在新世纪新阶段,人类社会正在进入一个“学习社会化、社会学习化”的时代。党的十六大明确提出创建“全民学习、终身学习”的学习型社会,学习这一人类的基本行为被赋予了崭新的时代意义。创建学习型图书馆和学习型社会,是经济全球化、信息化和高科技发展的必然要求,也是全面建设小康社会在文化方面的一项重要任务。 In the new phase of the new century, human society is entering an era of “learning socialization and social learning.” The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the creation of a learning society of “universal learning and lifelong learning”. The learning of this basic human behavior has been given a brand new historical significance. Creating a learning library and a learning society is an inevitable requirement of economic globalization, informationization and high-tech development. It is also an important cultural task for building an overall well-to-do society.
