Driven by a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrialtransformation, librarianship, like other industries, is facing opportunities and challenges oftransformation and upgrading. On the one hand, the library is expanding from information processingand information service to a wider range of academic exchanges and research, and its service focus ischanging from serving readers in the library to responding to social (community) development needs.On the other hand, the steady progress of the open access movement in the past two decades has createda favorable environment for libraries to evolve towards knowledge infrastructure. In the next twodecades, libraries will play an increasingly important role in the construction of knowledge infrastructureand the advancement of open science. The author uses three keywords – connection, navigation andcreation – to propose the direction of future efforts. First, librarians must become promoters and leadersof connections, exerting their ability to organize, coordinate and mobilize various resources. Second,librarians must actively participate in the process of open science development and give full play to theirexpertise in resource management, data utilization and reference service. Third, libraries should strive tocreate an environment conducive to user innovation and creation, so as to assist economic and culturaldevelopment.

Digital scholarship is a research paradigm in which digital technologies and methodsintervene in the academic research process. The breakthrough of generative AI represented by ChatGPTmarks the arrival of generalized AI, which some scholars call the “AI2.0 era”, and also makes scientificresearch transition from data-intensive to computationally-intensive, thus entering the fifth paradigm.More and more of the research process will be involved in, or even dominated by AI. Different from datadrivenresearch, big models not only can conduct data acquisition, extraction, management and analysisin a more efficient, or even “automatic” way, but also have the potential to realize the “understanding” ofmassive scientific data, so as to discover new laws and trends. The big model can not only help scientistsbetter understand the data, but also provide a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective for scientificresearch. At the same time, it can also be applied to a variety of related scenarios, to help scientistsfind errors and defects in the data or results, thereby improving the reliability and repeatability ofscientific research. Of course, with the wide application of AI technology, it also brings some challenges.For libraries, research-oriented services will become more academic and technical. In addition toinfrastructure, construction of research communication environment and data support services, they willintervene more deeply in the research process with AI thinking and digital methods and tools, provide thenecessary support in protecting the privacy and security of data, and avoid data leakage, misuse or ethicalissues.

The large language model has posed significant challenges to traditional knowledgecomprehension, processing, and services. The article employs literature review, expert interviews, andgrounded theory to conduct content analysis of expert interview data from four aspects: the value ofChatGPT’s digital humanities tools, the Chinese language corpus within large language models, theconstruction of Chinese language corpora in libraries, and the relevant ethical challenge. These analysesdelve into the challenges that large language model introduces to library digital humanities work. Basedon literature, practical scenarios, and expert insights, the article elaborates on the in-depth considerationsfor the practice of digital humanities work in libraries, including data ownership and copyright protection,language and cultural differences, biases, technological application boundaries, as well as standards andregulations.

This paper uses the literature survey method to study the papers and works on leveledreading in foreign library. Through sorting out the cognition of leveled reading in foreign library, itis found that foreign library is against exaggerating the function of leveled reading. They believe thatthe scientific basis of leveled reading needs further study; leveled reading has not yet formed a unifiedstandard; readability formula fails to solve the core problem of library reading service; and over-relianceon leveled reading will limit the cultivation of children’s ability to choose books and weaken the readingmotivation of low-level readers. Finally, combining with the current situation of leveled reading in China,this paper puts forward thoughts and suggestions on the research and application of leveled reading inlibrary.

With the growing importance of data-intensive research, the volume of research data isincreasing explosively, universities and research institutions in various regions have successivelyimplemented or improved their research data management strategies. However, research data managementin most universities in China is still in the development stage and has not yet formed an effectivemanagement system. Therefore, the comparative analysis of research data management policies ofrepresentative universities under different regions is conducive to the improvement and innovation ofdomestic research data management policies and the optimization of relevant management system.Literature research method and network analysis method were adopted to collect and collate the researchdata management policies of top 100 universities in the QS World University Ranking in 2023. Froma cross regional perspective, we built a category system for research data management policies based onthe data lifecycle model, including 4 first-level categories and 14 second-level categories for comparativestudy, in order to provide references for the practice of research data management in domestic universities.It is found that the level of sophistication of research data management policy is not the same among different regional universities. North American universities excel in research data organization. Europeanuniversities focus on data storage and publishing. Oceanian universities attach importance to the norms ofresearch data creation. Among Asian universities, those in Singapore and Hong Kong area, China havemore comprehensive research data management policies than others. Combining with the excellentpractice of university policies in different regions, it is recommended that Chinese universities promoteone-stop service for research data management, manage research data support needs in differentdepartments, and develop multi-functional research data management software.

The high-quality youth service of public libraries is important to help teenager develop inan all-round way. Using the network survey method and case analysis method, this paper analyzes andsummarizes youth service characteristics of twenty public libraries recognized by the American Instituteof Museum and Library Service in the past eight years. In view of domestic situation, this paper proposesenlightenment for Chinese public libraries to improve the youth service level by attaching importanceto space construction and formulating space guidelines; changing the concept of service and developingpuzzle games; incentizing activity design and innovating service model; and paying attention to gradedservices and identifying special needs.

Against the backdrop of the high-quality development of the current public culturalservice system, utilizing cultural IP to enhance the capabilities of public libraries to serve the publicand to distribute information is of very practical significance. The article aims to explore feasible pathsfor the construction and development of cultural IP in public libraries by studying practical cases ofbuilding Shenzhen Yantian Library’s cultural IP. This article sorts out the entire process of the culturalIP construction, including selecting the direction, construction methods, maintenance and management,and explores the full process management methods of the cultural IP construction of public librariesbased on the status quo of public libraries in China. Research has found that the construction of culturalIP for public libraries in China is still in its early stage, mainly focusing on aspects such as image design,event building, and creative products. By identifying the characteristics of its collections and positioningits jurisdiction, Shenzhen Yantian Library selects the overall theme of its cultural IP, and constructsits cultural IP throughout the entire process, including reader service, building construction, brandactivities, and creative products. This relatively rare model, to some extent, can provide reference for theconstruction of cultural IP in public libraries.

The development and introduction of digital humanities has provided a new research paradigmfor traditional humanities research. With the help of digital technology to organize, associate, anddevelop traditional cultural resources, it is of great significance for the memory, inheritance, innovation,and dissemination of intangible cultural heritage. Based on a review of the current status of researchon Yuanqu, this paper extracts, fuses, and stores knowledge of Yuanqu through a top-down approach,and finally constructs a knowledge map for multi-dimensional presentation and application of Yuanquknowledge, taking the surviving miscellaneous plays of four writers as an example. The construction ofthe Yuanqu knowledge map based on the knowledge ontology model can realize the related organizationand visualization of Yuanqu resources, and expand the scope of humanistic research.

Open data is an important part of the innovation and development of digital humanities.It’s of great significance for the innovation of knowledge production paradigm of digital humanities tosystematically cognize and think about the progress, pain points and development of open data for digitalhumanities. Through document analysis and case analysis, this paper combed the basic situation of theconstruction of open data for digital humanities in our country, and analyzed the core pain points of opendata for digital humanities. On this basis, it put forward the countermeasures and paths for the sustainabledevelopment of open data for digital humanities in China. At present, there are still some deficiencies inopen willingness, open service, open cooperation and open usage. In the future, it needs to be promotedfrom the perspectives of strengthening financial and policy support, meeting service scenarios and userneeds, creating win-win cooperation and value co-creation mechanisms, and promoting the “cognition”and “usage” of open data.

With the Internet’s advancing, online video has become an important way of scientificcommunication. As a pivotal medium for scientific communication and interaction between scientificinstitutions and the public, the way to improve the communication effect of science popularization videosis a valuable topic to be studied. Based on a sample of 769 videos uploaded by the Institute of PhysicsCAS on Bilibili from March 15 of 2019 to June 5 of 2021, this study uses regression analysis based on the“heuristic-system model” to analyze the factors influencing the communication of science popularizationvideos in terms of title strategy, cover type, co-production, soundtrack type, video length, videopackaging, content theme, and social hotspots. The results show that videos that have suspenseful titles,stimulating interactive titles, or integrated titles can have better communication effect, so do videos thathave a combination of graphic and textual covers; videos that talk about social hotspots, co-created, aboutreporting scientific advances or explaining natural phenomena, or having time length of 10 to 30 minutesare more effectively broadcasted.
