Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Special collections can become the core value of research libraries in the digital environment. Through digitalization, they can effectively support teaching and scientific research and also serve as culture dissemination activities. The connotation, development trend and practical method of the special collections are of great significance. [Method/process] Through literature research, this paper analyzed the connotation of the special collection of the research library; distilled action points in the library strategic planning text; discussed the adaptability and feasibility of the application in the case of National Science Library. [Result/conclusion] In the digitalized environment, special collections not only consist of rare resources, but also contain special resources with particular values. Research libraries in the UK and the US redefine the value of special collections, integrate special collections in the aspects of planning, digitalization, setting, displaying and spreading. It is worth learning from these libraries in the UK and the US to serve people with collaboration, find problems and put forth practical solutions for the cases of special collections.
