申論 1英譯中：（25分）Libraries are one of the most enduring features of the academy, central to thevalues and the practice of scholarship. However, in a period of austerity,libraries are increasingly being asked to justify their existence. Perhaps thedeepest, yet most intangible, contribution that libraries make is to provide aphysical manifestation of the scholarly ethos that universities exist to instructand preserve. There is a risk that this intrinsic value may not be recognized byfuture generations of researchers who work in an online world. In building theevidence as to libraries’ contribution to research, it is important to stress thatthe whole is greater than the sum of the parts and that the value of the library isas a crucial cornerstone and representation of the values of the academy and ofscholarship.
