The topics concerning the fundamental theory, methodology, research methods, and techniques have gained much attention among LIS communities globally. It is effective to visualize science evolution through a deep understanding of theoretical research and the history of the research field. Our purpose is to clarify the philosophy of LIS, to define the location of LIS in the science society, and to recognize the fundamental theory of LIS. We proposed a concept of “Research Towards Discipline Integration” from the perspective of the science of science, and introduced the mechanism of this concept and its relative status in the transforming process of a discipline. In this way, we concluded:
(1) Discipline development generally intermixes knowledge divergence and convergence. The balance of knowledge status and driving force has produced five development statuses of research patterns, namely specialization, reconstruction, transformation, differentiation, and integration. (2) LIS research shows the diversity in the development of theories and methods corresponding to these five types. LIS communities have insisted on the foundation of being a branch of social science and serving society. LIS has been built within the vision with a systematic and holistic view. (3) Practically, what should be done is the consistency of the belief in the driving force for scientific research. LIS communities could embrace the diverse challenges from the science society by making use of theoretical and methodological foundations based on the idea of “from the integration to the integration”.

it, this paper systematically reviewed research on misinformation from three aspects: causes, negative impacts, and control. First, from the perspectives of users and machines, this paper reviewed research on the generation of misinformation. Meanwhile, studies of misinformation dissemination from the perspectives of information sources, susceptible hosts, and information environment were analyzed. Second, the paper summarized research on the negative impacts of misinformation from the development of user cognitive distortion, decision-making based on misinformation, and user behavior changes. Last, the paper examined research on misinformation control from the perspectives of information platforms and users. The paper concluded that the existing research still has limitations in the research context, research perspectives, methods, and data. Therefore, the paper suggested that future research may segment study subjects further, analyze the impacts of technology, and explore more data collection and analysis methods.

To promote the high-quality development of literature information resource supporting activities, it is necessary to strengthen the quality evaluation of literature information resource supporting activities. The study found that the relevant research in China had fully discussed the relevant concepts and the evaluation indicator system through systematic analysis of the relevant research. However, there are still some obvious problems. For example, the important concept is not clearly defined, the analysis of the evaluation system is insufficient, and the empirical studies are not enough. The study suggests that the follow-up research should further clarify the concepts related to the evaluation, improve the evaluation theories and methods, comprehensively analyze the evaluation system, and establish an evaluation indicator system that covers the various elements and the whole process. Furthermore, the follow-up research should strengthen the investigation of evaluation practice, emphasize the empirical research of evaluation, and appropriately expand the object of evaluation.

Considering that digital resources are mainly purchased, seriously homogeneous and expensive, the development of digital special collection brings opportunities to libraries. Although many digital special collections have been built in large-scale digital projects such as CADAL and CALIS by domestic university libraries, it is still necessary to continuously explore the use of special collection to support teaching, scientific research and cultural inheritance, to break the information isolated island, and to release its great value. This study investigates and analyzes the libraries of 100 well-known universities in the world from the aspects of basic information of digital special collection platform, library homepage entrance, disclosure mode, openness, resource types and their Chinese resources. It constructs a generalized linear prediction model between special collection resources and library homepage flows, and explores the construction status and future development direction of special collections in university libraries, providing reference for the construction of special collections in Chinese university libraries.

This paper explores the innovation of summer reading program of public library by taking the holiday reading activity of Pudong Library “The Bluebird Bookcrossing Summer Reading Program” as an example. The successful creation of the reading brand, the correct cognition of the reading object and the accurate positioning of the reading goal are the three innovations of the program, whereas the “Bluebird Team”, “Bluebird Book Bag” and “Achievement Display” are the three essential elements of it. The Bluebird Bookcrossing Summer Reading Program has launched a number of innovative measures by focusing the three elements, namely, multi-dimensional integration to activate reading vitality, subjective initiatives to stimulate reading potentials, and task orientation to improve reading effect. The Bluebird Bookcrossing Summer Reading Program process is easy to operate, be duplicated and promoted, which provides a reference for other public libraries in terms of summer reading promotion. It is the representative of innovative practice of summer reading promotion of public libraries in China at this stage.

opened the road of legislation for cultural relics protection. On one hand, it draws upon the experience of Western cultural relics protection, which leaves a positive impact on Chinese cultural relics protection legislation and practice. On the other hand, excessive imitation derails the system from the times and national character. The ancient books, as the most special and precious among the cultural relics, were gradually marginalized in the process of system construction, partly due to the lack of protection of “movable cultural relics” in international conventions, and partly due to the lack of institutional continuity in legislative content and cultural relics management institutions at that time. In turbulent modern China, every regime and people of insights made institutional improvement and legislative efforts for the protection of ancient books that are not only the embodiment of cultural value, artistic value, academic value and social value, but also stand for the spirit and emotions of national development. We should inherit and carry on such efforts.

The 10-volume Song-printed Collected Works of Xie Youpan held by Shanghai Museum is the sole existing collection of poetry and essays by Xie Ke who was a renowned Linchuan scholar in the late Northern Song Dynasty. In 1152, this book was printed in Fuzhou along with Xie Yi’s Xitang Ji. Since Song, this book had been scarcely known in Chinese context. It afterwards circulated to Japan and has been collected successively by some famous Japanese scholars. In the early 1880s, this collection was brought back to China by Yang Shoujing after his travel to Japan; and he attached the inscription to the book and soon sold it to Pangxi Library owned by Pan Zuyin. This edition was donated by Sun Boyuan to Shanghai Museum. This collection, as the source edition of Xie Ke’s printed works, has great documentary value. It is helpful to examine the relation between Xie Ke and Jiangxi School of Poetry, the gradual and partial change of Jiangxi Poetical School as well as the making of The Works of Song Dignitaries.
