To study the theoretical basis of protection of readers’ reading rights, the paper targets at “protective regulation theory” of German administrative law as research object, investigates respectively the administrative action obligation on libraries, readers’ rights protection mechanism, and related legal disputes analysis on administrative inaction of libraries. The reference and revelation lies in the following aspects: the uncivilized behavior of readers is not counted as tort; if library fails to correct the uncivilized behavior of the readers in time, it violates its own administrative action obligation; the library’s violation of administrative action obligation is of illegality; the administrative discretion of library can’t be used as the excuse of exemption from legal liability; other readers in library have the right to claim their public law rights as the third party with independent claim in procedure law.

In the process of knowledge utilization, researchers are faced with the matching problem of internal motivation and external resources. Difference in utilization contexts will lead to difference in knowledge utilization behavior. Based on the self-determination theory, this research explores the formation mechanism and path of researchers’ knowledge utilization behavior. In the empirical study, 526 valid questionnaires were obtained from 78 scientific research teams in 8 universities in the central and western regions, and Smart PLS2.0 are applied to test the model. The results show that perceived knowledge quality and perceived knowledge reputation promote knowledge utilization attitude. Subjective norm impacts knowledge utilization intention whereas group norm has no impact on knowledge utilization intention. Knowledge utilization attitude positively influences knowledge utilization intention and knowledge utilization behavior, while knowledge utilization intention promotes knowledge utilization behavior. Academic information literacy has a positive effect on knowledge utilization attitude, intention and behavior.

Based on the background of big data, this paper starts with the changes of digital humanities development and its connotation under the new digital environment, and analyzes the transformation of humanities research in digital humanities. The thinking mode of big data provides new ideas and methods for humanities research. The digital humanities studies in the humanities have presented new features, such as wide horizon, quantification, interdisciplinarization, integration and multi-dimensional analysis, which have brought a variety of thinking modes and research perspectives, such as wide horizon, long time, and large space. It has formed a new paradigm for digital humanities research in the era of big data. Integration and fusion of digital data and computer analysis have become two important components of digital humanities studies.

Yan family were both Confucian and Buddhists. Although the creation of YanShiJiaXun was based on Confucianism, the educational thoughts as reflected in the book are vastly different from that of Confucius in terms of subject selection, research methods, examples, and purpose of working hard. Using the method of word frequency statistics in library and information science and mapping knowledge representation, the paper analyses the texts of YanShiJiaXun and The Analects, and demonstrates their correlation and difference regarding education philosophies.

Through specific examples, it summarizes the key points and methods of the patent technical intelligence, achievements, and thoughts on follow-up work

From the perspective of hypernetwork, the paper studies the importance of authors in scientific research collaboration. First of all, by considering the impact factors of journals, time factors and cited frequency of papers, authors’ signature order and the paper quantity, we design author’s own scientific value V, which can characterize the local importance of authors. Then, we construct the average path matrix with arbitrary length. According to the distance between nodes, the average number of paths and other factors, three matrices about importance contribution proportion are constructed, which reflect the influence strength among all nodes. As a result, we obtain the total importance contribution value F that can characterize the global importance of authors. Finally, combined with the author’s own value V and the contribution value F obtained from other authors, the final importance index D is proposed. In the field of library and information, we construct the hypernetwork including 81 authors and 855 papers. The empirical results show that the index proposed can identify the core authors effectively. Moreover, compared with traditional and single indicators respectively, the validity of the method is further verified.

t This paper uses Web of Science, CNKI, ProQuest, China Digital Library and other websites to collect data of world-renowned think tanks, including academic indicators, popularity indicators, as well as some objective data in 2016. After extensive research, and referencing 2015 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report published by University of Pennsylvania and Global Think Tank Evaluation Report published by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this paper selects 169 world-renowned think tanks with the principles of openness, integrity and representativeness. Then we collect data from four perspectives: basic situation, academic influence, popularity, and peer review. This dataset can be used for the analysis and research of famous think tanks around the world, and to assess the current status of think tanks as well as their impact on public policy

The Transcript of Medical Prescriptions collected in Shanghai Library consists of over seven hundred prescriptions, nearly forty of which are not recorded in the Comprehensive Dictionary of TCM Prescriptions. Besides, there also contains many prescriptions whose compositions are different from those by the same prestigious physician. The transcript is of Woyunshanfang edition with three pieces of labeling remarks by Huang Chang. According to these remarks, this paper investigated the experiences of Fan Dache and Huang Chang, the details of how Huang Chang bought and revised the book, and the correlation between this transcript and the romantic novels in the late Ming dynasty.
