Integrated library automation system

• The INNOPAC integrated automaton system was
  installed in the Library in1998. With this
  system, the acquisition, cataloging, series
  management, circulation and OPAC of the library
  can be operated automatically. The Library's
  INNOPAC system is also connected to the
  campus-wide network, CERNET and Internet, and
  therefore users outside the university can access
  to the library resources through the Internet.

Journals Navigation System

• provides search and browse function.
• Journal list can be ordered by journal name,
  database name, or
• subject.
• Especially navigation system includes a
  subscription of the latest
• annual edition print journals and
  periodicals, free and non-free
• electronic and periodicals.
• In the system, each title has a directly link ,
  for the print version ,from which users can reach
  to OPAC records to check its collection, for
  e-version, from which users can access to full
  text.

the Remote Dissertations Submit System
The system allows students to submit
their dissertations to librarys server in
required format through network, and then
proofreads them automatically decline those
which are not in accordance with the required
format. The Dissertations which meet the
requirements are submitted into the library
database right away, and can be immediately
searched and browsed.

Access Control System

• With the establishment of Access
  Control System, using the laser scanner,librarian
  can record the reads Barcode while readers are
  entering the library. In this way, librarians can
  count readers number, record readers identity
  and this makes it easy for statistics management,
  reduces the librarians on duty for reading room
  and improves the working efficiency and
  management level.

2.2 Digitization With the development of
digital technologies and the issue of the
corresponding domestic standards, XJTU Library
set up a special digitization department. The
department has eight high-quality scanners, 12
PCs, digital cameras and other equipments and
works on the digitization of special
collections. So far, full texts of 11,000
dissertations (including Masters and Ph.D.),
7,600 volumes of books published before 1949 and
2,500 copies of rare books have digitized . All
of those digital resources can be searched and
browsed on library homepage on campus

• SAN Storage
• In 2001, purchased SCSI RAID system, equipped
  with 23 pieces of 73G SCSI hard disk, with a
  total capacity of 1.6T.
• Since 2004, set up SAN Storage system,IBM
  FastT900 ,with two 16-port SAN switches, one
  Midrange Disk System, four Storage Expansions,
  and one LTO Ultrium Scalable Tape Library.
• Used for storing and backup our own digital
  resource,like XJTU dissertation and theses and
  such databases

3. Prospect

• To summarize the development of construction
  in automation, network and digitization of XJTU
  library, the future library is a digital and
  virtual library, based on developed networks,
  numerous servers and huge storage systems, with
  immense digital resources as collections.
  Advanced guide systems will lead readers to roam
  in the network of the digital library and enjoy
  the immense digital recourses conveniently and
  quickly.
