China’s public culture cause has entered a new historical period of high-quality development, and the development of academic disciplines in the field is an important starting point to promote the innovation of public culture theory and practice. Firstly, this study expounds the political, theoretical and practical significance of developing public cultural discipline from the background of the times, academic environment and practical needs. Secondly, the theory of public culture is supported by the theory of public culture transmission, the theory of public culture gradient, the theory of public culture space, and the theory of digitalization and wisdom of public culture. Finally, it points out that the public cultural discipline should be based on library science and culturology, and it is necessary to strengthen the applied theoretical research and integrate the discipline construction into the personnel training system, so as to provide concepts and visions for the development of the public cultural discipline with Chinese characteristics.

Using Internet research, this paper analyzes and interprets the content of the Strategic Plan 2018—2022 and Strategic Plan 2022—2026 of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the United States. The IMLS Strategic Plan 2022—2026 has four prominent features: lifelong learning, intensive grassroots participation, technology-enabled collection development, and all-round optimization of public service provision. With reference to their experience, in the course of developing the library cause, our country may (1) issue the budget plan in accordance to the library cause development and improve the efficiency of financial funds; (2) undertake the social education mission of the library and respond to the global call for lifelong education; (3) promote the digitization of collections and the protection of cultural heritage to jointly shape national memory; (4) attach importance to data disclosure and application to improve service efficiency; (5) strengthen intra-industry and inter-industry cooperation, and seek progress in unblocking communication channels to provide better public cultural services.

The Play and Learn Space is stemming from the recognition of inequity in off-campus study time and disparity in educational opportunities among families of different income levels. It is an innovative exploration of the family engagement space within American public libraries. This paper adopts a case study and theoretical analysis method to analyze the family participation space in American public libraries. The Play and Learn Space draws theoretical support from Jean Piaget and Friedrich Wilhelm August Fr?bel’s theory on early childhood play, Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, and Fred McFeely Rogers’s theory of child development (known as The Toothpaste Theory). Family engagement provides conceptual support for the Play and Learn Space on the one hand, the Play and Learn Space provides spatial support for the implementation of the concept of family engagement on the other hand. The Free Library of Philadelphia’s Play and Learn Space, from the perspectives of “public space/environment”, “interpersonal relationships”, and “game elements”, offers valuable insights and serves as a reference for the development of family engagement spaces in libraries in China.

Performance evaluation is the development trend of library assessment, and is also an issue discussed by theoretical researchers. This article will summarize the relevant research on the performance evaluation of libraries in Chinese Taiwan in the past 20 years from the aspects of the concepts and significance of performance evaluation, assessment content, assessment indexes and indicators, and assessment methods. Based on this, the article puts forward suggestions on the practice and research of library performance evaluation in mainland China.

To achieve the goal of high-quality foreign book acquisition is a common challenge faced by university libraries at present. The foreign book acquisition team of Zhejiang University Library summarizes their experience and proposes a practical model of foreign book acquisition based on PRINCE2, which is a classical project management system. This model has positive significance in optimizing the acquisition process, innovating the acquisition service mode, and improving the efficiency of resource use, which can provide a vivid reference for other university libraries in terms of foreign book acquisition.

Accelerating the digital transformation of library reading promotion is an inevitable choice to meet the challenges of the times and empower Chinese-style modernization. Digital transformation of library reading promotion is the integration of digital technology into the field of reading promotion, and promotes all-round innovation and change of library reading promotion. It is complex, takes long time, features phases and periodical goals, and conveys value. In the meantime, we use the systemic thinking approach to build the action framework of digital transformation of library reading promotion from four dimensions: “who to transform”, “how to transform”, “what to transform” and “what to be transformed to”. Finally, we propose to pay attention to the top-level system design and systematic planning of digital transformation of reading promotion, establish a digital ecological community, strengthen the synergy among reading promotion subjects, and implement a differentiated transformation model based on the scale and stage of development of smart libraries.

In face of the theory of integrating library reading promotion activities into classroom teaching in college and university, the paper, based on teaching practices, proposes three concepts – “Embedded Education”, “Thematic Presentation” and “Multiple Linkage” – as the key content of the integration model. It proceeds to construct a theoretical analysis dimension from perception to cognition in self-examination in the explanation and analysis of individual case. It emphasizes the teaching interaction and classroom integration among university librarians, faculty and students, which leads to the reorganization of knowledge resources in reading promotion activities, thus promoting the regeneration of library work paradigm with knowledge innovation ability.

Genealogy is an important cultural heritage. Public libraries at all levels pay more and more attention to the development of genealogy resources. Due to the insufficient survey of genealogy users, however, the formulated reading promotion strategies are mostly based on the subjective judgment of the library and lack accuracy. Through the extraction of response texts to questions regarding family tree by knowledge community users, the features of the texts are captured by LDA model construction, the keywords discussed by interest groups are interpreted, and then the actual focus of family tree discussions is analyzed. It goes on to explore the promotion path of genealogy reading in public libraries from the perspective of users, and puts forward the strategy of embedding memory theory, valuing female users’ perspective, having an international perspective, and innovating genealogy revision.

The sacrificial remains of Sanxingdui, the ancient archeological site, are the physical example to understand the Gushu civilization. The construction of knowledge graph of Sanxingdui sacrificial activities can provide a strong support of data infrastructure for the digital humanities research in the sacrifices at Sanxingdui. This paper clarified research dimensions of the sacrificial system of Sanxingdui by establishing the comparison between the sacrificial system and the data system. The ontology model of the sacrificial system of Sanxingdui was designed according to the dimensions. Finally, the entity and relationship of sacrificial digital resources were extracted based on the ontology, and the knowledge graph was stored and visualized with the help of Neo4j database. The research shows that the knowledge graph of Sanxingdui sacrifices can effectively support the scene applications of digital humanistic research, such as viewpoint presentation, knowledge discovery and data crowd sourcing, and empowers the humanistic research related to Sanxingdui ancient city.

Digital humanities is an emerging interdisciplinary research field formed by the intersection and integration of digital technology and humanities. It is a model of interdisciplinary integration. Grasping its interdisciplinary characteristics helps to understand the connotation of digital humanities. From the perspective of scientific cooperation, interdisciplinary measurement of digital humanities is conducted, providing a new approach for quantitative research on interdisciplinary digital humanities and a scientific basis for explaining the phenomenon of interdisciplinary integration of digital humanities. Starting from representative digital humanities’ conferences, the results of the ADHO Digital Humanities Annual Conference were selected as the research object. Through an interdisciplinary measurement method based on co-author’s institutional information, the degree of interdisciplinary intersection in digital humanities was measured and analyzed. The measurement research results indicate that digital humanities s has the characteristic of integrating humanities and sciences, and is a comprehensive interdisciplinary field with strong interdisciplinary characteristics. The breadth and depth of intersection between different disciplines continue to increase, gradually shifting from the early intersection between similar disciplines to the intersection between non similar disciplines.

In the era of digital intelligence, personalized algorithm recommendation services are developing rapidly. There are inconsistencies in the findings of empirical studies on the factors influencing the adoption intention of users of personalized algorithmic recommendation services. In order to clarify the key influencing factors, the empirical research results on this topic were sorted out and re-analyzed to provide reference for subsequent research. This paper used the meta-analysis method to identify 14 key factors from 51 domestic and foreign empirical studies focusing on the adoption intention of users of personalized algorithm recommendation services. Among these factors, trust, attitude, perceived pleasure, interaction quality, recommendation information quality and other factors played a strong role in user’s adoption intention. Research time, social environment and application platform type moderated the relationship between the relevant variables and the adoption intention of users of personalized algorithm recommendation services.

Although the digital era has aggravated the privacy risks of users, the high protection costs and attractive transfer benefits have triggered users’ privacy fatigue, which leads to the disengagement of privacy protection. Based on multidimensional developmental theory, and starting from the information management dimension and interaction management dimension, this study constructs a research model of social media users’ privacy protection disengagement, collects 579 effective samples through online questionnaires, and conducts data analysis using the method of combining SEM and fsQCA. The study finds that privacy fatigue is a positive factor for privacy protection disengagement, while privacy negative experience and privacy protection cost are positive antecedents for privacy fatigue. In the meantime, the availability of privacy settings and the effectiveness of privacy policies have a negative impact on privacy fatigue. Privacy transfer benefits magnifies the effect of privacy fatigue on privacy protection disengagement. At the same time, there are five antecedent configurations for the separation of high-intensity privacy protection, which can be divided into two modes: revenue-oriented mode and cost-oriented mode, fully revealing the characteristics of users who are ‘good at calculation’ in the process of privacy protection.

The East Asian Library of the University of California, Berkeley, collects two copies of Lidai Minghua Ji, A and B. Through visual inspection, it is known that the format, font and inscription at the beginning of volume 1 of A and B are identical, and the papers used are yellow bamboo paper. There are the same errors in binding, so it can be concluded that they have the same original. This original should be another unknown copy of the Ming Dynasty reprinted from the Song Dynasty. B is the original single engraved version of Jigu Ge, the earliest one; Jindai Mishu edition was revised according to B, which was later; part of Lidai Minghua Ji in A and B may have the same original. Three kinds of books, namely Hou Hualu, Guhua Pinlu and Xu Huapin Bing Xu, were selected from collections of Jigu Ge, then modified and bound as one by people in late Qing. After dispersing from Jigu Ge, A was owned by the Japanese Imazeki Tenpō, then collected in the Mitsui Library. Later, it was purchased by the East Asian Library, Berkeley. B was originally collected by Li Wentian who was a famous official in late Qing, and has been collected by his son Li Yuanshuo and his grandson Li Yan. On January 9, 1938, because of financial embarrassment and his ancestors’ affinity with Hong Kong businessmen, Li Yan gave B to Hong Kong businessman Fung Heung-tsuen. Feng Jufei, the son of Fung Heung-tsuen, was ordered by his mother to present it to Ping-Wah Fung, brother of the same clan. Later, it scattered from Ping-Wah Fung and was collected by Berkeley eventually. The spread and collection of Lidai Minghua Ji in East Asian Library, Berkeley, is a typical case in the process of knowledge globalization.

According to the different contents, the production technologies and the ways of spreading and reading, the ancient books can be divided into different “levels” (for instance, in the Dunhuang documents, Buddhist scriptures and the rhyme dictionaries belong to different levels). The different levels have the various bookbinding formats. There are many rhyme dictionaries in the Dunhuang documents, the Turpan documents and in the handed-down documents. There is a bookbinding format called codex in the level of “rhyme dictionaries during the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties”, which developments reflect a special path of evolution from “rolls” to “codices”.
