(National Geological Archives Beijing 100037)
In recent years, the National Geological Archives has intensified its service propaganda, innovated its service methods, actively served key projects to expand domestic demand, and achieved remarkable results in geological data service. In 2009, the National Geological Archives was rated as the key unit of "Double Protection Action" by the Ministry of Land and Resources. In order to further grasp the users' needs and improve the service quality, this paper makes a statistical analysis on the lending service of the National Geological Archives in 2009.
1 window to receive borrowers
In 2009, the National Pavilion received 266 units 3 166 times to borrow geological data, with an average of 1 1.9 times per unit. See table 1 for the top 20 borrowers. As can be seen from the table 1, 20 units borrowed 20 18 times, accounting for 63.7% of the total number of borrowers in the whole year, indicating that the borrower units are relatively concentrated. Of the 20 units, 15 are located in Beijing, mainly geological prospecting systems, universities and scientific research units.

2 window borrowing geological data
In 2009, users borrowed 13080 kinds of geological data, with 347 copies16, with an average of 2.65 times for each kind of data.
2. 1 data borrowing times
See Table 5 for statistics of borrowing times of geological data.
Table 5 Statistics on the Number of Borrowers of Geological Data
Of the 344 kinds of materials borrowed more than 10, 242 are regional geological and mineral survey reports of1:200,000, which shows that these materials are the most used geological materials in the collection of the National Library. Table 6 is the geological data catalogue of more than 20 borrowers.

2.2 Distribution of geological data in the lending window.
The geological data borrowed in 2009 are distributed in all provinces (cities, districts) except Hong Kong and Macao, as shown in Table 7. Among them, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has the largest number, 197 1 species, with 4669 copies borrowed. Followed by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with 1505 species and 4,480 borrowed materials, accounting for more than 10% of the whole country.

2.3 Types of borrowing materials
The materials borrowed in 2009 include regional mineral survey, regional geological survey, mineral exploration, scientific research and so on 14 (Table 8), with regional geological and mineral survey, mineral exploration, geophysical and geochemical exploration and remote sensing exploration and geological scientific research as the main materials. The above four types of materials account for 87.59% of the lent materials and 86.99% of the lent materials. The most borrowed materials are mineral exploration, ***5697 kinds, accounting for 43.56% of the total; The most frequently borrowed books are regional geological and mineral surveys, with *** 12 189 volumes, accounting for 35. 1 1% of the total. Other materials such as databases, technical methods, information engineering/technology, standards and specifications, applied research, soft science research and so on are borrowed in small quantities.
Table 8 Statistics of Geological Data Borrowed in 2009
sequential
According to the scale statistics, the data of regional geological and mineral survey are mainly1:200,000 geological and mineral survey reports, and 6,982 data have been borrowed and used * * *1/kloc-0. Followed by 1: 50000 geological and mineral survey report, * * There are 1435 kinds of 3774 data available (Figure 1). The analysis shows that there is a strong demand for large and medium-scale geological data in society, while the collection of1:50,000 and1:250,000 geological data is small and unevenly distributed in space. In addition, railway, highway and other construction units prefer to see the geological data of 1: 1 000 or even larger scale, but because the regional geological survey of 1: 1 000 or larger scale has not been carried out, there is no such data. All these have affected the borrowing and use of materials.
Figure 1 Borrowing and Utilization of Regional Geological and Mineral Survey Data
5697 kinds of mineral exploration data have been borrowed, 1 1463 volumes. From the perspective of exploration degree, census data accounts for the largest proportion, with 2085 kinds of data borrowed and used, accounting for 38% of mineral exploration data; The data of pre-survey, exploration and detailed survey are 18%, 17% and 15% respectively, as shown in Figure 2. From the statistics of mineral types, the exploration data of energy minerals and non-ferrous metal minerals account for a relatively large proportion (Figure 3).
2.4 Data formation time and borrowing volume
Figure 4 is the statistical table of formation time of borrowed geological data in 2009. As can be seen from the figure, the borrowing amount and times of data formed in the 1980s are the largest, and this distribution is related to the fact that most of the borrowed data are related to the regional geological and mineral survey data, because most of these data were formed in the 1970s and 1980s.

Three Problems in Library Lending Service
3. 1 The collection service resources are insufficient.
In 2004 and 2007, the National Geological Archives conducted a survey on users' demand and service satisfaction. Through investigation and study, it is found that the problem of library service resources is the most prominent problem reflected by users. There are few new materials in the collection, and many geological materials are not submitted in time or not, which leads to the situation that the collection institutions have no rice in the service process.
In recent years, the untimely submission of geological data is the main reason for the insufficient accumulation of library service resources. Taking oil and gas as an example, there were 3,727 mining licenses and exploration licenses due at the end of 2008, but so far, the National Pavilion has only received 345 mining licenses and 208 exploration licenses, and the remittance rate is only 15%.
In addition, the insufficient accumulation of library digital service resources has also affected the development of future service work to some extent. For example, the construction of the graphic database of geological data, which has been carried out in the National Pavilion for many years, has made slow progress. By the end of 2009, only 40,000 species had been completed, accounting for about 40% of all collected materials. It is this 40% digital geological data that makes the copy service volume in 2009 three times that of all paper data. At present, the database of1:50,000 digital geological maps urgently needed by the society has only completed 2,000. The construction of1:250,000 geological map database has just started, and the large-scale ground geophysical and geochemical remote sensing database urgently needed by the mining industry has not yet started.
3.2 Geological data service propaganda is not enough.
Geological data are widely used in all aspects of national economic construction and social development, such as earth science research, mineral resources development, national defense construction, major infrastructure construction, urban and rural construction, environmental protection, disaster prevention and mitigation, etc. There is a strong demand for basic geological data in all walks of life. However, due to the insufficient publicity of geological data service, most of the current service targets are professional and technical personnel, and the field of socialized service needs to be explored.
In recent years, the National Geological Archives went to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang and other provinces to conduct demand research. According to the survey, although the National Geological Archives has held many training courses and user consultation meetings, and widely publicized the geological data service, many grassroots geological prospecting units still don't know much about the current geological data service policy, and many people still think it is necessary to find a relationship to borrow data. Guangdong Province and Hebei Province have been borrowing a lot of books from the National Geological Archives in recent two years, which may be because the National Geological Archives has achieved results in promoting and serving these grassroots geological prospecting units when carrying out other projects.
3.3 Insufficient service personnel and service products.
At present, there is a general shortage of personnel in the national geological archives, which makes it difficult to cope with daily work and develop more service products. Therefore, most of our current services are "original" services, and we provide readers with whatever we receive from the remitter. Without the development, utilization and deep processing of geological data, it is impossible to form a series of service products that meet different needs.
China Geological Survey said in its investigation report on the German drilling database that there are about 30 data service personnel in the Geological Survey of Lower Saxony, Germany, including about 8 drilling database processing service personnel. However, the National Geological Archives is short of 10 kinds of geological data and various databases to serve the outside world 1 10000 people, which shows the gap between China and foreign countries in terms of personnel investment in geological data services.
Four suggestions
4. 1 Strengthen the accumulation of geological data service resources
The continuous accumulation and renewal of geological data service resources is the foundation and key link of geological data service. Therefore, the competent department of geological data should first strengthen the collection of geological data, establish an effective supervision and management mechanism, and ensure that geological data are submitted to the collection institutions in time and provided to the society in time; Second, we should speed up the digitization of library materials; The third is to speed up the cleaning of physical objects and original geological data, complete the construction of the catalogue database of physical objects and original geological data as soon as possible, realize the accumulation of geological data service resources and provide services to the society.
4.2 Strengthen the propaganda work of geological data service.
The National Geological Archives should strengthen the propaganda of geological data service, so that readers can fully understand what the National Archives has. At the same time, it is necessary to vigorously publicize the service contents of the National Geological Archives for foreign readers, including consulting, processing and mailing on behalf of foreign readers, so that foreign readers can conveniently use the materials of the National Geological Archives in different places and save manpower and material resources for them.
4.3 Increase personnel input and develop service products.
At present, the National Geological Archives urgently needs to strengthen the construction of personnel, carry out in-depth research on geological data requirements, widely understand social needs, strengthen the development and utilization of geological data, especially develop publicly available service products to meet the needs of all sectors of society.
