In the process of development, classical bibliography formed a series of thoughts and methods,such as integration, classification, preface, abstract, and inter-analytic record. These thoughts and methods are still of value for supplementing collection in the modern times. The paper proposes to supplement
literature collection through top-down inverse classical bibliography activities and bottom-up inverse academic development, in order to form a complete literature collection.

The paper tries to understand open access status of electronic journals based on group purchasing of six medical journals databases (LWW, BMJ, Thieme, Karger, Informa, JAMA). Through investigating the quantity, utilization, accessibility of open access journals in 2014, the results showed that
five databases have open access journals, excluding JAMA, but the ratio of open access articles in total article quantities published is low (1%): 42.8% journals include open access articles, whereas11 of total open access journals are included in SCI. utilization ratios of open access articles are found significantly different in six databases. As for the influence of open access on group purchasing, it is recommended that group purchasing should include open access; that the ratio of open access articles should be considered for price negotiation in renewal attempts; that OA should be taken into account during costs verification.

The column setting, content, function and design of open staff webpages of university libraries between hina and America are surveyed and compared.

This paper analyzed traditional knowledge structure of commentary literatures. The authors designed a knowledge representation project based on ontology and XML, and constructed an exegetics initial ontology firstly accordingly. The exegetics ontology is a formal description of the concepts and their relationship
in exegetics.

Next, they studied the automatic transform method of the knowledge structure of commentary literatures. This study has reference value for the digitization and intelligent retrieval of ancient literature.

There are some doubtful points in Peng Xishuang’s paper Review of Erya Zheng Xuan Zhu Jicun By Xu Sen which published in the Library Journal: the calculation of the number of Xu Sen’book was wrong; it was wrong to say that Xu Sen confused Zheng Xuan Ben Erya with Zheng Xuan Zhu Erya, Xu
Sen’s book was plagiarism and Xu’s analysis is meaningless. It was too subjectivity to affirm the material in Huilin Yinyi is not credible. The criticism of Erya Gulin Xulu was misconduct and misreading.

The movable type printed edition of “Yanzi Chunqiu” from the Ming dynasties was the progenitor of all the later edition of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Researches has found identities in terms of type block characteristics, the page, paragraph and line arrangements between this Movable Type edition
and the Ming Copper Movable Type books including the “Kai Yuan Tian Bao Yi Shi” by Zhang of Jianye Era and “Shi Men Hong Jue Fan Tian Chu Jin Luan” by Zhang Tianzhi of Zhengde. Therefore, the conclusion has been drawn that the “Yanzi Chunqiu” is an edition by Zhang using the same but rearranged Copper
Movable Type around Zhengde. Moreover, during Ming and Qing, various of “Yanzi Chunqiu” editions had been derived from Zhang’s. Their origin, transmission and receiving are complicated. These derived editions can be generally categorised into abridged and unabridged versions. It is found the abridged version had the progenitor of “Zi Hui” edition of Zhengde. However, multiple of proofed “Yanzi Chunqiu” in Late-Qing adopted the same master edition proofed by Sun xingyan.
