Abstract:

The author demonstrates the necessity of studying the value of library based on the theory of value and the theory of ontology. Drawing upon the definition of values and purpose of value studies, as well as the current research on library value, the author comes to the conclusion that the value of library resides in high-quality and complete literature holding, services that promote the use of the holdings, and free-of-charge public goods.
