Abstract:

Genealogy is an important cultural heritage. Public libraries at all levels pay more and more attention to the development of genealogy resources. Due to the insufficient survey of genealogy users, however, the formulated reading promotion strategies are mostly based on the subjective judgment of the library and lack accuracy. Through the extraction of response texts to questions regarding family tree by knowledge community users, the features of the texts are captured by LDA model construction, the keywords discussed by interest groups are interpreted, and then the actual focus of family tree discussions is analyzed. It goes on to explore the promotion path of genealogy reading in public libraries from the perspective of users, and puts forward the strategy of embedding memory theory, valuing female users’ perspective, having an international perspective, and innovating genealogy revision.

Key words: Public library, Genealogy, Reading promotion, Perspective of users, LDA model
