The matter regarding the campus network construction agreement has come to an end for the time being.
Half of the construction at the new school headquarters will be completed by the end of July, and the rest will have to wait until the end of the year to be completed.
After all, the campus is so big that even if hundreds of millions are spent, it can’t be done all at once.
But if half of the project is completed, it will basically meet the students' learning and other requirements.
Of course, Xu Li strongly requested that the construction of the library be completed before mid-July. The library was designed with reference to the Möubis Circle, and it will definitely become one of the check-in points for students when it is completed.
In addition, I also reserve several batches of new books in advance with many booksellers, and I also collect some second-hand books, old books, etc.
In this regard, the logistics department also went to cities with relatively good reputations to investigate and purchase.
Second-hand books would have been more popular in the past.
It’s just that times have changed now. Second-hand and second-hand books are basically no longer wanted. Many bosses who are engaged in this field can no longer work in this field and have changed careers.
However, after Suiren College issued the purchase notice, it also took the initiative to contact some second-hand booksellers, and these businessmen were also willing to sell these books in their hands.
If you don't take action at this time, you will suffer a lot by then.
Pengcheng Shijin Bookstore
This is the largest second-hand bookstore in the city.
The boss, Lao Wan, started selling books at a stall twenty years ago. Later, he started selling books before he saved a little money.
The business used to be very prosperous, and at that time all kinds of books were sold.
There are all kinds of novels, comic books, "Story Club", etc.
But it didn’t work in the past two years, and the business plummeted.
It would be fine if it was more recent, but now many people buy second-hand books online.
And he is still in the traditional offline sales mode.
It's not like he hasn't considered online operations, but the cost of operation is higher this way, and a lot of money will be spent on logistics and packaging.
Taking this into consideration, he stopped doing it.
Now the second-hand books in the bookstore he runs are sold at ten yuan per catty, basically making small profits but quick turnover.
But now he is also feeling more and more pressure.
Because the profit alone for the entire store rent is not enough, he has no education, so he can only do other side jobs, and his wife also does the kind of job of ordering clothes.
"It's only a day if you can live it~"
Lao Wan looked at the sparse passers-by in front of the store and sighed.
Although business is not good, life still has to go on.
You can't complain every day. Now this small hall can last for one day.
Although life is unsatisfactory, he always has so many books around him, and he can read a few from time to time, and experiencing the joy of reading can be regarded as joy in hardship.
Just when he was about to pick up a book to read, a well-dressed young man walked into the bookstore. When he saw Lao Wan, he said: "Is this Boss He?"
"I am, who are you?" Lao Wan stood up in confusion.
"Oh, I'm the person in charge of logistics procurement at Suiren College. Here's the thing. Our school's latest library is about to be built, so we need to purchase a large number of old and second-hand books to fill the library. So I came to you, hoping to bring Boss He to the library.
All the books available now are included in the package."
"In addition, we hope to do some disinfection and book sorting to facilitate our management. Of course, we will also pay this part of the money in advance. Our school is responsible for the logistics costs..." p>
After the other party explained for a while, Lao He finally understood the purpose of his visit.
Of course he is happy to sell these books, but it would be a pity if they were just thrown into the garbage disposal station.
It is a good thing to have a university now, at least it recycles.
Therefore, Lao He was very happy to sign a relevant long-term purchase agreement with Suiren College, and also paid the relevant costs in terms of logistics, disinfection and manual screening and sorting of books.
After Lao He sent the person in charge of purchasing away, his frown relaxed and his smile was like a blooming daisy.
......
One month has passed
The Moubis Ring Library, which I had longed for, was finally completed.
If the banknote ability had not been activated, it would have taken at least two or three years at the earliest.
From the outside, the library’s outermost perimeter adopts a “bookship” design, which is very impactful.
It's like the bow of a ship protruding from the vast ocean.
If you look at it from the air, it will be a proper Moubis ring design, leaving a small part in the middle as a small courtyard for greening.
There are small lakes on both sides. Rows of willows, bamboos and trees are planted around the small lake. There are many birds happily looking for food by the lake.
The surface of the lake is sparkling and the water is crystal clear, thanks to the participation of Qinglan Company in the water purification project.
An avenue in the middle leads directly to the library door, giving it a majestic feeling.
"Principal, let's go into the library and have a look!"
Director Qin Yun reminded.
"Then let's go."
Then, Xu Li walked into the library followed by a group of school leaders.
As soon as we arrived at the door, a brand new security inspection machine was placed here, mainly to prevent students from bringing flammable and explosive items into the library without authorization, which is a great safety hazard.
An automatic sensor system is also installed at the gate, which mainly identifies the number of people entering and exiting the library every day and collects relevant data.
I have to say, you wouldn’t know it until you come in, but the space inside is quite large.
There are two stairs, one is a normal staircase, and the other is a spiral elevator that goes around the pillars.
It looks like two dragons coiling pillars, all the way to the zenith, very spectacular.
There is a huge consultation desk on the first floor, as well as a rest area and a magazine and newspaper browsing area.
The entire library is air-conditioned and has an independent central air-conditioning control room.
I took the elevator to the upper floor. The large area was filled with bookshelves, but the bookshelves were empty.
Because the library has just been built, once the introduction of the library regional cluster management system and the recruitment of library personnel are completed, all types of purchased books will be uniformly marked and coded, and recorded in the school's library management database to facilitate query and search.<
/p>
"It's not bad. By the way, do you have any suggestions for the library's electronic management system?"
Xu Li looked around and was satisfied.
Then he turned around and asked the people behind him.
"Principal, we really don't have any good recommendations at the moment, because there are all kinds of intelligent library management systems on the market, but I have sorted out the information."
Liu Ying, the head of the school's human resources department, pushed up her glasses and handed a stack of information to Xu Li.
He took it and flipped through it for a while, roughly understanding the current status of the intelligent library management system.
At present, many university libraries and even libraries in public institutions basically need to implement functions such as joint cataloging, checking the borrowing status of each library, and real-time data synchronization.
It is necessary to use relatively excellent algorithms to achieve digital and intelligent purposes, and there are currently Beichuan, Qingchuan and other brands of library management systems on the market.
Many universities with sufficient funds tend to use more accurate and expensive library management systems. Those with insufficient budgets can only use more cost-effective ones.
In short, it depends on the budget and needs of each university.
However, these library management systems on the market are basically systems built based on computer languages such as JAVA and C language, and are also combined with a large number of functions and other algorithms to help optimize.
Xu Li frowned slightly.
Although there are ready-made intelligent library management systems on the market that can be introduced, the security risks are also great.
It’s better to build one yourself! At least you can rest assured that you made it yourself.
However, when the time comes, Xiao Hei can appear.
The intelligentization and data processing of library management are left to Xiaohei, which just reveals a little bit about their Suiren artificial intelligence technology.
"I have an idea for the library's intelligent management system, so I won't worry about it for now. Is there anyone chosen for the library director?"
Xu Li turned to ask another question.
Regarding the recruitment of library management personnel, he still needs to recruit some new people, and the person in charge of the library will recruit experienced personnel from the society for management.
As for other jobs that are responsible for the collection, admission and sorting of book data, students majoring in library management are recruited.
Some colleges and universities have such majors as library management, but graduates of this major are not very good at employment.
Generally, after leaving school, you either work in a bookstore or in a library of a university or public institution.
Bookstores are relatively good, but positions in university libraries generally require a graduate degree, let alone public institutions libraries.
This is considered a job position in the enterprise establishment, and basically requires passing a strict written examination and interview selection.
But there are still people flocking to it, even if they are not majoring in librarianship, even those with PhDs in Chinese and Chinese literature are trying their best to squeeze in.
Because the library of this kind of public institution is a good place for retirement.
It's a bit tedious to manage books and organize files every day, but at least you don't have to work 996 every day, and you have normal weekends and holidays, so you still have a lot of time to fish.
It is simply one of the dream positions for all workers.
"Principal, the librarian received a lot of resumes. We have screened them and there are currently three that are suitable. Do we need to arrange interviews?"
Liu Ying suddenly said.
"Why did someone come to the door so quickly? Well, let's arrange an interview at the school next Wednesday. If they live far away, the school can help them reimburse half of their travel expenses."
After all, people come all the way from other cities for interviews, and the high-speed train, plane, and express train alone cost hundreds of dollars.
If it's a northern city, a few thousand is the minimum cost, which also includes accommodation costs.
He could also understand that for these migrant workers who came out to look for jobs, if they failed in the interview, the thousands of dollars would be gone, and they would have to find a new job and spend money, which was really not easy.
"Okay, I'll reply to them first."
After saying that, Liu Ying walked aside and started to contact her to inform her about the interview. She also sent an email reply to avoid being unable to get through on the phone.
