Socialization is an important reform of public libraries in terms of systems and mechanism.
There are three major driving forces for the socialization, namely, the mission of public libraries, the
transformation of government functions, and their new tasks in the New Era. We should clarify the
positioning of public libraries and must not change their attribute of being “public”. There are many
means of socialization, including cooperative services, outsourcing certain business, volunteer services,
library established by social forces, and social forces joining in library governance. We should clarify the
principles and boundaries of such socialization process and pay attention to the essential difference between
“socialization” and “marketization”, the scope of commercialized operations, the responsibility during
outsourcing, the role of libraries in government purchases, and the rational use of volunteers. Reading
promotion, central-branch system development, R&D on cultural and creative products, online to offline
services, and involvement in decision-making are the key breakthroughs in the socialization process of
public libraries.

The development of digital publishing industry is the most important environmental
factor affecting library’s e-book service mode. Based on the investigation of digital publishing at home
and abroad, this paper introduces the development trend of e-book industry, analyzes and discusses its
impact on library e-book service mode, and provides advice for library to better develop e-book service.
This paper discusses the content supply, platform type, terminal support, and service of library e-book
service from the perspective of the complete e-book industry chain. It introduces some relevant cases, and
discusses the various service models of library’s e-book service. Finally, it introduces the principles of
library’s e-book service and tips to provide better service for readers in view of the changes of their reading
habits

The paper makes an analysis of e-book service targeting at the general public based on
questionnaires taken by domestic e-book providers for libraries, including integrators and publishers.
From the aspects of resource development, technical characteristics and business model, the status quo and
development of representative popular e-book services are analyzed. Popular e-book platforms suffer from
a couple of prevalent problems such as the small proportion of new arrivals, the low synchronization rate
of paper books and e-books, and the poor reading experience. At the same time, the difficulty in integrating
resources between suppliers also make it less easy for libraries to provide unified services. The paper,
therefore, proposes to e-book providers to increase the openness of data, and to promote e-book reading
after studying users’ reading behavior in collaboration with libraries.

Shanghai Library has explored many ways in providing e-book services, such as e-book reader
lending, building a reading platform with metadata integration, and developing reading app and related
digital reading hardware. These, however, cannot effectively address the issues of poor content quality,
copyright infringement and less desirable user experience. And now there is a new attempt to enhance the
digital reading experience on the part of Shanghai Library by purchasing and processing EPUB format
e-books independently and using open source software to build its own e-book platform. This paper mainly
introduces the main structure, function modules and related design concepts of the platform.

In order to investigate into the reading habits and preferences of post-00s college students,
and to put forward tailored reading guidance strategies, this paper conducts a questionnaire survey among
universities in many cities throughout the country, carries out statistical analysis of the survey results, and
makes a comparative study. The results show that, although the reading status of the post-00s freshmen is
not ideal, they hold positive feelings and respect for paper reading and classics reading, which indicates
good foundations for reading promotion. Based on the survey data and comparative analysis, the paper
puts forward reading guidance strategies that consist of 1) optimizing library reading promotion work
planning, 2) implementing detailed guidance mechanisms for reader groups of different subjects, 3) taking
classics as the core of reading promotion work, 4) promoting in-depth reading by way of paper books,
5) giving full play to the impact of experts and senior students, 6) enhancing the connotation and fun of
reading activities, and 7) launching reading programs supporting college students’ academic achievement
and spiritual improvement. The paper illustrates the effectiveness of the strategies with exemplary
cases.

This paper comprehensively and systematically combs the development course of the

and the transforming evaluation system of academic libraries since the beginning of this century, the paper
mainly discusses and analyzes the theoretical innovation and practical exploration of how to establish
the assessment system of university libraries with the characteristics of Hainan Province. The process is
believed to have provided a new paradigm for assessment system development for domestic university
libraries.

Readers’ misbehaviors have recently become a common concern and bottleneck for public
libraries, and especially their front-line service. After the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Public
Libraries was enacted, there is an urgent need for carrying out relevant investigation and establishing
appropriate implementation rules. Based on research and investigation, this paper introduces and analyses
the management strategies of major public libraries at home and abroad. The paper also makes some
recommendations on effective management in view of the author’s working experiences in Shanghai
Library.

On the basis of the practices of “City Book Room” of Minhang District of Shanghai, the paper
compares “City Book Room” with public library, identifying its characteristics and its supplementary function

service, and service improvement for the sustainable development of the “City Book Room”.

Think tank service can effectively increase the impact of libraries and is one of the development
potentials of university libraries. Zhejiang University Library has made effective attempts in the recent
years. This research, commissioned by the National Science and Technology Award Office, summarizes
the characteristics of successful practices regarding think tank service. We identify the plural intelligence
research team, inter-collaboration mechanism beyond institutions, and abundant collection as essential for
the think tank service, whereas the lack of macro-perspective and low policy sensitivity the obstacles.
Finally, we provide suggestions on collaborating with external entities and building a high-level expert
network for think tank service.

In the retrieval results, the hierarchical relationship of knowledge is hidden. We use hLDA
model to analyze the hierarchical topic, reveal the path of the topic in the retrieval results, and thus
provide knowledge service of high quality. First, we realize the preprocessing of the retrieval results by
building the professional knowledge database. Secondly, we obtain the hierarchical topic structure through
reasonable super parameter sampling. Lastly, combined with visualization technology, we describe the
hidden knowledge of academic information retrieval. Experiments show that this method is effective for
visual analysis of retrieved results. Compared with the classical hierarchical clustering method, the results
are more readable.

 The evaluation of social impact of scientific and technological projects has received global
attention. Altmetrics, as a new evaluation method based on social media, has potential value to be applied
to the evaluation of scientific and technological projects. This paper analyzes the feasibility of introducing
Altmetrics into the evaluation of scientific and technological projects, constructs the social impact
evaluation framework and evaluation method based on Altmetrics, and conducts empirical analysis with
Plum Analytics. The analysis results show that Altmetrics provides new ideas, new ways and new tools for
the evaluation of social impact of scientific and technological projects, which can be used as a supplemental
evaluation method for scientific and technological projects. 

The Zhouyi Zhengyi, Shangshu Zhengyi, Liji Zhengyi and Chunqiu Zhengyi with Yang
Shoujing’s preface and postscript are the witnesses for Yang’s books-searching in Japan. They have special
values that cannot be replaced by the records books as Riben Fangshuzhi. These books are master copies of
the single-copied edition of four Confucian classics block-printed by Liu Chenggan’s Jiayetang, which is
of great significance to know the block-printed by Liu Chenggan. However, these books collected in Fudan
University Library are obscure. And so far, no scholars has special exploration towards the four books.
The paper focus on the four books, aims to straighten out the sequence of events, and analysis of their
special values of witness of the return of ancient Chinese books and records from Japan, the heritage of the
single-copied edition of Confucian classics which have been stopped for seven hundred years, the textual
research of single-copied edition of Confucian classics block-printed by Jiayetang and the preservation of
the unpublished preface and postscript of Yang Shoujing. It is recommended that these rare books should
be photocopied and published.

Li Dongyang is one of the most significant writers in the literary history of the Ming dynasty. He
writes lots of great works during his life. Li Dongyang Collection by Zhou Yinbin and Li Dongyang Sequel
by Qian Zhenmin are two of the most complete collections of Li Dongyang’s works so far. Nevertheless,
some of his works are still uncollected into the two collections because he likes traveling and inscribes too
many poems. The thesis identified 4 articles and 1 poem and gave corresponding explanation. These works
have some value in the study of Li Dongyang’s life, acquaintanceship and literary thought.

The western learning books compiled from 1880 to 1904 are now in a series, which mainly
reflect the diachronic changes in the cognition of western learning. Analysis by name, this batch of
bibliography has the different appellation such as translation book, western learning, thing learning, new
learning, science almost. From the perspective of connotation, it has experienced a process of continuous
expansion from pattern and structure (natural science) to social science and then to humanities. However,
the change of classification system involves the determination of the focus of western learning and the
balance of the academic value of different literatures, which has become a systematic statement of academic
transformation. Therefore, the development of bibliography of western learning is not only the evolution of
literature order, but also the evolution of academic coordinates. It presents different standards to measure
the value of knowledge and different schemes to distribute knowledge power, and directly corresponds to
the path selection of the future and destiny of a country in different contexts
