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.

The woodblock-printed Shi Ji (Records of the Grand Historian) of Yuan Dynasty annotatedby Yang Shaohe in his Ying Shu Yu Lu was once lost after Fu Zengxiang looked over it, until the authorfound it recently in the Yuan’s complimentary books collected in the library of Zhejiang University.Through the physical research, it can be concluded that this edition is indeed a woodblock-printed whichreprinted by You Ming as Fu said. The reasons for people’s misjudgment are as follows: ① As a re-carvededition, its characteristics are similar to that of the Zhongtong edition, and Jianyang engraving editionin the early Ming Dynasty inherited the font style of the Yuan Dynasty; ② As a post printed edition, thewooden records of “Fengcheng You Ming Da Sheng Corrected” have been gouged out; ③ Five articles inthis book, including Shi Ji Zheng Yi Xu, which with a wooden record of “Fengcheng You Ming Da ShengCorrected and Added” have been taken away, so there is no any trace of You Ming; ④ The last seven linesof Dong Pu's Preface was cut off, and the words ‘Huang Yuan’ in supplementary copy on the basis ofShen Du Zhai’s edition which copied in Ming dynasty misled some people.

Deep classification of literature based on Chinese Library Classification (CLC) includes two classical natural language processing problems: Extreme Multi-label Text Classification (XMC) and Hierarchical Text Classification (HTC). However, the current research on literature classification based on CLC generally treats it as an ordinary text classification problem. Since the core features of the problem are not fully explored, these studies are generally unsatisfactory or even infeasible in deep categorization. This paper, through the in-depth analysis of the characteristics and difficulties of the literature classification based on CLC, examines and researches the deep classification of literature based on the CLC and related solutions from the perspectives of XMC and HTC. It applies and innovates them for the characteristics of this scenario, which not only improves the accuracy of the classification, but also extends the depth and breadth of the classification. In this paper, the model first extracts the semantic features of the text as the basis of classification through a lightweight deep learning model applicable to the XMC problem. And then, for the HTC problem in the classification of CLC, it utilizes the LTR (Learning to Rank) framework to incorporate multivariate features including hierarchical structural information as the auxiliary basis of classification, which greatly exploits the information and knowledge embedded in the semantic and classification system of the text. The model utilizes the LTR framework to incorporate multiple features including hierarchical structure information as an auxiliary basis for classification. It also combines the powerful semantic understanding ability of deep learning models with the interpretability of machine learning models, and has good scalability, which can be easily improved by incorporating new features customized by experts at a later stage. Moreover, the model is relatively lightweight, which can easily cope with tens of thousands of classified labels under the limited computational resources, and lays a good foundation for the full-depth categorization based on the CLC.

With the Internet’s advancing, online video has become an important way of scientificcommunication. As a pivotal medium for scientific communication and interaction between scientificinstitutions and the public, the way to improve the communication effect of science popularization videosis a valuable topic to be studied. Based on a sample of 769 videos uploaded by the Institute of PhysicsCAS on Bilibili from March 15 of 2019 to June 5 of 2021, this study uses regression analysis based on the“heuristic-system model” to analyze the factors influencing the communication of science popularizationvideos in terms of title strategy, cover type, co-production, soundtrack type, video length, videopackaging, content theme, and social hotspots. The results show that videos that have suspenseful titles,stimulating interactive titles, or integrated titles can have better communication effect, so do videos thathave a combination of graphic and textual covers; videos that talk about social hotspots, co-created, aboutreporting scientific advances or explaining natural phenomena, or having time length of 10 to 30 minutesare more effectively broadcasted.

Taking the construction and effectiveness of the digital base of Fudan University library as an example, this paper explores the construction ideas, strategies and methods of the digital base of university library. It is proposed that the construction of the digital base needs to be appropriately planned and improved under the guidance of the digital transformation strategy. Based on user needs, systematic construction and continuous evolution are carried out from the aspects of platform tools, data resources, operation mechanism, scenario innovation and specifications.

Reviewing and examining the development of bibliographical retrieval instruction incontemporary China is both historically and practically significant. This paper analyzes the evolution ofbibliographical retrieval instruction up to 1984, the year when the bibliographical retrieval course waswidely implemented, using a historical retrospective approach and a review of relevant literature andhistorical texts. The development process is divided into four stages: the exploratory stage (1956—1965),the stagnant stage (1966—1970), the recovery stage (1971—1976), and the pioneering stage (1977—1984).Each stage’s characteristics and overall development trends are summarized in relation to the actualhistorical context. The research reveals that bibliographical retrieval instruction in contemporary Chinaemerged as an essential response to the information age, and followed its own developmental logic. Thisprogression resulted from the persistent efforts of Chinese library and information science professionalsaddressing contemporary needs, as well as the coordinated collaboration between pioneering individualsand expert organizations. The study concludes by summarizing three historical experiences that areconducive to the development of information literacy education.

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.

With the integration of digital technologies into middle school students’ reading experiences, understanding the current state of digital reading literacy among secondary school students and their individual influential factors is crucial for enhancing immersive digital reading. The article empirically analyzes the digital reading literacy and its influencing factors among 701 middle school students through a questionnaire survey. The findings reveal that overall digital reading literacy among these students is strong, with a trend towards visual and audio-visual co-mingling in reading practices. In addition, there are significant differences in digital reading literacy, self-efficacy, metacognitive strategies, and cognitive strategies among students of different grades. The study suggests that the government should promote the integration of digital reading into the quality education system, provide digital reading curricula in schools, foster reading habits within families, promote the synthesis of digital reading literacy with broader digital literacy, and strengthen the digital ethics and morality among secondary school students. These measures could improve both digital reading literacy and overall digital literacy among secondary school students.

In the era of digital intelligence, personalized algorithm recommendation services are developing rapidly. There are inconsistencies in the findings of empirical studies on the factors influencing the adoption intention of users of personalized algorithmic recommendation services. In order to clarify the key influencing factors, the empirical research results on this topic were sorted out and re-analyzed to provide reference for subsequent research. This paper used the meta-analysis method to identify 14 key factors from 51 domestic and foreign empirical studies focusing on the adoption intention of users of personalized algorithm recommendation services. Among these factors, trust, attitude, perceived pleasure, interaction quality, recommendation information quality and other factors played a strong role in user’s adoption intention. Research time, social environment and application platform type moderated the relationship between the relevant variables and the adoption intention of users of personalized algorithm recommendation services.

Driven by a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrialtransformation, librarianship, like other industries, is facing opportunities and challenges oftransformation and upgrading. On the one hand, the library is expanding from information processingand information service to a wider range of academic exchanges and research, and its service focus ischanging from serving readers in the library to responding to social (community) development needs.On the other hand, the steady progress of the open access movement in the past two decades has createda favorable environment for libraries to evolve towards knowledge infrastructure. In the next twodecades, libraries will play an increasingly important role in the construction of knowledge infrastructureand the advancement of open science. The author uses three keywords – connection, navigation andcreation – to propose the direction of future efforts. First, librarians must become promoters and leadersof connections, exerting their ability to organize, coordinate and mobilize various resources. Second,librarians must actively participate in the process of open science development and give full play to theirexpertise in resource management, data utilization and reference service. Third, libraries should strive tocreate an environment conducive to user innovation and creation, so as to assist economic and culturaldevelopment.

The integration and development of public cultural services and tourism public services is an important aspect of cultural and tourism integration, and it is also a difficult point for the integration and development of the two. Based on the practical needs of high-quality development of public cultural services in China, the article clarifies the connotation of public cultural services and tourism public services, identifies the “suitable integration areas”, and combines relevant theories to reveal the internal logic and value of integrated development, explaining the stages and practical directions of integrated development. The integration and development of the two has gone through the exploration period characterized by “facilities out of the circle and space embedding”, the breakthrough period of “institutional integration and service superposition”, and will enter the deepening period of “people-oriented, host-guest sharing”. In the new era, under the guidance of the concept of “taking the people as the center”, we should promote the integration of ideas, resources, services, platforms and standards in an integrated way to achieve the deeper integration and development of the two.

Ancient books are an important carrier of Chinese civilization, and their storage, utilization, grading, and digital protection can all be related to laws. In view of the feasibility and superiority of local legislation, as well as the imbalance of China’s geographical and economic development, this article analyzes the role of local regulations in promoting the protection of ancient books in China based on the relationship between the development of ancient books protection and the demand for legislation. Via the NVivo14 software, the article encodes the retrieved 155 local laws and regulations, and identifies the room for improvement in the fund guarantee mechanism of the local legislation for ancient books protection. It also notices that the management department(s) are unclear, protection methods are imperfect, incentive/penalty measures are vague, and legal responsibility is not corresponding to specific norms. It thus proposes to improve the mechanism for financial assurance, refine the responsibilities of the management body and the items under protection, and finally specify the rewards and punishments.

Taking Jiashan Library’s “Amazing Parents” reading service project as an example, this paper explores the service practices of public libraries that focus on parents and supporting family education. The project centers on parents, with four key focus areas: parental awareness, parental abilities, parental cooperation, and parental actions. Through a case study method, the paper introduces the background, three major sections, and three major measures of the “Amazing Parents” reading service project, along with its implementation effects. It analyzes the project’s characteristics and extracts key dimensions, ultimately developing service strategies for public libraries to effectively focus on parents and assist in family education based on these four focus points.

In recent years, with the enactment of the Public Library Law and policies such as theGuiding Opinions on Promoting the Construction of Child-Friendly Cities, the Implementation Plan of theNational Reading Action for Adolescent Students, the Family Education Law and the “Double Reduction”initiative in education, the role of public libraries in supporting children’s reading has gained increasingattention. Using the Shanghai Children’s Library as a case study, this paper explores the backgroundand main characteristics of the current children’s reading service, and proposes a stronger child-friendlyapproach by building a new child-friendly reading space, and optimizing their reading environment.It emphasizes the importance of enhanced organization and access to high-quality literature, and ofdiversified reading promotion that supports children’s growth and development in a more integrated andinclusive manner.
