[03:38.70]How to use a library? What is a library?
[03:45.33]A library is a place to find information and do research,
[03:50.66]a place for lifelong learning.
[03:54.92]Most libraries,whether private or public ones,are homes to an abundance of books,
[04:02.47]plus many other valuable resources.
[04:07.01]In addition to printed materials,
[04:11.45]libraries can often offer audiotapes and videocassettes,
[04:17.20]as well as computers and e-resources.
[04:22.19]Many libraries also sponsor special programs,including children's story hours,
[04:30.13]summer reading programs,homework help and diverse seminars.
[04:37.19]As a newcomer to the library,
[04:41.31]you might have some difficulties in finding the right book and borrowing it.
[04:47.48]The following steps will tell you how to use a library.
[04:52.62]Finding and borrowing the right book:
[04:57.20]1.Apply for a borrower's Card and become a memeber.
[05:03.44]2.If you know which book you want,have your book title or author's name ready.
[05:11.09]3.Use indexes.
[05:16.55]4.Find the book or books in the library catalogue.
[05:23.11]5.Present your card and the book or books to the librarian.
[05:30.37]If you want to do some research,you can also use the WWW resources.
[05:38.52]If necessary,you can make some photocopies.
[05:43.56]If you can't find certain information or if you are confused with what to do,
[05:50.62]ask a librarian for help.
[05:54.87]Although libraries welcome readers and may have special facilities for them,
[06:01.74]there are some guidelines for behaviour which readers are supposed to observe:
[06:08.09]1.Library books are everybody's property and should be treated carefully.
[06:15.85]2.Be sure to find out the library's policies regarding loan periods
[06:23.61]and fines for overdue books.
[06:27.97]Many people believe that a library is a door
[06:33.74]into which you are led to gain an understanding of science,nature and people.
[06:40.88]4.Listen and practice in pairs.
