A study on the activation of classics department management

Some problems with the definition, collection, organization, management and use of classics and some solutions for these aspects are presented in this study, in terms of the activation of classics department management. While trying to put these solutions together and to make some basic remedies, we lead to the following facts. First, the understanding on classics should be changed. The ideas that classics are very valuable, so they are only for preservation should be turned to that of making them actively used by the users. And policies as a result of positive interests should be established. Secondly, a written collection development policy statement should be maintained. All the regulations and policies on collection, organization, management and use of classics have to be expressed clearly in this document, in order for the positive and consistent activation of classics department. Thirdly, professional librarians who deal with classics are needed. In order for providing classics service efficiently, first of all, professional librarians who have professional knowledges on classics and are able to provide satisfactory services to their users are needed. And, Financial su n.0, pport for the classics department should be improved. At present, there are few financial su n.0, pports for the classics department in the common libraries. In this situation, it is very hard to activate the use of classics.
