The research of the editions of Mao Zedong’s works published in the New Democratic Revolution Period (1919-1949) will contribute to promoting and deepening the research on “Mao Zedong Thoughts”, and the understanding of the intrinsic connection and deep root of “Xi Jinping’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” in the new era and “Mao Zedong Thoughts”. This paper takes statistical samples of bibliographic data from the “Union Catalogue of Documents in the Republic of China Period” of National Library of China based on bibliographic authority control, and retrieves 203 titles in 1128 editions altogether. It further analyzes the literature editions, publication years, distribution pattern of publishers of Mao Zedong’s works during New Democratic Revolution Period, and the collecting situation of abovementioned editions. It then compares the result with other research findings, like The Chronicle of the Editions on Words of Mao Zedong. Hopefully this research will contribute more to inheriting revolutionary culture and strengthening our confidence in the socialist path, theories, system and culture with Chinese characteristics.

There are few people who study mimeographed publications in the early years of the communist party. This paper takes mimeographed red publications as a whole as the research object, including three aspects which are the definition, type and the meaning of the mimeographed red publications. 

During the period of the Republic of China, Western learning methodology was introduced, and Philology in the modern sense came into being. The general works of philology during this period played an important role in the construction of the discipline system, and also practically guided today’s discipline development. Upon sorting out the evolution of the academic context of documentary science in the Republic of China period, the paper analyses the existing researches in the hope of promoting the research of general theoretical works of philology science of the Republic of China period. In view of problems such as uneven distribution of research results, narrow research fields and lack of variety in research methods, we fully exploit and utilize the existing historical materials, expand the research content, and adopt the theories and methods of metrological history, psychological history, E-Delphi method, internal and external history for reference as the starting point of future research

In the era of big data, digital technology provides new methods, new tools, new platforms and new content for humanities research, and promotes the transformation of humanities research paradigms and research contents. A comparative analysis of the digital humanities research at home and abroad can provide reference for the research and practice in this field in China. Based on CNKI and WoS databases, the paper utilized Vosviewer and other analysis tools to explore the evolution of the digital humanities research at home and abroad. It comprehensively revealed the history, current situation and development direction of digital humanities research, and fully reflected the research status of digital humanities at home and abroad by means of cooperative network map and hot topic map. Furthermore, the paper put forward proposals according to the relevant domestic research and development status.

The enhancement of public cultural service capacity is directly related to the construction of modern public cultural service system and is the key factor to promoting the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity. Based on the panel data of 31 provinces from 2010 to 2016, this paper constructs an evaluation index system of the public cultural services capacity from the aspects of supporting force, pressure and regulatory force. On this basis, it conducts an empirical study whose results show that: (1) there are great differences in the supporting force, pressure and regulating force of public cultural services in 31 provinces, and whereas the internal structure, capacity level and the changing trend of capacity are also different. (2) such capacity is influenced by economic development, population size and residents’ education level, but it still depends to a large extent on the support and control level of public cultural services, the supply and output status of public cultural services, capital input and policy support; (3) on the whole, the capacity of public cultural services in the eastern region is better than that in the western region, whereas the latter is better than that in the central region. 

Author keyword, representing core content of the paper, is one of the most important elements of scientific papers. This study used Kaplan-Meier curve to investigate the survival of author keywords in library and information science in China, which can provide more insights to the evolution of a topic or discipline. Firstly, we obtained all the papers published by thirteen journals on library and information science from 1998 to 2018, which are indexed in the CSSCI database. Then the Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the survival of author keywords whereas the Log Rank and Breslow test were used to verify the differences of survival of author keywords between different disciplines and between different types of journals. The results showed that the author keywords survival curve in the field of library and information science declined rapidly in the first year, followed by a slow downward trend, and that the average survival time of author keywords was 2.245 years. Moreover, we found that the average survival time of author keywords in information science is longer than that in library science, and there is a significant difference at the level of 0.001. In addition, the average survival time of author keywords in authoritative journals is longer than that of core journals, and there is a significant difference at 0.001 level. In this study, the Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to the study of the survival of author keywords, revealing the patterns of survival of author keywords in the field of library and information science in China, which can provide a new research perspective for topic evolution analysis.

Health information literacy is helpful for improving general public’s access to and use of health information, and developing the general public’s positive and rational behaviors in a health crisis. This paper collected related scholarly works on health information literacy, health literacy, and information literacy, and analyzed these studies from the aspects of awareness, access, evaluation and use of health information. The paper suggested some future research directions that could be considered in China in the area of healthy information literacy. 

The worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic not only burdens health care systems but also challenges people’s health information literacy. To study the effects of the health information literacy of patients with mild symptoms, which account for 80% of all confirmed infected cases, on their recovery, and to advise the public on improving public health information literacy for better responding to public health emergencies, this study investigated patients tested positive with new coronavirus pneumonia through a questionnaire survey. We analyzed the sample patients’ health information needs, access, assessment and decision-making behavior during different phases of infection. We found that the need for health information at different periods is significantly different. More authoritative sources have been accessed when the patients received more treatments. More willingness to use reliable health information was found among the younger patients who got recovered after treatments. However, the elder patients still showed a lack of awareness of health information. Therefore, this paper suggested that all people should focus on building a knowledge system of health information before any symptoms show, identify health information sources and improve information assessment abilities when symptoms show, and pay more attention to psychological health against second victimization when they recover after treatment. The elderly patients should be aware of the effectiveness of health information, expand their health knowledge, and improve healthy information retrieving skills.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, World Health Organization (WHO) put forward a new concept: Infodemic. Social media users receive and share a great amount of information every day. Excessive information of mixed quality, which is the typical feature of Infodemic, goes beyond users’ information processing ability and become a cognitive burden for them. It harms people’s physical and mental health. This paper employs the SSO model in social psychology as the theoretical framework, studies the influence of Infodemic on college-students’ social media negative information behavior by using fatigue and psychological reactance as mediator variables. It collects data through questionnaires and uses SPSS 25.0 and AMOS24.0 for confirmatory factor analysis and hypothesis testing. It reveals that overloaded information delivered by social media and overloaded information sharing have significant positive effects on fatigue and psychological reactance; low-quality information including rumors and disinformation has significant positive effects on psychological reactance; users’ fatigue and psychological reactance have significant positive effects on ignoring and shielding behavior on social media. It further discusses how to alleviate the negative influence of Infodemic on college students from the perspectives of social media management and the improvement of information literacy. This research has important practical implications for the guidance of the normative mobile information behavior of college students.

Due to the global pandemic of the new coronavirus, and against the backdrop of nation-wide “stay at home”, the public’s demand for online consultation, online inquiry and access to health information has increased significantly, which also requires the public to have electronic health information literacy. This paper first sorts out the research on electronic health information literacy at home and abroad. It further analyzes the specific content of the American National Health Education Standard (NHES), and how the public could access and use the trustworthy and reliable information by applying the 8 standards and 42 indicators in the NHES during the outbreak of the new Coronavirus Pneumonia (COVID-19). Finally, based on China’s national conditions, the countermeasures to improve the public’s electronic health information literacy in major public health emergencies, are discussed.

By way of analyzing the obstacles of public health information screening and their causes, this paper points out the significance of public health education in improving public health information screening capabilities during public health emergencies, and the advantages of medical libraries in promoting public health education. According to the 4R crisis management theory, it divides the public health education conducted by medical libraries during public health emergencies into four phases: reduction, readiness, response, and recovery periods. Taking the Institute of Medical Information/Library of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences as an example, this paper introduces its initiatives and user satisfaction survey during the period of prevention and control to COVID-19. The public was found to be highly satisfied with the authenticity of health information, the usefulness of health information, the security of health information systems, and the professionalism of services provided by IMI & Library. Timeliness of health information, system response speed, personalized services, and public awareness of the services are in need of improvement.

At present, the library’s virtual reference service system has problems such as inefficient service, poor user experience and insufficient multimedia support, which leads to the low utilization rate of the system. We designed and implemented an intelligent virtual reference service system based on the WeChat by using the interface of WeChat public platform and Baidu AI open platform. The system introduces the new version of “WeChat Customer Service Function” and “Baidu UNIT” (Understanding and Interaction Technology), and benefits both users and reference librarians/system administrators. For users, this system can provide intelligent response, knowledge base retrieval, online consultation, multi-media form consultation, and push and query consultation results. For reference librarians/system administrators, this system can provide customer service personnel management, push and reply consultation information, knowledge base management, and sharing and consultation record management. The result showed that the system improved the mode of virtual reference service and provides library users with more convenient and fast reference service.

The dataset of Chinese electronic journals access behavior at Fudan University in 2017 was collected by the ERU system. There are 3,074,443 records totally in the dataset after data cleaning and masking. The dataset has rich research and application value in identifying the electronic resources demand of university users, understanding the academic information behavior, tracing the hotspots and trends of disciplines, and developing data-driven intelligent libraries and smart libraries.

The dataset of Chinese electronic journals access behavior at Fudan University in 2018 was collected by ERU system with 3,131,612 records in total. In contrast with the data collected by traditional social science research methods such as questionnaires and interviews, data collected by ERU system can overcome the problems of observer effect and hawthorne effect. The dataset has rich value in studying features and modes of information behavior, and can be used in developing smart libraries and relevant research.

The manuscript of Notes of Mr. No Yard-Wedding written by Tao Xingzhi has been newly discovered in Shanghai Library. It is recognized as the first draft of “Talk of Mr. No Yard-Wedding” in the column of Free-Talk of Shun Pao. First of all, this paper intends to observe the process of Tao Xingzhi’s conception, creation and publication of his articles from the perspective of Genetic Criticism, to find the changes of his later printed and published texts, and to investigate the real writing status of Tao Xingzhi as a patriotic educator and thinker in a specific social background. Secondly, this paper also explores the great efforts that Shun Pao has made, as a frontier of public opinion for propagating progressive thoughts, to fight against the literature encirclement and suppression and to awaken people’s conscience with the close cooperation of progressives.

The rare book Shuo Yuan, collected in the Oriental Literature Research Center of Russian National Library, was considered to be the Song Dynasty by edition scholars of Qing Dynasty and contemporary times, and it even could be Northern Song Dynasty’s edition. But after the visual inspection and comparison, we confirm the Yun Qian edition was printed in seven years of Dade of Yuan Dynasty. The first reason it is mistaken by these scholars is that Yun Qian’s postscript was cut off; the second is the only word “構” in the Southern Song Dynasty’s edition has not been found to avoid the taboo of Northern Song Dynasty; the third is that it is not personally witnessed and scholars repeated the baseless assertion. The three parts of Dade edition are not as good as the Russian version in printing and preservation. More attention should be paid by scholars to the version and academic value of Shuo Yuan, collected in the Russian National Library.
