I have been in Shanghai for almost three years, but I haven't been to the Shanghai Library. Taking the opportunity of this literature retrieval practice class, I was lucky enough to go to the Shanghai Library, which is rich in books and has a strong academic atmosphere. On that day, six of us wandered between the bus station and the subway station, and finally arrived at the Shanghai Library after more than an hour. Although the journey took a long time, I'm glad you came. In this action, we obtained a library reading certificate, felt a strong academic atmosphere, experienced the online resource retrieval system of Shanghai Library, browsed the books in the collection, consulted relevant materials, and got a deep understanding of Shanghai Library. Shanghai Library is a national first-class library, which was founded in July 1952 and opened to the public in February/996. It has nearly 52 million books, newspapers and periodicals, scientific and technological materials, more than 50,000 old records and other non-book materials, and 3.7 million historical documents, dating back to 1400 years. There are more than 65,438+08,000 genealogies and 342 surnames in Shanghai Library, which is the largest collection of China's genealogy at home and abroad. There are more than 8,000 kinds of Zhu Juan (including examination paper, township paper and tribute paper). Among these precious collections, there are 700 national first-class cultural relics and 700 second-class cultural relics 1300. Moreover, the library has a well-equipped reading room, personal research room, exhibition hall, academic activity room, lecture hall, multi-function hall and music appreciation room, which provides readers with a spacious and comfortable learning environment and precious resource enjoyment.

Readers can apply for different levels of reading certificates according to their needs and enter the library for a series of activities such as reading, searching and borrowing.
This time, we also learned some information about the literature retrieval course in Shanghai Library. For example, in terms of digital resources retrieval service, Shanghai Library has world-famous retrieval databases such as Engineering Index (EI), Chemical Abstracts (CA), Scientific Abstracts (SA) and Scientific Citation Index (SCI). Full-text patents of seven countries and two organizations, full-text patents of China, various secondary literature databases of patents of the United States, Europe, the world and China, standard databases of countries and industry associations such as Britain and the United States, and four sets of government reports of the United States; Full-text database of academic papers at home and abroad; Full-text database of domestic and foreign periodicals; And various professional network resource information. With these databases, the network resources of Shanghai Library are extremely rich. As long as you search for a keyword, you can choose many documents for reference, which provides great convenience for researchers and academics. Generally speaking, Shanghai Library is a place with cultural connotation. Humanized retrieval and lending services and rich and diverse collections have brought me great learning experience and convenience.
