What are the shortcomings of traditional libraries?

The disadvantages of traditional library are: the storage density of knowledge information carrier is small, the volume is large, and it needs enough storage space and more people to manage it. The service quality is easily influenced by human factors, such as the service level and attitude of library staff, which will affect the acquisition and utilization of information resources. From the service object, its service object is relatively simple, mainly serving readers in the unit and the region, limited by time and space and quantity. Backward service means, slow information retrieval speed, unable to obtain the latest and urgently needed information in time, unable to achieve the purpose of sharing information resources. Plus: Compared with traditional libraries, digital libraries have the following advantages: ① Small size, large information storage, and digital collections save a lot of library space and manpower. ② The transmission speed of network information is fast, and some latest information can be obtained quickly through the network. ② The network service area is wide, covering a wide area, and information acquisition is not limited by time and space and quantity. As long as there are users with computers connected to the network, they can freely browse, query, retrieve, access and utilize the information resources on the network anytime and anywhere. The service quality is less affected by human factors.
