In the 70 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, especially in the 40 years
after the reform and opening up, the library development in China has released great energies. From the
initial extensive development to the current high-quality development, the library has kept pace with the
social development. Today, all walks of life are facing transformation. For libraries, transformation is both a
challenge and an opportunity, and it enables every library to be on the same starting line. This paper proposes
to synchronize with the requirements of the time and promote digital transformation; synchronize with users’
expectations and improve quality services; synchronize with global development and expand international
perspectives. We must firmly grasp the new opportunities and sail to the great ocean of development with the
trend, take advantages of the momentum, and promote the development of libraries to a new height.

This paper reviews how Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Zhang Shenfu and Mao Zedong propagated
Marxism and established the Communist Party of China when working at the Peking University Library.
Taking Du Dingyou and Liu Guojun’s library career as examples, this paper discusses the usefulness
of library science and observes that library science is the science about libraries, and dedication to the
development of libraries is the most basic spirit of library science.

This paper uses co-word analysis and word frequency analysis to analyze the thematic
direction, evolution characteristics, research hotspots, and frontiers of big data research in the field of
international library and information science. The results show that six research directions of different
scales have formed in the field, namely, business intelligence and big data analysis, artificial intelligence
and information science, social network analysis and social media, data ethics and personal privacy,
information technology and information management, as well as library and data literacy. Big data, artificial
intelligence, data analysis, and data mining have always been the focus of the academic circle, while social
media, machine learning, sentiment analysis have become new research hotspots in 2018. The topics of data
management, information systems, knowledge management, machine learning, and the Internet of Things
have become the frontier topics in the current research.

With the further development and application of big data technologies in libraries, data-driven
research on library user behaviors is gradually emerging. According to the statistical analysis results of
the domestic and foreign research literatures in this domain, this paper reviews the development trends
and changes during the past decades. Through the social network analysis on keywords appearing in
these research literatures, this paper reveals the current research contents and hot topics in this area. We
demonstrate the basic concepts and theories of data-driven research on library user behaviors from four
aspects: concept definitions, research contents, research methods and practical applications. Moreover, we
summarize the main contents and study methods of existing research, tring to present a current overview
of this area. In the meantime, several new trends in this domain are summarized in this paper, including
research paradigm shifting, research granularity refinement and multi-source data fusion. We also discuss
the direction and challenges of future development from the aspects of data privacy and protection, data
storage and integration, model selection and evaluation, data product development, and their impact on
library services.

The Indian Copyright Act provides for a wide range of library exceptions. The library copying,
lending and preservation exceptions enable the library to use copyrighted works fully and effectively to
serve the public interest. In order to guarantee the right of the disabled to access information and knowledge
and to enable the public to access orphan works through libraries, India also stipulates library exceptions to
promote the use by the disabled and the use of orphan works. As a developing country, China should learn
from the experience of India, and further clarify and expand the scope of application of library copyright
exceptions in our copyright law.

The Construction of Prosopography Database based on Multisource
Data Fusion from the Perspective of Digital Humanities:
Taking Shanghai Library’s 2018 Open Data Application
Development Competition Work “Great Educator of the 20th
Century in China” as an Example

 The statistical work is the basis for academic libraries to carry out the evaluation work, and
it is an important means for academic libraries to conduct scientific management. Through the analysis
of the development of academic libraries in the new era and the current statistical indicator system of
Chinese academic libraries, this paper proposed some principles and development ideas of constructing a
new generation of academic library’s statistical indicator system

After collecting and collating the English Humanities and Social Sciences Journal, a total of
68 (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), the paper makes a statistical analysis of them in terms of
subject distribution, start time of publication, publishing cycle, publishers, and geographical distribution.
It summarizes the current status of English journals in humanities and social sciences. It is found that more
policy support and a better academic evaluation mechanism are needed to boost the development of these
journals as well as their global impact. Proposals are given to this end.

The ongoing reading promotion activities have promoted the deepening of research on user
knowledge resources. By learning from the “Readers’ Salon” of Shanghai Jinshan Library, the paper
explores the application of readers’ knowledge resources through Readers’ Salon activities, and taps
library’s cultural value during the reading promotion activities. It reveals that readers provide knowledge or
intellectual support for the library while obtaining services from it. The paper focuses on how libraries can
actively understand, develop and gather readers from the perspective of user resource construction, making
readers a new energy source for the library to carry out social services in the long run.

With the birth and development of data-intensive scientific discovery research paradigm, and
the deepening of theoretical research and practical exploration of scientific data sharing, The uncontrolled
sharing of scientific data has caused the outflow of some scientific data in China and attracted the attention of
the relevant departments. The control of key scientific data outflow is urgently needed. This paper discusses
the phenomena of the outflow of scientific data and the associated problems. And some countermeasures
are proposed. The outflow of scientific data in China is mainly manifest in the publication, storage and
submission of data papers, data sets, and paper data to foreign platforms. The problems are mainly reflected
in economic interests, periodical construction, scientific research, data security and so on. We can cope with
the outflow of scientific data in China by formulating norms, building platforms, supporting and guiding
journals, protecting data, and encourage library’s participation.

This paper proposed a new citation analysis method based on ontology and linked data by
way of combining ontology, linked data technology and citation analysis. The purpose was to make use of
semantic technology to reveal the citation relationships among academic documents, and to create a new
citation analysis method in the semantic publishing environment. First of all, the highly cited literature
in the citation analysis field of CSSCI database was selected to compose the experiment data set. Then, a
Bibliographic Citation Ontology (BCO) was constructed to normalize the citation data and to publish RDF
triples as citation linked data. Finally, the authors constructed different SPARQL queries to extract the
bibliographic citation information in multiple dimensions. They also analyzed the citation times, citation
authors, citation journals, and multi-dimensional situation in detail, hoping to verify the feasibility of
this method. The citation analysis method based on ontology and linked data has certain feasibility and
practicability. It is worthy of consideration by scientific researchers.

A relatively complete set of trans-border data flow laws and regulations have taken shape
in European Union and U.S., which is of great significance for global business activities and economic
growth. Using literature review and comparative analysis, the paper analyzes these laws and regulations, as
well as their main differences and similarities. The conclusions are as follows: the differences mainly exist
in patterns, legislative basis and value orientation; yet they both try to maintain the balance between the
trans-border data flow and economic interests. China should play to the full the “Chinese wisdom” so as to
actively greet the challenge of trans-border data flow.

This paper combs the research and practice of foreign library in terms of cultural and creative
products, summarizes their experience, and provides reference for the development of domestic libraries.
Based on the websites and literature research, the paper summarizes the experience regarding product
positioning, product design and product operation. It provides proposals for domestic libraries’ related work
from the perspectives of market demands, cultural connotation, the practical functions, the aesthetic value,
awareness of publicity, and open cooperation.

Since The Complete Works of Qian Daxin was published, many scholars have noted plenty
of lost articles in different ancient books and written papers to introduce them. This paper points out that
Record of the Reconstructed Zhumingsi was collected in The Local Chronicles of Suzhou and Preface
of Strategies of the Warring States Period was collected in Series of Shiliju. Through literature analysis,
we can confirm they were exactly created by Qian Daxin in 1793 and 1803. These two lost articles may
contribute to academic research in the area of Qian Daxin’s life and academic thought.

Zhang Tingyu was a great statesman at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, whose articles have
been collected in Zhang Tingyu Quanji published by Anhui University Press in 2015. There are 55 prefaces
in Zhang Tingyu Quanji, but some prefaces have been lost yet. This paper compiles the other 8 prefaces.

Analyzing the questions about the main versions of Lieguo Zhizhuan in the Ming Dynasty, the
paper demonstrates the earliest version is Shulin Yuwentai, analyses the relationship between the various
versions, and corrects the errors of Sun Kaidi and Zheng Zhenduo. Finally, the paper indicates the edition’s
problem of Guben Xiaoshuo Jicheng.
