SU Xinning / Opportunities and challenges faced by digital libraries in the big data era 015

technology, but learn how to use these techniques, especially the key techniques to apply big data
to digital libraries. They should be familiar with all kinds of data analysis tools and software. They
should master Internet resources, literatures, and other types of databases, and endeavor to become
a knowledgeable person in academic resources and network resources.

3 Conclusion

Big data has motivated a major transition of digital libraries. It calls for digital libraries to expand
their data resources, improve the capabilities, strengthen the service functions, and enrich the
service products. A brand new digital library will be constructed in this era. Under such a new
environment, we should have a new understanding on digital libraries, think from multiple aspects
like resource framework, technology application, and service mode, think by numbers, and observe
the changes of digital libraries. Next generation digital libraries will depend on each other to
survive in the competition with academic resource constructors and progress under the big data
environment.
