will make good use of such books. Thirdly, the idea that some college students and teachers hold, say, if universities open their libraries to outsiders, the limited book resources will be "invaded" and it will affect students’ normal study and life, is wrong because opening university libraries to the public asks for better management, which in turn will benefit the university. In particular, the opening of libraries shows the crux of education to help more people to improve. Moreover, socially, the university will play a positive role, which cannot be emphasized too much. Therefore, the university libraries’ opening to the public will fulfil the function of a university to serve the society. Especially, when nation-wide reading is advocated in the whole nation nowadays, the opening seems urgent and integrant.
