During the New Democratic Revolution, the Communist Party’s bases were mainly ruralareas with backward transportation, weak economy and technology, and often under enemy blockade.There was a severe shortage of mechanized printing equipment and consumables in these areas, whichposed serious challenges to propaganda and education. Fortunately, wooden movable-type printing wasactive and widely applied, due to the traditional practices of genealogy compling in the South. Becauseof its low cost, simple operation mode, and convenient transfer, the Communist government and troopsused it to print revolutionary reading materials and leaflets. This phenomenon mainly appeared in Jiangxi,Hunan, Hubei and Anhui provinces during the Agrarian Revolution, and the publications were mostlyliteracy books. In addition, the Communist Party of China also carved wooden types to supplementthe broken lead types. Wooden movable-type printing, which has been around for thousands of years,promoted local literacy and mobilization efforts, spreading the sparks of revolution to remote areas.

With the policy of promoting digitization of cultural works in China, the innovation of howknowledge should be supplied generates new requirements for library to fulfill its social function of culturalsecurity. When facing the massive demand for the transformation of copyrighted works offline, copyrightowners chose to apply technical measures to electronic copyrighted works to regulate the controlled lendingof online resources and prevent copyright infringement in advance. However, the general applicationof technical measures also causes certain obstacles to the application of the traditional library copyrightexceptions. The public cannot claim the infringement exemption any more on the grounds of fair use. Theexceptions of technical measures, as a continuation of the local system of library exception rules in thedigital environment, can restore free access to information for the public by adjusting the exclusive controlof information resources. As to the specific institutional arrangement, legislators could add a new exceptionof technical measures for “non-profit library”, coordinating it with the existing types of fair use, and makingsure it would not be excluded from the private autonomy in contract.

The IFLA-LRM replaces FRBR, leading to innovations in standard of a series of metadatasuch as RDA, BIBFRAME, and MARC21, which bespeaks the breakthrough of library resources fromthe platform limitation, as well the library’s intent to increase Internet visibility, achieve reuse and sharingin the era of linked data. The newly added “Explore” task for users is the key to understand the constantupdating and iterating of multiple standard files. We should grasp the trend, break free from the fixedmindset of “collection-centered” thinking, and integrate “explore” into all aspects of library work. It willthen provide inspiration for innovation in the library industry and help us better serve the patrons of smartlibrary.

Through on-site observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and other methods,the user portraits of different groups were extracted from the three dimensions of goal, behavior andattitude. The cluster analysis of different groups in the new public reading space was carried out byK-means clustering algorithm to compare the service preferences of different groups in the new publicreading space. The commonality and difference of different groups’ preferences for new public readingspace services can be divided into four types as a whole, namely, those who are early adopters of travelpunch card, those who enjoy leisure and recreation, those who love reading and learning, and those whoexperience parent-child activities. Personalized and precise services should be provided for differentgroups to improve the sense of access to public cultural services for different users.

The concept of “reading therapy”, originating from the United Kingdom and the UnitedStates, is inseparably linked to library services. Modern libraries can use bibliotherapeutic services asa starting point to provide assistance in emotional management, mental health support and spiritualcultivation of social citizens.
