This paper reviews the endeavor of library and information science in search for information units to be used in information organization and retrieval. It then adopts Yu’s recent definition of information as basis and examines the possibility of dividing information into various units. It shows that there exist at least three levels of units for information: work, chapter, thematic section; it argues that although work is the most commonly used unit in nearly all professional activities, it is possible to use other units in at least some of the activities. It then takes Yu’s Back to the Fundamentals Again paper as an example and
demonstrates that these three levels indeed exist and that each level enables a different depth of information organization. This paper contends that future research is needed to test the universality and utility of these three levels of information units through large scale empirical research and to develop a typology of formats (e.g., concept based, fact based, graph based, formula based, etc.) for the lowest level of information unit.

Based on the system theory, the Model of Public Digital Cultural Resources Integration (MPDCRI) is built, and the inherent logic relationships among the four elements of this model—integrating objective, integrating bodies, integrating objects, and technical standards—are described. The optimization of Chinese MPDCRI is as follows: the integration target of Chinese MPDCRI should be meeting the public’s demands on “one-stop” access to public digital cultural resources; the integration practices should be coled by the Ministry of Culture and the State Archives Administration of the People’s Republic of China;
advanced and unified technical standard system should be adopted; and all types of public digital cultural resources should be integrated into a unified platform to build an integrated information space of Chinese digital cultural resources. Within this framework, the integration model of National Cultural Information Resources Sharing Project is optimized to provide references for promoting further development of the project.

The paper introduces current public library assessment practices in China and the HAPLR and LJ Index rating system in the United States, and conducts a comparative study from the perspectives of evaluation subject, purpose, cycle, object, index set, result processing and feedbacks. Itpoints out the shortcomings of China’s current assessment work, while identifying some positive elements of HAPLR and LJ Index system that Chinese public libraries could learn and adopt.

With Weibo and WeChat, micro message service is being widely used in public library, and we need to build a team devoted to such service as well as analyzing their performance so as to tap library potentials, improve efficiency and promote the sound and sustainable development of our service.

Through artificial aging test method, the polyester-based film was aged separately and together with cellulose-based film. By comparing the performances before and after the experiment, the effects of the cellulose-based film with acetic acid syndrome on polyester-based film were analyzed. The result
amply proved that the cellulose-based film would influence the polyester-based film, when stored together. Accordingly, the proposal of separate storage of microfilms of different bases was made.

According to the existing literature cataloging rules, this paper discusses how to correctly understand the prescribed information sources for title and responsibility statement sections. Through several typical examples, the author analyzes the existing problems in practices and puts forward the
corresponding suggestions.

The authors design questionnaire forms and analyze the main provincial scientific literature sharing service platforms in our country, in terms of general operation, service station construction, literature resources, information service, network running, and so forth, by the bibliometric and statistical
methods. Addressing the main existing problems of the majority, such as similar database resource structure and information service content, less resource co-construction and sharing, less feature resource species,unapparent characteristic service, and lack of user development, the paper advises to take the metadata storage technology as the core, build the platform and finish the revision, promote the featured resource construction, explore new pattern knowledge service, break the provincial regional restrictions, carry our mutual cooperation among literature resource group purchasing, collaborative knowledge service and feature resource sharing, and multiple comprehensive measures to improve the platform.

In response to the new situation in the field of copyright of the digital age, Russia revised its Civil Code IV: Intellectual Property in 2014. The revision casts far-reaching influence on Russian library community, and also provides a legal guarantee to the reader service and library collection development in the digital era.

The big data era makes the library and Information Science (LIS) professional education focus increasingly on digital management. In this paper, we study the digital management programs in 30 universities through the official website of the LIS schools (based on the ranking of LIS major). The analysis
reveals obvious differences in the training objectives, training mode, project type and curricula setting in the digital management education of the two countries. Overall, the authors find the digital management education in China is lagging behind the United States. Aiming at narrowing the existing gap, we put forward some suggestions in the aforementioned four aspects.

The rulers in the Song Dynasty thought that books had played an important role in moral education and eliminating disorders of society, so they searched for various kinds of books in the early days of foundation of the Dynasty. The donator was awarded with a variety of forms, such as imperial encyclic award, rank promotion and physical rewards. Governors encouraged to donate books by providing diverse forms of rewards under a standard with great incentive. These measures cultivated people’s passion on contributing of books. They not only enriched the collection of books but also promoted the development
of cultural and educational enterprise.

It is normally believed that for the Compilation of the Siku Quanshu, during Qian Long’s rule, Zhu Yun, the educational officer of Anhui Province who originally established the academic organ to proofread books, submitted 37 kinds of books, 16 of which were taken into the Catelogue Summary of Siku Quanshu, and 4 of the 16 were taken into the Deposit Account of Si Ku. Zhu Xigeng thought that the books submitted by Zhu Yun had been recorded under Cheng Jinfang’s name. Carefully checking the File of Editing the Siku Quanshu and the Bibliography of Si Ku Takend, we found that among the over 50 kinds of books submitted by Zhu Yun, 14 were taken into the Siku Quanshu, and 2 of the 14 were taken into the Deposit Account of Si Ku. The fact that most submitted books had not been returned was an important reason to cause the misunderstanding of Zhu Xigeng to Cheng Jinfang.

Li Kaixian was a famous litterateur and opera writer in the Ming Dynasty, who was also a famous book-collector and known to the world for his rich collection. His collection could not escape the fate of falling apart because of his family tragedy and national perish after his death. A part of the collection was gone to Zhu Mujie’s Wanjuantang just after his death, and the rest to Xu Qianxue’s Chuanshilou,Mao Yi’s Jigug, ect. during the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and were concentrated in the hands of private collectors. But these books didn’t exist eventually, which were not only the loss of the library circles, but also the crack to the Chinese national memory.

Jiang Tan was a famous literati of Qiantang region in late the Qing Dynasty. He took refuge in his friend Wang Jingzeng’s home located in Huangshan, Cixi and wrote the first draft of A Small Local Chronicle about Huangshan, which recorded landscapes of Huangshan and the history of Wang's family.
Then a clansman of Wang’s family called Wang Renyuan, on the basis of Jiang Tan’s first draft, wrote the Continue Writing of A Small Local Chronicle about Huangshan. The two were combined into one,and called A Small Local Chronicle about Huangshan. The chronicle recorded geography and history of
Huangshanconcisely and comprehensively. It was unique, but had many shortcomings especially in the numbers of characters and amount of information. Still, it is an excellent tiny village chronicle, which has been passed down to today, retaining the history of Huangshan and people’s love for it. It also gives a lot of inspiration for modern chronicle scholars.
