Abstract: The outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan from the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020 has become a major national public health security emergency. The emergence of emergency response capabilities in the event of an incident has brought challenges to the decision-making information security and emergency services and management of various libraries in major public safety emergencies. Where is the library in the decision-making information security mechanism? How to provide public safety information protection? In the emergency service and management mechanism, what kind of role should the library play, and what mechanism? How should libraries do emergency services? What experience does the international library community have and how to establish a library emergency service system suitable for China? These issues, etc., urgently need to use the current major public health security incidents to cause colleagues in the library community to think deeply, reflect, summarize and research. To this end, "Library Magazine" specially planned to launch the topic "Library Emergency Services in Major Public Safety Emergencies". On the one hand, it invited leaders and experts and scholars from related fields and academic circles at home and abroad to provide written comments on this topic. Or suggest that related feature articles be published one after another, causing colleagues in the industry to think and discuss about providing emergency theoretical support, method countermeasures, and solutions to this and future responses to major public safety emergencies.
