Building authority files for journals are conducive to the management and authority control of the journal bibliographic information. Based on the analysis of application scenarios of journal authority file in NSTL digital business platform, this paper summarizes its two core requirements: resource descriptions &
retrievals, and data statistics & analysis. The paper addresses the issue of missing history information in NSTL Union Catalog System, and takes Ulrich journal as external supplement to complete the journal historical relations. As for the integration of journal titles in different external resources, it uses PubMed journal as an example to illustrate the point. Finally, sample data is validated by means of the prototype system.

The paper compares and analyzes ten most well-known libraries’ PRIMO discovery platforms in terms of search options, faceted filtering, and search results page.

Two models, namely, the shifted power function (SPF) and the decreasing exponential function (DEF), are introduced to estimate the ratio of e-index and h-index (e/h) in publication-citation distribution. With data from perspectives of discipline, journal, country and institution, it is revealed that
SPF overestimates e/h while DEF underestimates e/h. Deeper analysis finds that the high randomness of sample points in h-core is the main factor affecting models’ accuracy. Considering h-core’s small proportion in the entire publication-citation distribution, and the good property of SPF and DEF for the
oretical analysis, it concludes that ratio models of e-index and h-index can be used as general theoretical references.

This paper discusses the relationship between patent analysis and technology foresight, and attempts to introduce quantitative-analysis-based patent analysis to technology foresight to construct a technology foresight model by way of delphi method and patent analysis. Using an empirical study of
desalination, it tests the model and hopes to provide reference for optimizingtechnology foresight.

Public libraries play an important role in the life and work of Americans, yet the latter’s use of libraries has taken a more noticeable change in recent years. The paper, quoting the reasons stated by surveyed patrons for their change in library use, extracts the themes by way of Nvivo and SPSS Text
Analytics. It then builds the semantic map between these themes by Pajek and VOSviewer, and visualize the result. Education of kids and teens, traditional resources and services, and the convenient access are the major reasons for the increase of library use; whereas the Internet technology, lifestyle change, and the growing need of electronic resources and services lead to the decrease of library use. In the meanwhile,information technology has influenced the library use in both ways: the free internet access and skills training encourage people to use library, but library also loses readers of high income and/or high education to the more convenient technologies. That said, however, public libraries do innovate their services according to the technical surge in an attempt to retain patrons. The paper also notices the class issue as betrayed by the different changes in library use, and plans a further analysis that studies the correlation between class,demographics and behavioral change in library use.
