Multisource Crossmodal Knowledge Service in Libraries: Connotation, Models and Development Pathways
Zhang Jinao, Lu Xinyuan, Guo Yiruo, Cai Xingxing
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 4-14.
The application of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has expanded the scenarios of library knowledge services, while the circulation of data elements has enriched their content. Exploring the synergistic enpowerment of these two forces to enable multisource and crossmodal knowledge service in libraries is of great significance for the paradigm transformation of library knowledge services. Starting from the three core elements of library knowledge service, actors, content, and scenarios, this paper attempts to explore the connotation, models and development pathways of multisource and crossmodal knowledge service in libraries. The findgings indicate that actor collaboration, content digitalintelligent transformation, and scenario personalization are the important connotations, whereas artificial intelligence and data elements are the underlying logic of such service. Multiagent collaboration, multisource datadriven mechanism and multiscenario application form its primary structure. In addition, humanintelligence task division, element circulation and digitalintelligence integration are important pathways to promote the development of multisource and crossmodal knowledge services in libraries. This study is conducive to optimizing the application of AI in library, improving the service level of multisource and crossmodal knowledge services, and providing valuable reference for future research.

Research on the Construction of a Semantic Description Framework for Scientific Document Images Oriented toward AI4Science
Zhang Yiqin, Deng Sanhong, Gong Hongcun, Yang Jie, Liu Liu
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 15-26.
The semantic description and annotation of scientific document images are essential for enhancing knowledge mining and intelligent information management of academic literature. Based on metadata structures and information requirements of academic images, this paper proposes a multilevel semantic description framework for scientific paper images (SDFSLI), aimed at achieving precise semantic parsing of scientific document image content in the context of AI4Science. The framework analyzes scientific document images through four interconnected layers—basic identification layer, content layer, semantic layer, and relationship layer—which examine basic information, visual content, semantic connotation, and hierarchical relationships. This research also establishes a comprehensive ontology model that systematically maps semantic relationships between these framework layers, utilizing multimodal large language models for implementation. Through empirical case studies in library and information science literature, the framework demonstrates its practicality and effectiveness. The paper further discusses key challenges and future opportunities in semantic description of scientific paper images, offering insights into the intelligent development of scientific knowledge management.

Evaluation Study of Academic Search Platforms Based on Generative Artificial Intelligence
Cui Yuhong, Zhao Jintao, Zhang Huan
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 27-36.
The study explores the integration trend of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology and academic search, and comprehensively evaluates the performance of emerging academic search platforms in practical applications, aiming to provide a new pathway for transformation in the field of information retrieval. Four GenAIpowered academic search platforms, Scopus AI, WoS Research Assistant, SciSpace, and Elicit, are selected to construct the evaluation index system on the dimensions of content generation and retrieval generation. The study reveals their differences in terms of literature coverage, generation accuracy and user experience, and further tests the balance between citation recall and precision rate of GenAI. It is found that the four GenAI academic search platforms are smooth and informative in response, but the coverage and precision of the generated content supported by citations need to be further improved. In comparison, Scopus AI performs relatively better in literature coverage, while WoS Research Assistant stands out in terms of precision rate. SciSpace achieves a more balanced performance in crossdisciplinary adaptability, whereas Elicit shows an overall balanced but slightly weaker performance. Although the fluency of these platforms is high, the problem of “information hallucination” still exists, and the accuracy and reliability of the generated content need to be further improved in the future.

A Comparative Study of AIGenerated and ScholarWritten Academic Literature from Multiple Models and Perspectives
Zhang Qiang, Gao Ying, Xin Zhulin, Ren Doudou, Zhou Hong
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 37-47.
This study compares and analyzes the content of archival journal articles generated by AI with those written by scholars, delving into the potential of AI technology in academic writing and its relative advantages and limitations compared to humanauthored works. The research selected 100 highly cited papers from core journals in the field of archival studies over the past three years. The abstracts, introductions, and conclusions were extracted, and corresponding abstracts were generated using six large language models. A systematic analysis was conducted across multiple dimensions, including semantic similarity, topic modeling, classification detection, ROUGE evaluation, and academic publication detection. The results indicate that the abstracts generated by the six models exhibit a high degree of similarity to those written by scholars, with Tongyi Qianwen particularly excelling in topic refinement, producing content that closely aligns with the professional depth of scholars. In terms of classification detection, the Random Forest (RF) and XGBoost models demonstrated outstanding performance. ROUGE evaluation results show that the quality of abstracts generated by large models has reached or even surpassed traditional algorithm levels, with Wenxin Yiyan 4.0 performing especially well. In academic plagiarism detection tests, both GPT4.0 and Tongyi Qianwen met the standards. Tongyi Qianwen shows an extremely low proportion of suspected AIgenerated content in the CNKI AIGC detection. Based on these findings, this study recommends that academic publishing platforms further adapt to the development of new text generation technologies, refine AIGC detection standards, enhance crossplatform collaboration and data sharing, and pay special attention to the detection challenges posed by the Tongyi Qianwen model.

Path Analysis, Model Construction, and Optimization Strategy for Multimodal AIEnabled Immersive Reading Spaces: From the Perspective of Embodied Cognition Theory
Cai Wenjie, Wang Chenmin
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 54-62.
AI driven digital transformation of public cultural services is transitioning from technological empowerment to cognitiondriven paradigms. However, immersive experiences still face challenges such as insufficient interaction depth and limited cognitive effectiveness. Based on embodied cognition theory, this study examines the embedding mechanisms of multimodal AI in immersive reading spaces and the reconstruction of cognitive pathways, constructing a fiveelement analytical framework of “perceptual input—bodily engagement—contextual coupling—behavioral cognition—meaning generation”. Through case studies of three representative projects at the Shanghai Library East—Marco Polos Journey of Wonders, Encountering Su Dongpo, and The Future of the Future—it distills three embodied cognition models: sensorydriven, behaviordriven, and semanticnesting models. On this basis, it proposes optimization strategies including: constructing a multimodal synesthetic synergy mechanism, deepening natural interaction and behaviordriven narratives, advancing the spatial embedding of cultural semantics, establishing a knowledge cocreation and feedback loop, and connecting individual experiences with collective cultural identity. These strategies aim to facilitate a transformation of public cultural services from technology demonstration to deep cognitive activation, providing theoretical support and methodological references for the practice of public cultural spaces.

Chen Zeqian, Kong Mengwen, Zhang Haiyan
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 82-93.
In the context of culturaltourism integration, cultural walking tours in public libraries, by integrating reading with tourism experiences, have emerged as an innovative approach of reading promotion. This study takes provinciallevel public libraries as the research sample and, through online surveys and questionnaires, presents the current practice of cultural walking tours. Based on user perceptions, a threedimensional evaluation system of “reader experiencelibrary benefitssocial impact” is constructed, and the AHPFCE method is used to quantify the activity effects. The results indicate that these activities, through serialized operations and the activation of regional resources, have significantly enhanced the utilization of library collections, promoted cultural dissemination, and strengthened public cultural identity. The overall implementation of cultural walking tours has been effective. However, the deeplevel development still faces bottlenecks such as an incomplete service supply system, weak participant engagement, and untapped potential in culturaltourism consumption. In the future, efforts should focus on enhancing brand IP development, improving a diversified service supply mechanism, and fostering collaborative innovation in cultural tourism consumption scenarios, so as to promote the highquality development of cultural walking tours.

Configuration Analysis of the Mechanism of Intergenerational Support on Multidimensional Health Literacy of the Elderly in the Context of Surrogate Health Information Seeking
Song Xiaokang, Li Fen, Zhao Yuxiang, Zhu Qinghua
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 93-106.
This study explores the mechanism through which intergenerational supportrelated factors influence the health literacy of the elderly in the context of surrogate health information seeking, and provides a theoretical reference for cultivating health literacy among the elderly. A configuration analysis framework is formed based on sensemaking theory. Then, the fuzzyset Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA) method is employed to analyze the configuration path of 331 questionnaires completed by elderly participants. The findings indicate that no single factor necessarily impacts the health literacy of the elderly. Intergenerational support contributes to overall health literacy, as well as functional, interactive, critical, and translational health literacy, with 3, 5, 1, 1, and 7 configuration pathways identified respectively. The empowerment of health literacy of the elderly by intergenerational support is the result of multiple factors. Cultivating health literacy among the elderly requires that children provide both instrumental and emotional support, while also emphasizing the subjective initiative of the elderly in sense making.

Bridging the Second Digital Divide: A Study on the Mechanism of Technological Appropriation in Older Adults Use of Short Video Platforms
Lian Jingwen, Li Xinyue, Zhao Yuxiang, Zhu Qinghua
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 107-119.
Recently, older adults have become a significant user group on short video platforms such as Douyin. However, many older adults face challenges and concerns when using these platforms. Based on affordance theory and technology appropriation theory, this study takes Douyin as the research platform and employs the critical incident technique to conduct semistructured interviews and field observations with 21 older adults. Thematic analysis is then used to analyze the data,exploring the process of older adults use of short video platforms from both a processoriented perspective and the perspective of intrinsic psychological needs. The findings reveal that multiple factors influence older adults appropriation or nonappropriation to short video platforms at various stages. Nonappropriation can be classified into two types: initial resistance and constraints during the interaction stage, while appropriation follows a twostage process: adoption and the fulfillment of psychological needs. Based on these findings, a technological appropriation mechanism model for older adults using short video platforms is developed. The study contributes to research on social media use among older adults, expands the application and scope of affordance and technology appropriation theories, and provides practical insights for designing agefriendly short video platforms and enhancing the digital literacy of older adults.

Serving Both the Elderly and Children from a StrengthBased Perspective: Investigation and Reflection on Intergenerational Programs in American Public Libraries
Liu Ying, Zhang Li
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 120-128.
Intergenerational programs play an important role in alleviating generational tensions, reshaping intergenerational relationships, and addressing the challenges of population aging. American public libraries intergenerational programs started early and have accumulated rich practical experience. Drawing on these practices, the study adopts a strengthbased perspective to provide a reference for Chinas public libraries in serving both the elderly and children. The study categorizes U.S. intergenerational programs into two types: kinshipbased and nonkinshipbased. It systematically reviews their practices according to service orientation, and uses comparative research and case study methods to analyze representative intergenerational programs in American public libraries. According to the service orientation, these programs can be divided into three types: intergenerational reading services that focus on reading development, intergenerational interactive services that focus on relationship building, and intergenerational mutual assistance services that focus on skill improvement. Looking ahead, public libraries should pay attention to developing resources for both the elderly and children to create an internal service cycle, strengthen identity recognition to enhance effective interaction between individuals and society, and adopt a collaborative perspective to empower these two groups.

A Study on the Composition and Stylistic Features of the Printed Texts in Chinese Ancient Books
Mo Jun
Libraly Journal. 2026, 45 (5): 129-139.
Chinese ancient books contain a wealth of resources related to book seals ,and the inscriptions on them exhibit a unique stylistic style in terms of vocabulary, grammar and rhetoric, and thus possess significant linguistic value. The inscriptions on the seals encompass the subject of appraisal and collection, the act of appraisal and collection, the object of the document, additional components, the name of the seal, as well as poems, essays and sentences. The organizational forms of the inscriptions include “seal subject”, “seal subject + document object”, “seal subject + appraisal and collection act + document object”, etc. The linguistic units of the inscriptions include words, phrases, simple sentences, complex sentences, and segments. The structural sentence patterns of the inscriptions include subjectpredicate sentences and nonsubjectpredicate sentences, while the functional sentence patterns primarily consist of declarative and imperative sentences. The rhetorical devices of the inscriptions include antithesis, metonymy, word imitation, poeticization, simplification, etc. By analyzing the composition and stylistic features of the inscriptions, this research reveals the morphology, syntax, and rhetoric of the inscriptions, then provides the inspiration and guidance for the development of seal philology and seal linguistics.
