Through field experience, interviews with people, information access and research of booksand periodicals, the paper launchs the following proposition based on the observation and thinking of thecase of the Shanghai Library East: it is a new exploration of innovation and high-quality development ofpublic libraries with Chinese characteristics. The paper discusses the proposed proposition from multipledimensions. First, the smart library moves from a breakthrough to a new example of improved systemcapability. Second, it constitutes a new interpretation of reading promotion of contemporary libraries.Third, it becomes the new sample of Chinese path to modernization libraries. And fourth, it stands for theoriental growth amid world public library development.

In the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, especially since the beginning of the 21stcentury, China’s librarianship has got into a stage of rapid development. Many hardware indicators havereached or approached the international advanced level, but the new development environment marked byhigh-quality and the new technology environment led by digitization put forward new requirements for thenew round of development of the librarianship. Based on the relationship between library and technology,combined with three important discussions in the field of library in the past 50 years, namely, from“technology adapting to library” to “library adapting to technology”, from “serving readers in library” to“responding to the needs of social development”, and from “focusing on local development to expandingglobal vision”, this paper proposes three synchronization topics of high-quality development of China’slibrarianship: synchronization with technological development, synchronization with social development,and synchronization with global professional development. Finally, three issues that need to be tackledare put forward. Firstly, we should improve the visibility of local collections and thematic resources,making these resources accessible and shareable, and becoming part of the library-interconnected globalshared repository. Secondly, librarianship development should be integrated into the general developmentenvironment of information and communication technology, adapting to the information usage habits ofreaders and users, and making the global shared repository based on numerous libraries be part of thesocial information resource system. Thirdly, while learning from foreign counterparts with an open mind,we should make full use of our advantages and work hard to improve our voice in the development ofglobal librarianship.

This paper combs the policy texts closely related to the adjustment of urban-rural relationsand the development of public cultural undertakings, explores the policy evolution of urban-rural relationsand the evolution of public cultural policies in the context of urban-rural integration, and thinks aboutthe policy direction of the development of public cultural service. It is found that the evolution of publiccultural policy can be divided into three periods: the period of establishing and perfecting the ruralcultural network, the period of forming the public cultural service system covering the whole society,and the period of integrating urban and rural public cultural service. In the process of evolution, andinfluenced by the policy of urban-rural integration, the public cultural policy increasingly emphasizes theextension of basic public cultural services to rural areas and the standardization and digitization of publiccultural services, and brings cultural power into play in reshaping the relationship between urban and ruralareas. The integrated development of urban and rural public cultural services needs to pay attention tothe enabling role of culture in the revitalization of rural areas in terms of policy, activating the rural mainbody consciousness, connecting with the actual needs, safeguarding the basic cultural rights and interestsof the floating population, and accelerating the development of rural public digital culture.

The construction of subject information service platform is an important performance tohelp the development of subjects and improve the information service capabilities of university libraries.This paper studies and analyzes the current situation of the theory and practice of the subject informationservice platform development of university library using the methods of literature research and networkresearch. The results show that the current subject information service platform of university library hasattracted insufficient attention, but is disadvantaged with lack of demand feedback, incomplete servicecoverage and non-standard data management. Taking the discipline information service platform of thelibrary of Chongqing University as an example, this paper constructs a platform service system to realizeknowledge services such as literature, consultation, training and competitive intelligence by building atargeted discipline information service platform to meet the decision-making reference needs of scientificresearch, scientific research management and development planning. In this way, we can innovatethe discipline information service mode, improve the discipline service quality of university libraries, and provide reference for university libraries in China to support the “double first-class” disciplineconstruction.

As the carrier of cultural exchange between China and the West, ancient books in westernlanguages boast precious academic research value and cultural relics collection value.

Paid knowledge service has emerged as a new learning method in the era of sharingeconomy. Based on stimulus-organism-response theory, uses and gratification theory, and variables suchas information search, information sharing, and perceived belonging, this paper constructs a researchmodel on the influencing factors of users’ purchase of knowledge products from the perspective of mobilelearning. A total of 526 valid questionnaires were collected with the help of the online questionnaireplatform, and partial least squares structural equation model and Smart PLS 3.0 and SPSS 23.0 wereused for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The research results show that information search andinformation sharing positively affect user satisfaction, perceived belonging and immersive experience;satisfaction and immersive experience positively affect users’ willingness to continue to use, and thenpositively affect users’ purchase behavior; and perceived belonging has a positive impact on continuoususe. The effect of willingness was not significant. This paper clarifies the internal logical relationshipbetween the influencing factors of user purchase behavior, and provides useful management inspirationfor effectively improving user stickiness.

Dongpo Wen Tan Lu and Dongpo Shi Hua Lu, reportedly written by Chen Xiumin of theYuan Dynasty, are two relatively well-known works specialized in commenting on Su Shi’s articles andpoems. According to The General Catalogue of Siku Quanshu and Sun Yirang’s Wenzhou Jingji Zhi, theformat and style of these two books are rather confused, with miscellaneous quotations from relevantworks of the Ming Dynasty; but their suspicion that both books are pseudo-graphs has not been confirmed.Lacking solid evidence in this regard, these two books are still used today for their documentary value.The paper proves that two books, by drawing heavily on Volume 4 and Volume 5 of Su Zhang Gong Wai Jiedited by Wang Shizhen and supplemented by Qu Zhipu, are indeed pseudo-graphs. Their author and titlehave been faked to create a mysterious origin. In this case, the previous research and conclusions based onthe authenticity of the two books should be reassessed.

Zhouyi Bianlu, with annotation and postscript by Li Wenzao, is collected by ShandongLibrary. According to The Bibliography of Chinese Rare Books, this edition is the authentic sourceedition of the Siku, which has been confirmed within academia. My current preliminary probe showsthat this edition contradicts with Weng Fanggang’s abstract; and further contradictions appear afterbeing compared with the Siku versions from Wenyuange and Wenjinge. Given these differences, thisedition of Zhouyi Bianlu cannot be the authentic source. My thorough investigation into the relevantcollections home and abroad reveals that the edition presented by Wu Yuchi and currently collected byChinese Academy of Sciences Library accords with the Siku edition and that this edition is undoubtedlythe authentic version. This important finding, by clarifying the source version, will be of great benefit toresearchers. By comparison with its counterparts collected by Chinese Academy of Sciences Library andKyoto University Library, the origin of Zhouyi Bianlu has been clarified. Though not being the authenticsource version, Zhouyi Bianlu in Shandong Library was one of three officially presented editions. Beingcollected successively by Li Wenzao, Zhou Yongnian and Nan Zhuyuan, this edition in Shandong Libraryhas its unique value. The reference mistakes related to this version have been corrected with moreaccurate information.
