Based on the views of cultural nourishment and psychological quality cultivation, this paper describes the positive influence of the “mental health” movement on relevant fields in China after its rise in the United States in the early 20th century, and proposes that students, parents, teachers, librarians, etc. should master the knowledge of “mental health” and “guiding bibliography of emotional healing” through knowledge of reading emotions, growth, learning, positive psychology and so forth. It calls for schools and public libraries to utilize occasions such as “4·23 World Book and Copyright Day”, “5·25 Mental Health Day” and “10·10 World Mental Health Day” to conduct reading healing activities with “book prescription” so as to help readers in need of emotional relief and mental health care. It also appeals to implement “national mental health” activities in order to vigorously promote the building of a harmonious society and cultural and ethical progress.

This paper combs the literature which has been published in the field of bibliotherapy and reading therapy, and notices that, although the authors are from library science or information science sector, the practice in the library over the years is still limited and lacks sustainability. If researchers and libraries want to promote bibliotherapy services, the connection and difference between bibliotherapy and reading therapy need to be identified, and then, libraries could use three methods to collect relevant resources and provide service.

Reading plays an important role in the healing and growth of the human soul. Biographical works, due to their characteristics of authenticity, continuity, emotion, and inspiration, have therapeutic value in stimulating emotional resonance and deepening self reflection. Women’s biographies strengthen the right of women to be written, pay attention to the commonalities of female groups, and provide more targeted insights for female readers. This article aims to explore the therapeutic connotations of Chinese and foreign female biographies, and take four representative works of Chinese and foreign female biographies as examples to analyze their therapeutic value in emotional comfort, spiritual guidance, and cognitive inspiration, in order to attract the attention to and utilization of female biographical reading and therapeutic resources by relevant readers and reading promoters.

Japanese “healing” culture is not a temporary fashion, but a cultural phenomenon that reflects social conditions, which can be attributed to Japanese unique culture and social psychology. Based on sorting out the Japanese “healing” culture and “bibliotherapy”, this article focuses on introducing the concepts of Japanese “picture book therapy”, “picture book therapist” and the promotion of “picture book therapy”. The author listed ten representative books of “picture book therapy” in Japan, surveyed readers’ evaluations of these related works, and suggested the introduction of “picture book therapy” into China to meet the growing spiritual needs and “healing” needs of the people.

Children’s sex education has attracted more social attention, but the picture book publication in the field is stuck in a more embarrassing dilemma. Based on the investigation of the current situation of the publication of picture books for children’s sex education, the paper analyzes the data of the entities of these picture books circulating in the market through the content analysis. It identifies problems in the publishing process, such as the weak child-centered view, uneven distribution of educational themes, leaning on one gender, and improper transmission of values. It continues to put forward feasible suggestions for improvement. The research results give certain guidance for sex education within family, book publication and reading promotion in the field.

Based on the classic theory of the D&M model and integrating relevant domestic and foreign research, the paper constructs evaluation indicators for children’s digital reading Apps, including 5 dimensions with 21 secondary indicators. The expert evaluation method and analytic hierarchy process were used to determine the weight ratio of each index. Finally, 42 volunteers were invited to evaluate the experience of three children’s digital reading Apps, namely, Himalayan Children, Howling, and Uncle Kai’s Storytelling. The empirical evaluation results show that the overall level of the three Apps is high, and users are relatively satisfied with them. The scores of each primary and secondary indicator are basically consistent with the actual situation of each App, indicating that the evaluation index system is feasible and reasonable.

In order to understand the UNESCO’s open science policy, its characteristics and effectiveness, this paper analyzes the texts of 16 UNESCO’s open science policies using grounded theory analysis. It is found that it includes six aspects: open access policy, open education policy, open cooperation and innovation policy, open science guarantee policy, open science incentive policy, and open source software and source code policy, thus forming a relatively complete open science policy system, which has played a key role in leading the formulation of open science policies in various countries, raising the level of global awareness of open science, and promoting the construction of open science infrastructure. Drawing on the experience of UNESCO, China should set up and perfect the open science policy system, strengthen the construction of the standard of open science infrastructure, set up the evaluation standard and index system of open science, and give play to the unique role of the library in promoting open science, so as to promote the development of open science practice in China.

The construction of new liberal arts disciplines has attracted wide attention from various sectors of Chinese society. With the development of new liberal arts disciplines, data has gradually become a key research element and fundamental resource in the humanities. Driven by digital development and user demand, data services have gradually become one of the basic services provided by research-oriented university libraries. This article starts with the embedded data services oriented towards humanities research in the context of new liberal arts, analyzing and discussing its connotations. Through the practice of embedded data services in “Chinese Story Indexing and Interpretation,” this article discusses data construction, data management, and disciplinary research services in embedded data services targeting at new liberal arts disciplines. Embedded data services not only extend the traditional data service model of university libraries but also expand new technological services, further enhancing the data service capabilities of libraries in the new liberal arts. In this new data service model, university libraries also face the challenges of role transformation, upgrading of data services, and reorganization of professional relationships.
