Chen Ying (National Library of China) Chen Chao (Shanghai Library) Mao Yajun (Capital Library of China) Zhang Bingmei (Chongqing Library) Fang Jiazhong (Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province) Peng Yin (Guizhou Provincial Library) Chu Shuqing (Zhejiang Wenglan Library Foundation) Zhang Yan (Shenzhen Library) Wang Hai (Jinan Library)
Libraly Journal    2025, 44 (405): 4-19.  
Abstract746)      PDF(CN) (1656KB)(593)      

Chen Ying emphasizes that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the nationwide library community should align with the requirements of the new era to better fulfill their responsibilities of creating positive energy and promoting mainstream values. Libraries must enhance the preservation and utilization of Chinese classics, invigorating traditional Chinese culture with renewed vitality. The implementation of the “National Smart Library System” project, leveraging digital and intelligent technologies to improve service quality, is essential. Furthermore, libraries should act as the primary venue for promoting nationwide reading, contributing to the creation of a reading-friendly society and a culturally strong nation. Chen Chao positions public libraries as “the people’s university” and “the people’s palace”, functioning as both knowledge and social infrastructure. During this transformative period marked by global restructuring, public libraries must go beyond addressing literacy and the digital divide through reading services to help tackle broader social issues, fostering social equity, inclusion, and harmony. Mao Yajun, from five perspectives—urban-rural integration and community-oriented services; socialized education and societal re-education; deep integration and multifunctionality; precise intelligence and data visualization; new think tank development and distinctive branding—outlines a vision for the “15th Five-Year Plan”. She suggests that public libraries should be guided by high-level positioning, adopt integrated development as a pathway, and employ global perspectives and strategic thinking to construct a modernized library system with Chinese characteristics. Zhang Bingmei identifies two major challenges for libraries during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period: artificial intelligence and the involvement of social forces. Libraries must adhere to their core mission of document collection and preservation, adapt to new tools like AI, effectively utilize them, and refocus their efforts on their societal education responsibilities. Fang Jiazhong begins with a situational analysis, summarizing new goals, tasks, and requirements for public libraries during the “15th Five-Year Plan”. Using the “elements theory” from library science, he identifies new elements and values in library development. Applying systems theory frameworks involving elements, structure, and functions, he proposes that libraries should expand new momentum and functions by focusing on structural innovation, thereby enhancing their role and influence. Peng Yin suggests that provincial public libraries should explore “cross-boundary integration”, “unlimited possibilities”, and “organic growth”. They should prioritize local document resource system construction, strengthen collection resource updates, extend outreach to create innovative reading experiences, and foster a new path for cultivating interdisciplinary talent by reinforcing the development of key library personnel.Chu Shuqing argues that public libraries should proactively respond to the challenges and opportunities of the “15th Five-Year Plan” by exploring professionalized and socialized operational models, constructing public cultural communities, deepening library industry consortiums, empowering smart development with technology, and fully fulfilling their societal education mission. Zhang Yan highlights that urban public libraries, when planning for the future, should align with national and local cultural strategies. They should adopt a goal-oriented, problem-solving, and demand-driven approach to planning visions, principles, missions, and action plans at both institutional and citywide service system levels. Furthermore, She proposes specific ideas from two angles: how new situations require new mechanisms, and how new mechanisms can spark new vitality. Wang Hai recommends that public libraries focus on three priorities during the “15th Five-Year Plan”: ensuring equitable access by promoting the balanced development of public library services, restructuring and enriching the content of public cultural services, and enhancing sustainability through improved library operation models.

Libraly Journal    2025, 44 (409): 4-19.  
Abstract416)      PDF(CN) (1895KB)(1110)      

Wu Jianzhong emphasized that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, university librariesshould focus on three major issues: adapting to digital transformation through the enhancement of digitalinfrastructure for a learning society; preparing to promote open science as a key component in buildingan educational powerhouse; and seizing new opportunities in education digitization by advancing digitalliteracy, resources, and infrastructure to support high-quality educational development. Cheng Huanwenasserted that, to achieve the “Double First-Class” initiative and high-quality development in highereducation, academic libraries must strategically position themselves as the knowledge, learning, andcultural centers of universities. This involves prioritizing knowledge resource development, exploringnew learning paradigms in the digital age, enriching the cultural center’s connotation, and establishingpathways for smart library development. Xia Lixin argued that during the “15th Five-Year Plan”,university libraries urgently need to transition from “knowledge centers” to “intelligent hubs” throughdigital transformation. This entails rebuilding document resource systems suited for digital natives,reshaping AI-supported intelligent service systems, and reconstructing future learning spaces that integrateboth physical and virtual elements, thus, a new type of guarantee system to support future educationalinnovations would be constructed. Li Yansong pointed out that as the “15th Five-Year Plan” approaches,the library at Shanghai International Studies University must align with the university’s strategic goals byresponding to faculty and student needs through shared services, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and aligning innovation with societal trends. Optimizing resource allocation, innovating service models,and creating diverse spaces will support the university’s core initiatives and overall development. ShaYongzhong and colleagues proposed that university libraries should adopt a digital strategy compatiblewith the digital transformation of higher education by: creating an ecosystem of digital resourcesto eliminate information silos; innovating intelligent services by leveraging AI for a new serviceecosystem; and emphasizing safety and ethical governance to balance technological convenience withrisk management and ensure a secure and controllable digital transformation. Jin Jianbin highlightedthat key factors influencing university libraries during this period include changes in higher educationstructures and talent training models, new modes of knowledge production and dissemination due todigital technologies, and the development of institutional repositories amid open science and geopoliticaltensions. He shared Tsinghua University Library’s forward-looking strategies in smart services, academicempowerment, and resource development. Dong Youming stated that Wuhan University Library willadopt a “demand-driven – technology-driven – ecosystem-reconstructed” transformation path duringthe “15th Five-Year Plan”. This path focuses on resource aggregation and discovery, research support,teaching and training, decision-making support, and AI ethics and risk control, aiming to build anintelligent academic service system that covers all elements of discipline development, the entireinnovation chain of research, and all processes of decision-making. Cheng Jinhua, based on the practicesof Shanghai Jiao Tong University Library, proposed that relying on a new system infrastructure and alarge data platform to deliver high-quality knowledge services in education, science, and talent cultivationwill be a key mission for libraries during this period. This also presents an opportunity to realize the visionof the “Library as the Heart of the University 2.0”. Liu Hongwei emphasized that university librariesshould adapt and innovate in four key areas: reaffirming their university identity, ensuring a closedloopfor sustainable development, constructing a new development paradigm, and deeply transformingservices. Through a three-phase evolution, namely, efficient resource allocation, a revolution in serviceeffectiveness, and brand-wide influence, libraries can evolve from mere resource providers to powerfulacademic ecosystem enablers in world-class universities.

Optimizing the Service and Product Supply Mechanisms of Public Libraries: Key Tasks for the “15th Five-Year Plan” of Public Libraries
Cheng Huanwen (School of Information Management, Sun Yat-sen University)
Libraly Journal    2025, 44 (410): 4-6.  
Abstract349)      PDF(CN) (1706KB)(886)      

Since the beginning of the 21st century, China has made significant progress in the development of public libraries and their service systems. However, challenges remain in areas such as regional balance, resource support at the grassroots level, the construction of provincial service systems, and funding investment. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee proposed to “optimize the mechanisms for cultural services and cultural product supply”, providing direction for the “15th Five-Year Plan” of public libraries and for tackling current difficulties. The key to optimization lies in improving the public library service system, establishing mechanisms for high-quality resources to reach grassroots levels, enhancing mechanisms for social participation in services, and promoting reforms that separate ownership and usage rights of public cultural facilities. However, it is essential to clarify that public library facilities do not fall under the scope of “reforms separating ownership from usage rights”—their rights are inseparable. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the focus should be on improving mechanisms for involving social forces in the management or operation of public library services to ensure the healthy development of public libraries.

This paper exams the current practice of social organizations in constructing rural readingservice systems within the context of rural revitalization strategy, with the aim of providing insights forsocial organizations involved in rural reading services. By analyzing annual reports published by 14 socialorganizations from 2017 to 2023, this study employs grounded theory to explore the practical mechanismsof the rural reading service. It further discusses its configuration path by way of necessary conditionanalysis (NCA) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results show that ensuringthe availability of reading services is essential for improving the effectiveness of rural reading services,though a well-coordinated system is required to achieve optimal outcomes. There are three configurationpaths with high effectiveness: the ecological-construction-driven path, the resource-construction-drivenpath and the teacher-guarantee-driven path. To promote the high-quality development of rural readingservice systems, social organizations should enhance the capacity of ensuring reading services, takea fresh look at the value of reading service resource construction, develop multi-level reading serviceeducators, and facilitate benign cooperation among multiple stakeholders, while fostering connections between urban and rural reading services.

Fu Shaoxiong, Zeng Yuanlai, Sun Lan, Deng Shengli ( College of Information Management, Nanjing Agricultural University, School of Information Management, Wuhan University)
Libraly Journal    2024, 43 (404): 103-116.  
Abstract276)      PDF(CN) (1965KB)(300)      

As a core channel of information dissemination, short-video platforms play a crucial role in the governance of false health information, aligning with the the strategy of “Healthy China” and the concept of network security. Unlike traditional social media such as Sina Weibo and WeChat, which are predominantly graphic-based and text-based, short videos combine text, audio and image in a multimodal way, and false health information dissemination via this medium urgently needs to be studied. This research has analyzed the factors influencing users’ dissemination of short videos of false health information, providing insights for the prevention and control of misinformation and improving governance on short-video platforms. A dissemination model was constructed based on ternary interaction decision theory. Based on a combination of questionnaire surveys, regression analysis, and user interviews, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to analyze configurations influencing the dissemination of false health information. Key factors such as users’ age, gender, health information literacy, health concerns, information risk perception, information source credibility, platform ease of use and platform service quality were found to significantly affect the spread of false health information. The fsQCA revealed 2 configurations associated with a high tendency to spread false health information in short videos, and 10 configurations associated with a low tendency to do so. These findings contribute to strategies for governing health information on short-video platforms and optimizing the information ecosystem.

Abstract275)      PDF(CN) (1696KB)(365)      

The research on bibliography in the Yuan Dynasty is relatively less in the past century, andthe analysis for bibliographic literature of the Yuan Dynasty can change this situation to some extent.Through counting the number of Yuan Dynasty catalogs, it was found that there were 67 types of theYuan Dynasty catalogs, which can be divided into three categories: book collection catalogs, historicalrecords catalogs and specialized catalogs. Among them, the collection catalog can be divided into nationalcollection catalog, academy collection catalog, and private collection catalog. Specialized catalogs canbe divided into sub-categories such as guide catalog, religious catalog and reference catalog. Due to theinfluence of academic trends and politics, there are a large number of religious and reference catalogs. Theideology for guiding the Yuan scholars to catalog is summarizing numerous books and being proficient inlearning, which had a value orientation of respecting sages, pursuing great principles and using catalogingfor practical purposes.

Libraly Journal    2024, 43 (403): 11-19.  
Abstract254)      PDF(CN) (1687KB)(249)      

The proposed concept of the public cultural service community is a further innovation andsublimation of the Party and the country’s approach to cultural governance. While existing researchfocuses on the theoretical underpinnings and significance of this concept, there has been less attention tothe key question of how to construct such communities. From a practical perspective, models such asGuangzhous Vertical and Horizontal Collaborative Service Upgrade Model, Shanghai Pudong NewAreas Regional Alliance Cultural Coordinated Development Model, and Sichuan Provinces Platform-Driven Resource Linkage Model have achieved significant operational effectiveness, providing goodreferences for the construction of the public cultural service community in China. An analysis of thefour dimensions of institution-technology-organization-environment reveals ongoing problems,including institutional deficiencies and inadequacies, digital resource divides, weak participation ofsocial forces, and insufficient support for guaranteeing elements. In the future, efforts should be made toexplore mechanisms for cross-departmental collaboration, digital resource sharing, open cooperation, andenvironmental support, to achieve institutional innovation and enhance the construction of public culturalservice communities.

Libraly Journal    2025, 44 (405): 108-119.  
Abstract250)      PDF(CN) (1953KB)(462)      

This paper constructs a deep learning model based on NEZHA-RTransformer-CRF. A total of 660 corpora were randomly selected from 101 journals as experimental data. A corpus was established through manual annotation, and the text was input into the NEZHA model to extract feature representation information. Subsequently, the RTransformer model was employed to extract local contextual information, with the final output fed into the CRF for entity recognition. Comparative analysis was conducted against four other models: BERT-BiLSTM-CRF, BERT-BiGRU-CRF, SVM and ChatGLM-Ptuning. The NEZHA-RTransformer-CRF model achieved an accuracy of 89.79% and a significantly improved F1 value of 79.44%. This validates the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed model, confirming the feasibility of applying deep learning techniques to the Repulibcian-era journal corpora. The results provide valuable data support for further exploration of journal data from this period.
