时近2018年岁末，爱如生数字产品又迎来新一轮销售高峰。不久前，天津外国语大学下单，补差价购入爱如生中国基本古籍库本地版。去年，天津外国语大学因经费不足，购买的是中国基本古籍库年费版，今年筹措到经费，就用补足差价的办法，转为永久使用的本地版。天津外国语大学的例子极具示范性。很多单位都希望购入永久使用的本地版，为了筹集经费等候多年。其实数据库的价值在于使用，早用早受益，先用起来才是硬道理。暂时经费不足的中小单位不妨学学天津外国语大学。

Good Year End-Tianjin Foreign Studies University Filled Price Difference to Buy Database of Chinese Classics Ancient Books

Near the end of 2018, Erudition’s digital products ushered in a new sales rush. Not long ago, Tianjin Foreign Studies University filled price difference to buy the local edition of Erudition Database of Chinese Classics Ancient Books. Last year, Tianjin Foreign Studies University purchased the annual service edition of Database of Chinese Classics Ancient Books due to lack of funds. This year, after raising funds, it made up for the price difference to convert it into a permanent local edition. Tianjin Foreign Studies University is exemplary. Many institutions want to buy permanent local editions, waiting for years to raise funds. In fact, the value of the database lies in the use. Earlier use can make earlier benefit. Using first is the top principle. Small and medium-sized enterprises facing temporary shortage of funds may as well learn from Tianjin Foreign Studies University.
