"Today, you graduated, and you took away with you the entire Southwest University of Political Science and Law digital library that is updated in real time, can be logged in at any time, and is free for life. I have a special obligation to solemnly remind everyone to remember their student IDs and login passwords, and save them for good use. "This is the most thoughtful, precious, long-lasting and lasting gift from Southwest University of Political Science and Law." This is what Wang Yuyu, the university teacher representative and professor of the School of Economics and Law, said at the graduation ceremony of the 2022 students of Southwest University of Political Science and Law.
Right now, it is the time for domestic colleges and universities to hold graduation ceremonies, and it is also a critical period for colleges and universities to recruit new students. For colleges and universities, if a graduation ceremony is held that is exciting, unique, and attracts widespread attention, it will not only impress the fresh graduates and make them unforgettable for life, but also serve as a reference for college entrance examination candidates to choose colleges when filling out their applications. Function, in other words, this is also a recruitment advertisement. Therefore, it has become hot news that some colleges and universities have new tricks at graduation ceremonies.
Recently, at the Peking University graduation ceremony, graduate representative Zhou Hong gave an emotional speech: So what if you are ordinary throughout your life? As long as you have a heart that is not afraid of the ordinary, you can still become the protagonist of the story; at the graduation ceremony of Suzhou University , more than 10,000 graduates took the last major ideological and political class online and offline, which also attracted public attention; Huazhong University of Science and Technology At the graduation ceremony of , the red flag was flying and the lights were shining. The students sang " I love you China " in unison, which was moving.
Compared with the "on-site features" of many university graduation ceremonies, Southwest University of Political Science and Law has a different performance: gifting digital library resources to graduates. As long as graduates remember their student IDs and login passwords, they can enjoy “real-time updates, anytime login, and lifetime free access to the entire Southwest University of Political Science and Law digital library.” For the graduates, they not only participated in a unique graduation ceremony, but also received a special gift. This seems more valuable than any gift.
Colleges and universities are generally known as the palaces of knowledge, and university libraries are even more palaces among palaces of knowledge. They are extremely rich in quantity and quality of books and literature, making them the favorite place for students to "soak". Recently, at the graduation ceremony of Xi'an University of Technology, a boy was included in the graduation speech by the principal because he entered the library to study a lot (732 times in 2021 alone), which attracted public attention. It can be seen that university libraries are very magnetic places.
Southwest University of Political Science and Law gives digital library resources to students as graduation gifts. This move provides convenience for graduates of our school to read digital books or consult relevant materials at any time throughout their lives. This is not only the result of the digital construction of university libraries in recent years, but also reflects the extreme generosity and intelligence of Southwest University of Political Science and Law. This "generousness" is compared to other colleges and universities, while the "smartness" is reflected in the hard-core admissions advertisement, which is more attractive to college entrance examination candidates.
As early as 20 years ago, domestic universities began to get involved in digital libraries. In 2005, "China Higher Education Documentation Guarantee System—China Higher Education Digital Library" became one of the three major public service systems of the "211" project. At present, digital libraries cover probably all universities in my country. In this context, every university can actually use university digital library resources as a graduation gift, like Southwest University of Political Science and Law, for lifelong free enjoyment by its graduates.
Public knowledge resources such as digital libraries can only produce more and far-reaching meanings if they are widely shared and shared for a long time. For the majority of graduates of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, it is a blessing to be able to continue to enjoy the library resources of their alma mater for free after graduation. This move demonstrates the courage and warmth of universities to extend public services such as digital libraries from on-campus to off-campus, and expand service targets from current students to graduates. It is also of exemplary significance.
