Targeted poverty alleviation is the focus of poverty alleviation, while cultural poverty alleviation is a significant component of targeted poverty alleviation. Although the focus of university libraries is on higher education, they also undertake the basic responsibilities of social services. Therefore, in the process of targeted poverty alleviation, it is necessary for university libraries not only to actively participate, but also to accurately identify and highlight the talent and literature advantages of universities. University library’s role in poverty alleviation should be in line with the working philosophy of “the dual support of education and ambition”. On the basis of full investigation and practices, this paper puts forward a poverty alleviation system specific to university library, and makes further exploration based on the practices of Chongqing University Library in the frontline of poverty alleviation.

The bookless library is applicable to libraries with natural science disciplines, more premises and sufficient funds. The bookless library is a new model of library development in the future, which will make the library truly move towards the development of smart libraries. 

Reading promotion service is developing rapidly, but the development of cultural creative products is relatively weak in libraries, whereas the research combining both is rare. This article introduced the integrated practices of cultural property creation and reading promotion activities in the fields of traditional culture dissemination and classic reading by Beijing Normal University. The author summarized the advantage of combining reading promotion and cultural property/product creation, and proposed the development and application strategy of academic library in the regard. 

This paper makes an empirical study on the types and influencing factors of university students’ reading behaviors through questionnaire. Through K-Means clustering analysis of the answers to the questionnaire, it is proposed that the reading behaviors of university students can be divided into three types: emotional/entertainment type, rational/profession type and aimless type. It is verified by multinomial logistic regression analysis how conscious a student is of information affects his/her reading behavior types. The more conscious a student is of information, the more they tend to read rationally for profession or emotionally for entertainment rather than read aimlessly. Information literacy education, family factors and extroversion factors have positive and significant influence on the information consciousness of students and indirectly affect students’ reading behaviors. It provides basis and reference for universities to carry out information literacy education. 

Shanghai Library is one of the few libraries whose lectures all require reservation.

This paper compares the number of application and that of attendance via the WeChat platform, and finds that the attendance rate is great.

With the increasing popularity of digital tools in humanities research, the paper tries to take the virtual community of humanities academics as a subject to explore the characteristics of communication behavior of humanities scholars, especially their difficulties in obtaining and using digital tools. The study uses the XL section of the GX community as the data source, applies a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The study concluded with 6 basic findings, including: (1) The humanities scholars hold an ambiguous view on tools; (2) The most commonly used and most problematic digital tools for humanities scholars are office software and e-books; (3) Access to digital tools is the most common difficulty; (4) Humanities virtual community has proved to be a very effective way to solve difficulties in the use of digital tools; (5) It’s necessary to pay attention to the improvement of the digital literacy and information literacy of humanities researches; (6) The information service institutions, such as libraries and archives, have a low sense of existence in the humanities academic virtual community, but they are still indispensable. 

The semantic web technologies have been identified as a key enabler for digital humanities. However, the complexity of the semantic web stack raises the threshold for digital humanities. This paper provides a framework of digital humanities semantic support system, which aims to guide the semantic construction of digital humanities resources and provide knowledge service. The platform includes Linked Data Transformation Service (LDTS), Linked Data Query Service (LDQS), Linked Data Reasoning Service (LDPS), Linked Data Publishing Service (LDPS), Linked Data Knowledge Service (LDKS) and Linked Data Computing Service (LDCS). In the components, LDTS, LDTS and LDQS are the basic modules of a semantic application platform, whereas the others the optional ones. The DHRS has been successfully applied to the digital humanities project of East China Normal University (ECNU-DHRS). In addition, ECNU-DHRS also integrates multiple technologies, such as GIS, MARKUS and International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), which will support the digital humanities research. 

Most practices of digital humanities were made by a single organization or institution and executed by one project for one topic model. Serious problems occurred, as current applications couldn’t meet the needs of digital transformation of multi-source heterogeneous information in huge volume, resource are being wasted in repeated constructions, and data correlation and sharing can hardly be realized due to the lack of standards. This paper provides a framework of digital humanities artificial intelligence platform, which builds a closed-loop for machine automation in workflow and shares the tools and technologies. It also introduces the details of digital humanities artificial intelligence platform on the infrastructure level, platform level, service level, as well as application level. In addition, it takes the Digital Humanities Artificial Intelligence Platform in East China Normal University (ECNU-DHAI) as an example and introduces its framework, computing resources, OCR function and crowdsourcing model.

Digital humanities is a cross field of traditional history, literature,computer, and multimedia, of which text analysis and text mining are important aspects. The complexity of ancient works in terms of text also becomes the main difficulty of digital humanities research. As one of the three pillars of Chinese history, genealogy has important research value. From the perspective of digital humanities and taking the genealogy of the Zhuangs in Piling as the corpus, the paper visually presents the situation and changes of the family marriage in Jiangnan region through basic statistical analysis and social network analysis. In addition,the paper provides a new way to study the relationship between genealogical characters by means of digital humanities.

The rise of the newspaper in the 20th century reflected the prosperity of Shanghai’s commerce and culture where advertisement about cultural activities played an important role. A number of such old materials have been photocopied and published online by Shanghai Library at Cnbksy.com. However, it is often difficult to reveal information content contained in image resources via meta-data descriptions. Further utilization is thus restricted.Shaoxing Opera, the most popular drama in Shanghai, is one of the intangible cultural heritages of China, of which newspaper advertising is too old-fashioned to attract much attention on large-scale social labeling or machine labeling. Inheritance and dissemination are two major needs of intangible cultural heritages, where image plays a key role in reflecting the connotation of resources and satisfying the needs of users.In this paper, newspaper advertisement from 1923 to 1949 of Shaoxing Opera was selected as subjects. It combines the semantic model and the techniques of IIIF to reveal the text information covered by the images more accurately. It is helpful for humanities scholars to make better use of the advertising resources of old newspapers, and is beneficial to the spread of intangible cultural heritages culture.

The open data of the intangible cultural heritage list (ICH list) is the key to digital construction and management of all intangible cultural heritage resources. To understand the standardization of the ICH lists and to further investigate the quality of the lists, the paper takes six provinces in western China as examples, adopts the network survey and content analysis respectively in terms of data acquisition and analysis, conducts a general investigation on the standardization of the open data, and creates a multidimensional evaluation mechanism.The study has found that there are a series of problems regarding quality, among which the problem of inconsistency is the most severe. Moreover, both the normalization and openness of the evaluation results need to be improved.This paper provides practical suggestions for the activation, development and utilization of intangible cultural heritage digital resources.

At present, the book evaluation system is mostly based on external characteristics and lacks qualitative evaluation indicators, which makes it difficult to reflect the quality of books. This study attempts to introduce book review indicators that reveal the quality of books in the evaluation system, in order to make a useful exploration of the quality of Chinese books. Based on the high-frequency indicators of existing research, 16 secondary indicators are selected from traditional metrics, altmetrics, and book review indicators to construct an evaluation system consisting of three dimensions, namely, book utilization, book attention and book review. By using sentiment analysis to process book review data and by applying the CRITIC method to determine the weight of indicators, this paper makes an empirical analysis by taking psychology books as the sample. The reliability of evaluation system is analyzed by reliability and validity test. The empirical results show that the evaluation system thus constructed is reliable and can be used for comprehensive evaluation of psychology books; and that book review indexes can screen out books with high content quality and provide reference for bibliographic recommendations and other activities requring quality evaluation of books

Zhang Xuecheng focuses on “the forest of the works of the world”. He took the Warring States period as the node to separate the entire academic world as the “source of three generations of prosperity” and the “flow of after the three generations”. He divided them into dual realms, “on the way” and “off the way”. Besides, he is a deeply self-proclaimed “school of literature and history”, aimed at analyzing the necessity and viable path to the “source” of “on the way” in later academics’s “out of the way”. Therefore, constitute the three characteristics of Zhang Xuecheng’s study on academic history. That is to say, he faced the whole academic world rather than a specific academic category; secondely focused on the “source” and “flow” of the dual judgment rather than the outline of the long-range academic history, and he determined to reform the academic rather than only satisfied with the interpretation. These characteristics make him go beyond the general sense of academic history writing

The current relevant work and most of the bibliography considered two editions of Dui Shan Shu Wu Mo Yu Lu, one was a block-printed edition engraved by Mr. Wu in 1870, and the other was a block-printed edition engraved by Mao Xianglin in 1874. However, the block-printed edition engraved by Mr. Wu in 1870 was only a kind of reprinted editions instead of the original one, the earliest edition. The block-printed edition engraved in 1870 and carved by Mao Xianglin was identified as the original edition, and the edition by Mr. Wu was reprinted from it. Moreover, the edition by Mr. Yang was reprinted based on Mr. Wu’s edition. The block-printed edition engraved by Mao Xianglin in 1874 was considered the better version. It was built on the edition in 1870 by Mr. Mao.
