内容总结：

微软公司近日宣布，其位于雷德蒙德、海得拉巴、北京和都柏林的传统图书馆已正式关闭，并将改造为支持团队协作学习与实验的新型空间。这一举措标志着该公司将逐步以"现代化、人工智能驱动的学习体验"取代传统图书馆服务模式。

据内部文件显示，微软将把原有图书馆转型为"技能提升中心"，为员工探索新兴技术提供支持。公司发言人称，此举旨在优化员工学习方式，帮助员工掌握前沿技能。改造工程已启动，预计未来数周内全面完成。

伴随此次转型，微软同时削减了部分报刊及行业报告订阅服务，包括已订阅二十余年的《信息报》和《战略新闻服务》。公司表示将保留二十余种数字资源，优先保障员工最需要的核心内容。

微软图书馆自创立以来，曾收藏大量技术书籍，前Windows总裁史蒂文·辛诺夫斯基在社交媒体追忆其为"早期皇冠上的明珠"。对于此次转型，《战略新闻服务》运营负责人提出不同看法，认为人工智能技术无法替代人类对创新趋势的洞察。

此次改造计划体现了科技企业在人工智能浪潮下对传统知识获取方式的重新定义。

在微软雷德蒙德园区，那座图书馆长久以来都是高科技园区中一处安静的"时代错位"——作家们曾在此演讲，员工们曾在此借阅传统的纸质书籍，其中甚至包括CEO萨提亚·纳德拉等高管推荐的读物。如今，这段历史篇章即将画上句号。

科技媒体The Verge周四披露，微软这座传统图书馆即将消失。微软内部将其描述为向"现代化人工智能学习体验"转型的一部分。该公司向GeekWire证实，位于雷德蒙德、海得拉巴、北京和都柏林的图书馆已于本周关闭，"正在被改造为支持团队学习与实验的协作空间"，员工可在此探索新兴技术。

微软发言人通过邮件表示："我们正在升级微软图书馆的场所与服务，以更好地支持员工学习新知、掌握动态、培养技能。"公司称转型已启动，未来数周将全面推行。根据The Verge获得的内部问答文件，微软将新方案称为"技能中心"，并承认该决定"影响了许多人珍视的空间"。

此次转型还包括削减员工订阅的报纸与行业报告。《信息报》和《战略新闻服务》等持续二十余年为微软员工提供全球资讯的刊物均在调整之列。微软表示仍将提供超过20种数字资源与订阅服务，"优先保留对员工最具价值的资源"。

对于微软以人工智能为导向的决策逻辑，《战略新闻服务》直言不讳。其首席运营官贝里特·安德森向The Verge指出："技术的未来由权力、资本、创新与人力的流动塑造——这些都无法通过大语言模型对旧信息的概率性复述来预测。"

这座图书馆数十年间几经搬迁，从最初的4号楼辗转至最近的92号楼。闭馆消息引发了前Windows部门总裁史蒂文·辛诺夫斯基的怀旧之情，他在X平台上感慨图书馆是"早期皇冠上的明珠"，并回忆道："他们采购了所有个人电脑书籍和每款软件的双份拷贝。如果你发现所需书籍馆内没有，他们就会立即添置。"

The Microsoft Library in Redmond has long been a quiet anachronism in the middle of the high-tech campus, a place where authors gave talks and employees checked out old-fashioned paper books, including titles recommended by CEO Satya Nadella and other execs.
That chapter of the company’s history is now closing.
The Verge broke the news Thursday that Microsoft’s traditional library is going away as part of what Microsoft described internally as a shift to a “modern, AI-powered learning experience.”
Responding to an inquiry from GeekWire, the company confirmed that its libraries in Redmond, Hyderabad, Beijing, and Dublin closed as of this week and “are being repurposed into collaborative spaces for group learning and experimentation,” where employees can explore emerging technologies.
“We’re evolving Microsoft Library locations and services to better support how employees learn, stay current, and build new skills,” a Microsoft spokesperson said via email. The changes are already underway and will roll out fully in the coming weeks, according to the company.
In an internal FAQ obtained by The Verge, Microsoft described the new approach as a “Skilling Hub” and acknowledged that the decision “affects a space many people valued.”
The shift also includes cuts to employee subscriptions for newspapers and industry reports. Publications affected include The Information and Strategic News Service, which had provided global reports to Microsoft employees for more than two decades.
Microsoft said it continues to offer access to more than 20 digital resources and subscriptions, “prioritizing those most valuable to employees.”
Strategic News Service didn’t mince words about Microsoft’s AI-focused rationale.
“Technology’s future is shaped by flows of power, money, innovation, and people — none of which are predictable based on LLMs’ probabilistic regurgitation of old information,” Berit Anderson, the company’s chief operating officer, told The Verge.
The library has moved around over the decades, from the original Building 4 to Building 92 most recently. The news of the closure drew a nostalgic response on X from Steven Sinofsky, the former Windows president, who called the library “a crown jewel of the early days.”
“They bought every PC book and two copies of every software,” Sinofsky wrote. “If you found one you needed that they didn’t have, they acquired it.”
