In 2008 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Shanghai Institute of Scientific and Technical Information I wrote Explorations and Reflections on the Integration of Library and Information Services from the perspective of scientific and technical information work. 2025 year marks the 30th anniversary of the merger between the Shanghai Library and the Shanghai Institute of Scientific and Technical Information. From the perspective of librarianship and particularly in light of the five-yearconstruction and three-year operation of the Shanghai Library East Branch this paper attempts to reviewand reflect on the integrated development of library and information services at the Shanghai Library overthe past three decades while also offering some forward-looking thoughts for the future.

Maritime atlases refer to maps that primarily depict maritime island geography. As anessential component of historical geography research in ancient China systematic and comprehensivecollections of maritime atlases remain relatively scarce despite the publication of numerous ancient maps.This paper based on over 3 000 collected ancient Chinese maritime atlases proposes a five-categoryclassification according to map content coastal administrative atlases coastal defense atlases domesticand international navigation atlases thematic maritime atlases and maritime atlases of China drawn byWestern scholars. This classification aims to construct a comprehensive system of ancient Chinesemaritime atlases. This atlas system not only serves as a testament to maritime activities within Chinesecivilization but also provides a rich visual perspective for contemporary maritime history research.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, university libraries need toinnovate the reference service models. This paper proposes a solution combining “pre-trained models+alocal knowledge base” to build an intelligent reference service system powered by large language models.Through the organic integration of four layers: data resources, model training, application services, andinteractive display, the system enhances the human-computer and human-AI collaboration capabilities ofintelligent libraries. Taking Shandong University Library as an example, this paper elaborates the specificapplication and effectiveness evaluation results of the system in management service, space service,resource service and other scenarios. The research shows that the system has significant advantages inimproving service efficiency and optimizing user experience, offering more comprehensive, detailed andpersonalized consultation services. This provides a new solution and practical path for university librariesto carry out intelligent services.

Developing a child-friendly reading ecosystem is a central focus in the construction of a childfriendlylibrary. The participating experts at the symposium discussed various aspects of the child-friendlyreading ecosystem. First establishing a child-friendly service philosophy is essential children as thebeneficiaries of the reading ecosystem should have priority access to reading resources and enjoy readingservices. Second reshaping the service system and establishing the implementation mechanism of thechild-friendly reading ecosystem require building a close and efficient cooperation network among variousproviders. Third innovative service and activity design is needed to achieve the operational goals of thechild-friendly reading ecosystem. Fourth strengthening key supporting elements such as library spacecollection resources and librarian teams help reinforce the infrastructure of the child-friendly readingecosystem. The research concludes that the child-friendly reading ecosystem with the public library as thehub should adhere to a children-first principle improve the mechanism for social forces to participate inchildren's services in public libraries explore diverse cooperation models and enhance services activitiesresources space and personnel. These efforts will help achieve the goal of diversified supply of children sreading services foster an integrated coordinated and open library service organism and promote the all round development of children. In the future the construction of the children's reading service ecosystemcan advance by seizing innovation opportunities strengthening the children-first mindset focusing on theextensibility of the reading ecosystem and attaching importance to specialization and standardization

By concentrating on the objectives of co-construction andshared governance the study emphasizes enhancing collaborative awareness strengthening capacitydevelopment promoting coordinated resource integration and reinforcing environmental control.Ultimately these measures aim to unleash the synergistic effects of stakeholder collaboration and movetowards a model of collaborative archival data governance.

Food is an important vehicle of cultural heritage and an important practice of shaping socialidentity. The study uses local chronicles as a data source to build a knowledge graph to promoteknowledge discovery. By extracting geographical information cultural customs and other textual datarelated to traditional food from thousands of villages in Dongguan City we built a social network oftraditional food and villages as well as a similarity-based village network to identify the characteristicsand community distribution of traditional food culture in Dongguan villages. The study found that rice andflour products occupy an important position in Dongguan's traditional food with pastry-type foodsexhibiting particularly rich forms. Local dietary practices are closely related to seasonal festivals. Thecultural connotations given to foods and their seasonal attributes affect the selection of traditional foods. Interms of the spatial distribution of traditional food communities two types of communities emerged theCantonese or Hakka traditional food culture aggregation type and the Cantonese-Hakka traditional foodculture fusion type.

Agaisnt the backdrop of  Healthy China analyzing and reconstructing the spatialelements of health information services in public libraries through artificial intelligence and otheremerging technologies is of great theoretical significance and practical value for public libraries toprovide high-quality health information services to meet users  needs. The article selects 20 provincialand municipal public libraries in the east middle and west of China to examine the construction ofhealth information service space through online surveys and literature reviews. The findings identifykey issues in the reconstruction of both physical and virtual health information service spaces. Itfurther evaluates the feasibility of AI-enabled space reconstruction and proposes a pathway based onan integrated   point-line-plane-layer framework for enhancing health information service spaces inpublic libraries.

Health misinformation on social media is intricate fast-spreading and highly harmful topublic health. Rapid and effective identification of such misinformation is thus of great importance. Inthis study we first gathered health information from various social media platforms to build a bilingualdataset. We then developed a RoBERTa-MHA-BiGRU model to identify health misinformation. In thismodel the RoBERTa a pre-trained language model was used to vectorize the health data combining amulti-head attention mechanism with a bidirectional gated recurrent units BiGRU to extract semanticfeatures from the texts. And a fully connected layer and the Softmax function were employed to identifyhealth misinformation. Finally three sets of experiments were conducted for the Chinese and Englishdatasets to validate the effectiveness of the RoBERTa-MHA-BiGRU model. Experiment 1 showed thatdeep learning models outperformed machine learning models and that RoBERTa's text representation wassuperior to BERT􀆳s. Experiment 2 demonstrated that incorporating an attention mechanism enhanced themodel's learning capabilities with the RoBERTa-MHA-BiGRU model outperforming the single-headattention model. Experiment 3 revealed that data augmentation further improved the model sperformance. In summary this paper expands the depth and breadth of theoretical research on healthmisinformation. Practically it provides technical guidance for the identification of health misinformationon social media helping social media users to avoid such misinformation promptly and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of health misinformation management.

Established in 1933 during the Republic of China era the Bibliothèque Sino-Internationale wasfounded to promote a balance between Chinese and Western cultures. It played an important role inspreading Chinese culture to the world. The library adopted a director responsibility system elected by thecouncil with a Geneva headquarters and a Shanghai branch. The collections of the two locations reflecteddifferent emphases in Chinese and Western materials and the staff consisted of both Chinese andforeigners. The Bibliothèque Sino-Internationale actively fulfilled its mission and promoted Chineseculture to the world through concrete actions such as engaging in international publishing hostinginternational exhibition and carrying out international academic exchanges. It became a key hub forcultural exchange between the East and the West. At present domestic libraries can learn from theexperience and practices of the Bibliothèque Sino-Internationale in terms of international innovativedevelopment such as establishing overseas institutions enhancing positive internal and externalinteractions strengthening planning and participating in international activities expanding business areasacross borders and enhancing service functions.

These historical experiences provide historicalreferences for contemporary libraries to build reader communities and promote public participation inlibrary governance.

Clarifying the explicit meaning of the  Flyleaf in the ancient books is helpful for the accuracyand standardization in cataloging the titles of ancient books.  Flyleaf is an English word. It was originallytranslated as  飞页 in Chinese and soon evolved into a homophonic  扉页 . Through investing the recentdescription of the western-style binding and the periodicals it is found that the term  flyleaf can refer tothe first image page after the cover of a book or periodical the inscription page the blank page in thebook the title page etc. and even a virtual reference. In the field of ancient books most of theinterpretations for Flyleaf in modern and contemporary theoretical works continue to use the meaning ofthe blank page which originating from the  飞页 . While the flyleaf mostly refers to the title page alsoknown as the inner cover Nei Feng and inside cover Li Feng in the actual description of ancient books.

The newly discovered self-emended diary manuscript of Gu Tinglong provides crucial primarymaterial for studying his compilation philosophy and historiography. By examining this self-emendedmanuscript alongside the original diary entries and related documents this study investigates the processof Gu Tinglong's personal revision of his diary during the 1980s and 1990s. The research reveals that thisself-emendation process represents Gu's academic self-awareness in his later years. He deliberatelyexcised personal content while increasing the records of academic and professional activities with the aimof producing an academic legacy for future generations. This endeavor reflects his cultural selfconsciousnessas dual identity in terms of scholar and library pioneer—demonstrating reverence foracademic truth and a commitment to historical transmission. Gu Tinglong transformed his personal lifeexperiences into historical documents through diary revision thereby establishing a model worthy ofsustained study and emulation in the development of modern Chinese librarianship.
