Computerization of historical records is an inevitable trend. As Hsieh points out, "a computer won't get tired, it's fast, and it has a low rate of error ﹘ advantages in manipulating vast amounts of historical information which the human brain can't match. At the same time, information stored in a computer can be made available to other institutions, accelerating the interflow of knowledge."
「史籍自動化」是必然的發展趨勢，謝清俊指出：「電腦不會疲倦、錯誤率小、速度快，這些優點是人腦在處理龐大的史籍資料時所無法比擬的；同時，電腦儲存的資料庫，還可以開放供其他單位使用，加速學術交流。」
