Harvard University Chinese History Professor Peter K. Bol’s keynote report at the 9th Shanghai International Library Forum (SILF2018) discussed “Network Infrastructure” as a bridge to connect many independent databases in Chinese research has a vital meaning for the development of digital humanities. He believes that digital humanities is not only a tool, but a method and technical system that causes paradigm and theoretical change in the process of knowledge advancement. Taking the Chinese historical biographies database (CBDB) as an example, he explained the essential difference between the “relational database” and the commonly used text database in a simple way, and explained how the geographic information system (GIS), social network analysis, text analysis tools and platforms help to promote knowledge advances and lead to paradigm shifts and the birth of new theories. Finally, it is proposed to combine the research libraries to build the vision of the “Global Smart Data Platform”.

Since the 21st century, the public libraries in China have shown an unprecedented trend of prosperity due to the continuous innovation of systems, concepts, technologies and services. Those innovations that changed the progress of Chinese public libraries in the 21st century include one-card-through library system, national cultural information resources sharing project, city of library, national reading activity, self-service library, free public library service, library+, construction of public library service system, Public Cultural Service Guarantee Law of the People’s Republic of China, and Public Library Law of the People’s Republic of China. They have formed the “China Model” and “China Road” of the development of public libraries in the 21st century, which is a good reference for all countries in the world.

 In big data environment, the number of digital resources has increased, and the granularity of resource organization is more refined. Peoples’ demand for data mining and knowledge service become more urgent. This paper analyzes several literature metadata standards used by different publishers and information service institutions, especially NSTL unified literature metadata standard. Then, we find that metadata design presents unitarity, modularity, fineness, identities and relevance trends and features.

By studying the function of the first generation and the current generation of electronic resources management systems, we notice some problems in electronic resources management models in both systems. This paper presents the direction to solve them: the implementation of electronic resource management based on data warehousing within the framework of the new generation of library system.

In this paper, the status of reading promotion through the use of WeChat in the current libraries of art colleges was investigated, a quantitative analysis of the effect of WeChat reading promotion was made, and the strategy for WeChat reading promotion in the libraries of art colleges was put forward, so as to provide ideas and suggestions for the development of reading promotion in the libraries of art colleges. The WeChat public platform was selected as the data source for the research, whereas the independently established public undergraduate art college library was selected as the object of investigation. The reading promotion information was manually screened and classified into 14 categories. The effect of WeChat reading promotion of the sample library was weighted and quantified by using the latest version of WCI (V13.0), the current status and actual effect of WeChat reading promotion in the libraries of art colleges were analyzed, the factors that influence the effect of reading promotion were discussed, and the strategy for the WeChat reading promotion and development in the art colleges libraries was put forward. The libraries of art colleges should deal with the relationship between traditional reading promotional activities and the characteristic reading promotional activities of the art colleges, making use of the algorithm to select topic and optimize content, and attaching importance to the push’s readability, interestingness and interactivity, etc.

Zhangjiagang Children’s Library, the main practitioner of reading promotion, constructs a new model for children library — “Cultural Supermarket”— under the guidance of Level Reading concept. It divides the service objects into four groups: 0-3 years old , 3-6 years old, 6-12 years old and 12-18 years old. It tailors service to different age group, but maintains consistence among groups to maximize the experience of “Cultural Supermarket”.

Library is undergoing changes in terms of services. The current library information system structures have many problems, such as difficulty in data interactions and extension, which restrict the development of library. As a new information system architecture, microservices are suitable for constructing the next generation library service platform. FOLIO uses microservices to build the next generation of library open service platform, which proves the feasibility

With the iteratively updating of global e-book standards, the shortcomings of the traditional DRM technology are continuously revealed. A new digital copyright protection technology based on EPUB 3.0, “Lightweight Content Protection, LCP”, was first released and applied in Europe. It uses license technology to protect the content in the two layers, providing an e-lending mode of lower cost for the library, while protecting the privacy of users and optimizing their reading experience. It is expected to solve the copyright problems between e-book publishers, platform operators and libraries. This article cites the foreign data in order to provide reference for domestic e-book copyright protection and libraries’ e-lending service.

This paper investigates the status of health information service in American libraries. We systematically analyze their organizations, projects, the reward mechanism, content and audiences. Drawing upon their advanced experience, we conclude with recommendations in the hope of expanding the library service and optimizing health information services in China.

To address the issues in marketing by domestic public libraries, such as the low awareness of marketing, the limited number of methods, and unsound mechanism, the paper studies the International Library Association (IFLA) International Marketing Award project as the breakthrough point. Through a basic introduction to IFLA Marketing Award and the winning projects, the paper uses case study method to research and analyze the first prize winner: “Inspiration Lab Launch Campaign of Vancouver Public Library” of the 13th IFLA marketing award. The paper discusses the novelty of the content, target groups, multiple network marketing channels and marketing evaluation, and then puts forward deep thoughts on public library marketing of our country.

In the text data, knowledge representation is abstract, unstructured, and latent. It is difficult to find knowledge by co-occurrence, rule or association. Based on Word2Vec, this paper proposes to utilize the WP-Word2Vec model with word attribute, and designs knowledge discovery model based on word vector. Experiments show that the WP-Word2Vec model can integrate word class information into the training word vector, and the similarity in the similar word discovery is improved.

In this paper, co-word analysis is applied to the text file to explore the semantic relevance of the text topic. Since text file is different from the science literature, andlacks keywords, the author uses the topic model to reduce the dimensionality of the text, and uses the topic words generated by LDA as the research object of co-word analysis. The experiment results show that the medium frequency words can better reflect the theme of the text. Therefore, the author uses Zipf’s law and the same frequency theory to select medium frequency words as the topic words set, calculates the semantic association strength with co-word analysis, and clusters the topic words using K-means clustering algorithm. The author then makes an experiment with the news text relevant to “innovation and entrepreneurship”, and concludes that this method can reflect the semantic relevance of the theme of the text better.

The dataset of Chinese electronic journals resources access behavior in the field of humanities and social sciences at Fudan University in 2016 was collected through the ERU system. The dataset has 26 fields with a total of 2182755 records, which is complete, accurate and representative. It has rich value for many research directions such as subject hotspot analysis, user behavior analysis, and electronic resource demand analysis.

Hong Liangji (1746-1809) is a important charactor in the Qing Dynasty. Mr. Li Jinsong’s works——the Chronicle of Hong Liangji’s Life was published in April 2015, It is quite helpful for us to understand Hong Liangji’s life. Because of the lack of the data, there are also many problems in this book, especially not enough response to Hong Liangji’s academic activities. This article uses more information to supplement the lack of this book.

Zhongjing Xinbu changed its book classification from the six division method of Qilüe into four division method for it’s a preservation catalog compiled by librarians. Zhongjing Xinbu’s four divisions aren’t used as a classification but number of stacks,it was actually divided into fourteen categories. Through comparing Zhongjing Xinbu with other books and Historical background analysis,we found that Zhongjing Xinbu was definitely not a simple transcript of titles of books and volumes,its author was very likely to have transcribed essentials from books it included and compiled a catalog that has character of cyclopedia.

General Catalogue of Chinese Pedigrees is a milestone in the history of the Chinese pedigree study. The quantity and quality of its entries about Huizhou pedigrees are much better than previous similar works. However, due to objective circumstances, these entries still have some flaws and need to be improved.
