摘　　要：我很早就有这样一个疑问,我们大学图书馆用那么多钱买那么几本很少有人问津的英日文进口图书究竟有多大必要?近年书价大幅度上涨,买书经费日益紧张;1989年政府又提出要过几年紧日子。形势要求我们对这个实际问题作出回答。一、英日文进口图书的利用情况我馆1984～1988年以购书经费的59.84%购入占入藏图书册数3.4%的英日文进口图书。为弄清楚这些进口图书的利用情况,From 1984 to 1988,the Library of Jilin Polytechnical University had bought import English andJapanese books which constitutod 3.4 percent of the total book collecting in those years for a sum of59.84 percent of its acquisitions budget.These book were on loan on an average of 0.25 copy/timeand 82 percent of them had never been borrowed.During the corresponding period of those years,88percent of the conference materials,bought for a 43 percent of the total funds for purchasing Englishimports,and the average unit price of them being 33 percent higher than that of ordinary books,hadnever been loaned.The reasons for the low utilization ratio were as follows:24 percent of them hadnothing to do with the specialities and courses offered by the university;33.98 percent of them fell in-to duplicates,and the overestimation of the teachers' demands for professional knowledge and their a-bility in reading foreign documents.At the University,those who had ever borrowed foreign docu-ments accounted for only 18.55 percent of the faculty engagod in teaching and scientific research.During the years of 1984-1988,a sum of 107,000 Chinese yuan had been spent on English andJapanese imports,but 89,800 yuan worth of them had never been used.This shows that the supply ofbooks exceeds the actual demands of them.The fact that being in arrears for years running with thepayment for books of the bookshops also shows that the expenditure exceeds the financial capacity.Ac-cording to both the financial condition of the University and the rdaders' actual demands,it is a wiseand practical way to reduce the funds for imports by a big margin.
