Change of scientific research paradigm initiated by new technologies has affected the development of research libraries as the driving force and technological support. On April 4th, 2021, ARL issued a report "Prospect of Research Libraries——Making use of new technologies in study and research", in which opportunities and challenges for research libraries to meet in the coming 5 years were put forward. Based on deep interpretation of the report, the author suggests that in the context of new technologies, the research libraries in our country should clear the direction and focus, support open science by extending resources, cultivate personnel to supply service for scientific research and construct intelligent developing strategies based on user needs.
