Network Resource Sharing

       The rapid development of modern information technology has greatly improved the ability of human stored knowledge and the propagation velocity of information. The globalization of the network make use of the information that is no longer subject to time and space constraints, network users can access internet anytime to various information systems, and this is the most efficient and convenient way to obtain the required information.

       Internet as a one of the most fast carrier to transport information and resources in modern society, it makes our life more convenient and give us more knowledge. Thus, the progress of human society requires the convenient features of internet; human knowledge can be more quickly and appropriately improved only when accumulated more idea. [No library today can be expected to directly hold all of the resources to fulfill all the needs of its users. Rather, most libraries supplement their local collections through resource-sharing arrangements that allow them to offer their clientele access to a broader universe of materials.] (Breeding Marshal) According to Breeding Marshal said, I believe internet plays an important role in support of resource sharing, even library uses internet as a effective way to sharing and offer people articles and knowledge.

       I can understand some of the people said there are some harmful sides of sharing articles and information on the internet. Some people thought although the information technology is rapid developing, so that we can save much more time for put those information and articles online, digital technology also makes it easier to share the information. However, human knowledge is created in different languages, different history background, different publication types and different carriers, so online literature information resource is not standardized yet, that makes online information very complex, and making them very difficult to be used in a effective way. Also internet is an open system, everyone can share information on the internet, and any individuals and groups cannot interfere in other people's online behavior. Then cause information uncontrolled and disordered, making information on the Internet very massive, this characteristics of the Internet itself causing information pollution.

       However, we all have to admit that internet changes the way our society works. One of the most strongest thesis is that in the last few years is information sharing on the internet. In a very short period of time, Facebook, Wikipedia, Twitter and YouTube have all become a part of modern life, while people are sharing everything on the internet or on their personal websites. Moreover, users do not need any software, without any advanced technical training, people can choose to add a huge variety of space and upload their own observations and knowledge.

       We can't deny that sharing and getting information on the internet have become a big part of our life. Then what we need to do is that try our best to keep the internet environment clean, because we need to look at the whole picture, not just its parts. Secondly, we need to share information better. I think the internet environment will be better if most of the netizen are responsible for the information they shared. Internet engineering can help resolve many of the system problems, but not those information shared by the netizen all over the world. The thing we can do is to be responsible to the works we did or the things we shared on the internet.

       In conclusion, I personally learnt a lot of things through rational use of network. I can't imagine if there is no such a rapid and convenient place which contains all the excellent resources that can truly reflect their own values​​. At the same time, I believe this problem may make a lot of people that very sensitive and may still be the focus of peoples talking, those opinions listed below are just me as an ordinary netizen to express my personal views.
