Introduction

Background of Standard Revision and Technological Evolution

As a cultural industry standard, WH/T70.2-2020 replaces the original three independent standards of the 2015 version, realizing the systematic integration of provincial, municipal and county library evaluation indicators. This revision focuses on strengthening:

Indicator system reconstruction: merging the original provincial, municipal and county independent standards to establish a hierarchical application mechanism
Quantitative standard optimization: canceling vague grade descriptions such as "good" and "basic" to enhance operability
Enhanced correlation: adding corresponding instructions between indicators, such as A.4.5.3 The data of certified readers must be linked with A.4.6.4

Comparison of core evaluation dimensions

Evaluation dimensions	Provincial library focus	Municipal library characteristics	Common requirements
Facilities and equipment	Storage capacity ≥ 50TB, intelligent management	100 electronic terminals	Full wireless network coverage, barrier-free facilities
Document resources	Foreign documents ≥100,000 volumes, digital resource purchase costs ≥40%	Local document collections	Annual increase per capita ≥0.06 volumes
Reader services	Legislative decision-making services, cross-provincial collaboration	Annual activities ≥120 events	Weekly opening ≥56 hours

Key indicators for implementation

Document resource construction (A.3)

Provincial libraries need to focus on the following:

Local storage of digital resources (A.3.5.1): Self-built special databases should account for more than 30% of the total
Document deposit rate (A.3.2.5): Ensure that the deposit rate of publications in the province is ≥90% through administrative coordination

Reader service innovation (A.4)

Typical cases of municipal libraries:

New media services (A.4.13.3): WeChat service accounts should have full functions of reservation, renewal, and event registration
Services for special groups (A.4.12): Visually impaired reading rooms should be equipped with Braille readers, screen reading software and other auxiliary equipment

Evaluation implementation suggestions

Data collection specifications

Note:

The statistics of readers with ID cards (A.4.5.3) include users with multiple ID cards such as ID cards and social security cards
The document circulation (A.4.6.1) needs to exclude interlibrary transfer data
