Library is a rapidly evolving space in modern history. Its social function and architectural type have tremendously expanded. Libraryness is a key indicator of the relationship between this spatial type and the era and the city space. This article interprets the formal archetype of the Shanghai Library East in relation to the spatial topology archetype of the Mobile City model from a topographical perspective. It argues that the Shanghai Library East is created as a humanist landmark in Shanghai, between the near-natural environment and the high-density urban space in the far. The architectural space serves as a metaphor for Shanghai’s various cultural life through inclusiveness and openness.

Metaverse is a virtual-reality integration product of new Internet applications and social forms that are generated by a variety of new technologies. It is the combination and upgrade of various existing technologies. A series of new concepts and new technologies brought by Metaverse will provide a brand-new idea and method for the “smart space” service of library under construction. This article starts with the overview of Metaverse, discusses the connection between Metaverse and smart library, and, through examples of smart space technology scenarios such as reader portrait reading, virtual reader identity, digital twin, and smart book management, explores the future virtual-reality integrating form of library smart space, hoping to provide reference for the construction of library smart space.

Shanghai Library East was constructed with the philosophy of “intelligence, interconnectivity, and inclusiveness” in mind. Shanghai Library promotes the “people-centered” transformation of public libraries and innovates document service models in the process of establishing a public cultural service system during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The POD (Print on-demand) service was launched as part of this overall strategy. Starting from the introduction of the POD application areas, this paper describes how the POD service is offered at Shanghai Library East, and analyzes its role in the library. The authors believe that POD service plays a part in four aspects: (1) as an important component of the smart library, (2) help to supplement the library collection, (3) assist in expanding and extending the traditional literature service, and (4) as a new form of the library’s cross-border application of innovative services. Inspired by POD service and for the overall optimization of service efficiency, it is necessary to comprehensively coordinate the revolutionary remodeling of reader services throughout the whole cycle and all stages of process and system renovation, with the vision of a future-oriented smart library

In the era of mega-reading, it is an important direction for public libraries to improve the public’s cultural literacy through reading and to promote reading services through art. Starting from the influence and function of artworks on public libraries, this paper analyzes the characteristics and development system of artworks in public libraries at home and abroad, makes a case study on the design concept, exhibition and path mode of artworks in the Shanghai Library East, and further puts forward some suggestions on artworks in public libraries.

Children are the future of the country and the hope of the nation. Children’s librarians will play a great role in the realization of the vision 2035, because they provide library services for children and safeguard children’s cultural rights. On the basis of summarizing the current research and practice on the training of children’s librarians, this paper puts forward a preliminary framework for establishing the training mechanism of children’s librarians. In order to establish the training mechanism of children’s librarians for 2035, we need to innovate perspectives. For example, we can explore the establishment of the training mechanism of children’s librarians from the perspective of theory, children’s perspective, recruitment perspective and absorbing the experience of other fields. On the other hand, we should establish a multi-directional guarantee for the training of children’s librarians, including gradually developing professional education and training students’ professional ability, actively standardizing job recruitment and continuously promoting continuing education. At the same time, we should promote the establishment of professional organizations and cooperate with other institutions to formulate standardized documents, so as to effectively train children’s librarians to meet the needs of the new era.

We study the users’ continuance intention for provincial public cultural cloud WeChat, and explore the main factors that affect users’ continuance intention. We take S-O-R theory as the logical framework, integrate ECM-ISC and D&M theoretical models, and introduce “Flow Experience” to establish research models. A questionnaire is used to conduct a survey about the continuance intention of “Jiangsu Public Culture Cloud” WeChat users, and then SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 are used to verify the variables and assumptions contained in the model. “User Satisfaction” and “Perceived Usefulness” are the main factors that affect the users’ continuance intention to provincial public cultural cloud WeChat; “Expected Confirmation” significantly affects “Perceived Usefulness” and “Flow Experience”, and indirectly affects “User Satisfaction”; “Service Quality” significantly affects “Expected Confirmation”, and indirectly affects “Perceived Usefulness” and “Flow Experience”; and the impact of “Information Quality” on “Perceived Usefulness”, “Expected Confirmation”, and “Flow Experience” fails to be validated.

In the process of the disclosure and utilization of intangible cultural heritage(ICH) information resources, there is no unified standard, neither can the current taxonomy meet the classification requirements of ICH information resources. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the classification and organization of ICH information resources for the theoretical systematization, management and utilization. The method of domain analysis is introduced to explore the construction scheme of ICH information resource classification and organization.Taking traditional arts as an example, the specific implementation path of constructing the main table, appendix and marking system is expounded according to the construction process.The research explores the special attributes of ICH information resources, and provides a kind of organization construction idea that focuses on the ICH knowledge and classifies the information resources in a concentrated and in-depth manner, so as to reveal the multiple threads of ICH information resources. The proposed construction scheme and concrete implementation path are of certain reference value to the construction of related disciplines for classification and organization.

The development of information resources is the foundation of think tank research. Information resources of some famous think tanks in foreign countries have developed completely, thus it’s of great significance to analyze their experience. Through the investigation and case analysis of the official websites and relevant literature of foreign famous think tanks, the paper summarizes the practices and strategies of information resource development of foreign famous think tanks. Foreign famous think tanks mainly develop information resources by building their own collection resources, establishing knowledge release and query platform, constructing special database or knowledge base, and establishing various information source channels. The enlightenment to think tanks in China mainly includes taking research projects as guidance, establishing all-round information source channels, fully building and accumulating their own information resources, and actively promoting information resource sharing.

The construction of knowledge organization system is one of the key points for Library and Information Science to give full play to its disciplinary advantages and support the construction of discourse system with Chinese characteristics. Huizhou documents are representative of folk historical documents and important historical resources. This study takes the Huizhou documents for example, puts forward ideas and methods to integrate the characteristics of domain discourse system through multi-dimensional structure analysis of domain themes. Firstly, it analyses the keywords from domestic research literature in this domain since 1960. Then, it conducts subject structural analysis on the dimensions of network, community, time and subject factors. As a result, a keyword taxonomy composed of 4 subject communities with 8 subject factors is constructed, which presents the structure of the subject network, the theory and knowledge system, and the discourse system in this domain. This study not only contributes to the theory and methods of thematic structure analysis for the construction of knowledge organization system, and provides main subjects for the construction of knowledge organization system regarding Huizhou documents, but also shows the method and process of integrating the characteristics of discourse system through multi-dimensional analysis of thematic structure, and provides reference for the communication, development and innovation of discourse system in the guidance and follow-up utilization of domain discourse system in ontology construction.

Today, the sharing and reuse of scientific data has become a hot topic. More and more empirical studies on scientific data reuse are produced. This paper adopted meta-analysis method to analyze 15 studies involving 6 333 samples using R software. It tested the heterogeneity, analyzed the publication bias, calculated the e-ect size and identified moderators after strictly screening literatures. This paper aimed at systematically combing the factors affecting researchers’ data reuse intention, behavior and satisfaction, quantifying the relationship between the dependent variables and independent variables and providing a new perspective for further research on scientific data reuse. This study found that most of the influencing factors were positively correlated with researchers’ data reuse intention, behavior and satisfaction, among which, perceived usefulness and perceived data quality were highly positively correlated with data reuse intention, and disciplinary factors played a moderating role in some of the influencing factors of data reuse intention

The Buddha’s Sutra on Hemorrhoids is a Tantric text translated by Yi Jing from India, with a distinctive description of hemorrhoids. The text is found in Dunhuang manuscripts S.5379, the Dazhengzang, the Medical Heart Formula, and the Xixia Scroll IHB. NO.807. According to research findings, S.5379 is the earliest manuscript and differs from the latter three. Each of them must have been copied from a different source. Its contents reflect the understanding that haemorrhoids are greatly influenced by Indian Ayurvedic medicine, which believes that the haemorrhoids can be found on all parts of the body and gradually shrink, describing only perianal diseases, from a broad to a narrow sense. However, the sutra was first spread in the Middle Kingdom of China, then back to Dunhuang, Heishui City and later to Japan. It also influenced the understanding of haemorrhoids in Chinese medicine, expanding from a perianal disease to other parts of the body, such as nasal and ear haemorrhoids. The meaning of the word ‘haemorrhoid’ was further expanded from a narrow to a broad sense. The sutra thus preserves the traces of cultural exchange between India and China, leaving a valuable historical legacy in the rich history of cultural exchange between India and China.
