How to make an online library system

1. 1 Determine the design idea and homepage function.

In the network era, the library takes the network as the center rather than the library building, searches rather than collects, the independent use of end users rather than the participation of librarians, and digital resources rather than printed resources. At the same time, compared with before, the service scope of the library has also expanded. It is no longer just readers who enter the library, but also many users who enter the library from the internet and don't meet the library staff, whether inside or outside the school. So how do online users understand and use the library? To a certain extent, the library homepage can just play the role of bridge and communication between the library and online users. Therefore, establishing a homepage on the Internet is not a circle, but to fully display the information resources of the library, facilitate readers to search and use library resources, and collect online resources around teaching and scientific research. It can be said that a good and powerful homepage can extend the business work and service scope of the library most extensively and deeply. Generally speaking, the homepage should have the functions of publicity, information inquiry, information service and business processing. Specific to the university library, its home page should include the following modules:

(1) Basic information: including the development history and collection of the library; Library organization; Service content and working time arrangement, rules and regulations; Library building plan, etc.

(2) Information services: including bibliographic information retrieval and periodical information retrieval; CD-ROM information retrieval and electronic publication retrieval; Information retrieval for readers of our school, etc.

(3) Network navigation: including domestic university libraries and foreign university libraries; Other popular information websites in the region or China; Foreign popular information websites and so on.

(4) Other functions: including bulletin board system; New book bulletin; The latest development; Troubleshooting; Online book subscription, renewal, etc.

1.2 collecting data and designing web page structure

According to the basic function of the homepage, the existing resources of the library are collected and sorted out, and the selection of relevant materials is decided according to the main function of the homepage. At the same time, we should also prepare some materials for making pages, such as pictures, animations, sounds, buttons and so on. These materials can be obtained from the internet, or you can buy CDs of web pages, and some of them can be made by yourself. After determining the design goal of the home page and preparing relevant materials, we must formulate the basic structure of the home page. For example, the home page of a library should be divided into several layers, what is the content of the home page, what is the content of the next page, where to insert images and sounds, and so on. It should be planned in advance.

2. 1 Positioning of Web pages

The positioning of web pages is not only the basis of the whole web page design, but also the ultimate goal and overall guiding principle of web page design. Once the corresponding goal is determined, all subsequent work will be carried out around this center. The key to the web page construction of university library lies in understanding the user groups and needs, fully embodying the collection and various media materials, and providing more convenient services not only for teaching and scientific research, but also for the development of regional economy, culture and science and technology.

2.2 Choose a web page production tool

Making a web page can be divided into four steps: making a page; Making images in web pages; Add dynamic effects and interactive animations to make the webpage more moving; Optimize and compress web pages and pictures to speed up the transmission of web pages. At present, the tools for the above steps are FrontPage, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, Flash and so on. , can be selected according to the purpose of the web page, making the web page novel, rich in content and attractive.

2.3 Internet browsing

When the page editing is basically completed, we can send the page to the local website for preview, then modify it, and then send it to the web server of our library for online users.

2.4 Web publishing

The webpage has not been completed yet, and it needs to be registered and published in some search engines. More users can visit it by purchasing the search rankings of some keywords in the search engines.

2.5 Develop and plan the system and network requirements of the homepage.

The system and network requirements of the homepage first depend on the forecast of the expected use and growth of the website; Secondly, we should also make scientific and reasonable arrangements according to the actual situation of our school. Considering the functional reliability and security of the Web server, the Web server should have enough memory and fast processing ability. It is recommended to configure two servers, one dedicated to access and the other for backup and distribution of network load.

2.6 develop and improve the website security mechanism

The library web page is an open information base, which provides opportunities for hackers, virus infections, user infringement and pranks. Therefore, we must formulate and improve the security mechanism of web pages. According to the security level of web pages, we can take various security measures, such as firewall, encryption, port protection and so on.

3 home page construction should pay attention to the problem

3. 1 elegant and unpretentious.

The homepage of a library is not equivalent to a general commercial website, which is too complicated, lively and unusual, nor is it equivalent to a general academic website, which is too serious. It must be academic, an extension of library services, a garden of academic contention, artistic and a second classroom for readers. Therefore, when designing a page, on the one hand, it requires reasonable structure and convenient navigation; On the other hand, it requires harmonious colors, and the pictures on the web page are closely consistent with the content, seamless and have certain characteristics. At the same time, we can use a template to create a unified style page.

3.2 Web page links

In order to facilitate users to browse, there should not be too many vertical links in the web page, and a tree structure is generally adopted, and the depth of the structure is limited to 3 ~ 5 levels. It is best to design important information or the latest information directly on the home page and update it frequently to increase its appeal.

3.3 clear content and object

Before creating a new web page, you should first consider the content of the website, carefully consider the organization of the content of the website, including the functions of the website and what your users need, and your whole design should revolve around these aspects. The writing of the content should be concise, organized, clear and easy to understand, so as to avoid misunderstanding. Try to avoid using technical terms, and if necessary, it is best to provide corresponding comments. The language should be vivid, friendly and respectful to users, not blunt.

3.4 Establish a popular website of this major.

In addition to the data resources of our library, we can also use other people's resources on the Internet to set up popular websites closely related to our major in the webpage, so as to provide more convenient services for readers coming to the library. It's best to systematically set up the webpage navigation of key majors in our school, form a distinctive information service, and make our website a hot spot of readers' attention.

3.5 The website of university library should highlight the characteristics of the university.

As the electronic window of university library, web pages should highlight the characteristics of the library on the premise of maintaining consistency. In the column settings, you can add some personalized columns. For example, in the "Library Information Introduction" section, columns such as current curator, librarian style, library style, library memorabilia, and post responsibilities are added. , not only can show users rich and colorful styles, let users know about some major events in the library, but also can openly accept the supervision of users on the work of various posts in the library.

3.6 Web pages should be bilingual.

As a university library, it is essential to strive for first-class, and international exchange is one of the means to recommend to foreign countries. In addition to the items listed in the Chinese version, the English version of the website should be improved according to the habits of foreigners, so as to attract many foreign readers and users with enough attraction and make the library occupy a place on the international library stage.

3.7 Use of pictures and other materials

Proper use of pictures, sounds and other materials can make the homepage look lively, play the role of finishing touch, and attract readers' attention in many web pages. However, the use of the picture must closely cooperate with the content to form a unified feeling; At the same time, you can't use too many pictures, otherwise it will not only make the web page look messy, but also affect the download speed of the web page (the size of the image file should be controlled below 50kb).

3.8 Update the contents of the homepage frequently.

The completion of a homepage design does not mean that everything is fine, but the beginning of homepage update and maintenance. Home page update includes home page layout update and home page content update. Obsolete homepages and outdated information will disgust visitors and make the library lose a large number of readers and users, especially the changes of the library's own information and literature information should be updated at any time.

3.9 Web browsing compatibility should be considered.

At present, there are many kinds of Web browsers with different characteristics and performances. Therefore, the user's browser type should be considered when making web pages. Some advanced technologies, such as sound, video playback, virtual reality, etc. You should consider whether they can be implemented in a common browser, otherwise no matter how well you do it, others will not like it. In addition, the same web page may be viewed in different versions of browsers, and the results may be quite different. Generally speaking, the high version and the low version are compatible. Therefore, we can add the words "users are advised to browse in XX or above, XX browser and XX display mode" to the webpage. How was it solved later? I have the same problem as you. . .
