摘要:

人工智能从传统机器学习( ML-AI) 迈向生成式人工智能( GenAI) 的变革正在重塑高校图书馆的服务模式,基于大模型的AI 虚拟馆员已成为智慧图书馆建设的重要突破口。本研究通过调研国内“双一流”高校及国际U. S. News 前100 高校图书馆的在线咨询服务,揭示了国内高校在AI虚拟馆员覆盖面与功能创新方面的突破,以及国际高校图书馆在服务精准性与人工协作模式中的实践经验。结合华东师范大学图书馆的应用探索,本研究创新性地提出了一种面向未来的AI 虚拟馆员设计框架,通过构建问答库、文档库、应用库3 层知识库结构,并融合语义向量化、操作编排、提示词工程和ChatECNU 大语言模型技术,打造智能化、个性化、全天候的精准AI 虚拟馆员。实践结果表明,AI 虚拟馆员不仅显著优化了服务效率和用户体验,还解放了馆员从事重复性工作的时间,为其专注于高价值任务创造了条件,为高校图书馆提供了一种技术创新的可复制范式。未来,AI 虚拟馆员将在多模态交互、智能学术支持及数据隐私保护等领域进一步推动图书馆服务的智能化转型。

Abstract:

The evolution of artificial intelligence AI from traditional machine learning ML-AI togenerative AI GenAI is reshaping the service models of university libraries. AI-powered virtual librarian based on large language models have become an important break through for the development of smart libraries. This study investigates the online reference services of libraries at China’s Double First-Classuniversities and at the top 100 global universities ranked by U. S. News. It reveals breakthroughs in theservice coverage and functional innovation of AI virtual librarians in Chinese universities as well aspractical experiences related to service accuracy and human-AI collaboration models in internationaluniversity libraries. Based on the application exploration of East China Normal University Library thispaper proposes an innovative future-oriented design framework for AI virtual librarian services. Byconstructing a three-layer knowledge base comprising question-answering document and applicationdatabases and integrating semantic vectorization operational orchestration prompt engineering and theChatECNU large language model technology it creates an intelligent personalized and 24 / 7 accurate AIvirtual librarian. Practical results show that the AI virtual librarian not only significantly optimizes serviceefficiency and user experience but also frees librarian from repetitive tasks enabling them to focus onhigher-value activities and fostering innovation in university library services. In the future AI virtuallibrarians will further promote the intelligent transformation of library services in areas such as multimodalinteraction intelligent academic support and data privacy protection.
