  Research on Strategies for Cultivating Digital Literacy in Chinese University Libraries Based on the 5W Model

  Library Science Research & Work. 2024, 0(4): 23.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  The survey results indicate that digital literacy cultivation in Chinese university libraries generally faces challenges such as a singular cultivation subject, imprecise user demand analysis, a low level of structural and contextualization in cultivation content, relatively outdated cultivation methods, and unscientific evaluation of cultivation effectiveness. To effectively address these prominent issues in digital literacy cultivation in university libraries, the article refers to the core concept of the 5W model. It proposes feasible optimization strategies from five aspects: subject, target, content, method, and effectiveness. These strategies include establishing a collaborative digital literacy cultivation subject system with multiple subjects, designing digital literacy cultivation programs that align with the needs of both faculty and students, developing digital literacy cultivation content with higher levels of sophistication and functionality, creating a hybrid approach combining online and offline digital literacy cultivation methods, and enhancing the evaluation mechanism for digital literacy cultivation effectiveness.

  Research on Cooperative Innovation Paths between Public Libraries and Industrial Parks: A Case Study of Suzhou Library

  Library Science Research & Work. 2024, 0(4): 29.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  This article discusses Suzhou Library's response to the government's call to accelerate the construction of an innovative public service platform and its practical exploration of cooperation with industrial parks from multiple perspectives. This cooperation model encompasses macro-level collaboration between the main-branch library system and the industrial park and micro-level point-to-point collaboration between specialized library departments and businesses within the industrial park. Over several years of practice, the cooperation between the library and the industrial park has achieved significant outcomes in three aspects: the extension of the enterprise service tentacles based on the mainbranch library mode, the provision of high-quality information services to meet industrial park requirements, and the empowerment of the private sector. In the future, public libraries and industrial parks can continue to innovate in areas such as IP incubation, culture and arts, internships and employment, metaverse, and live streaming.

  On February 1, 1932, the esteemed Hanfenlou library of the Commercial Press, which housed a vast collection of rare and valuable books, was tragically destroyed during the Japanese invasion, marking a significant cultural catastrophe in modern Chinese history. Mr. Zhang Yuanji, the custodian of Hanfenlou, survived the ordeal and authored explanations for the remaining books, compiling them into the Hanfenlou Jinyu Shulu, which includes a total of 538 volumes. In addition to the books cataloged in Hanfenlou Jinyu Shulu, several other valuable Hanfenlou books have survived, known as "Excluding Books". While previous scholars have made some discoveries regarding these books, a comprehensive investigation has yet to be undertaken. This article aims to document the process of discovering "Excluding Books", introduce various examples of such books known to the author, analyze the reasons for their preservation, and provide valuable insights for scholars in this field.

  A Study on Version of Kuaigouguan Shiyicao in the University of British Columbia Library, Canada

  Library Science Research & Work. 2024, 0(4): 91.

  Abstract ( ) Download PDF ( )   Knowledge map   Save

  The Kuaigouguan Shiyicao is a personal literary collection by Xue Shiheng, a Ming dynasty scholar from Lingnan. Currently, there are four known extant versions of this book: 1) A Qing copy in the Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province; 2) A Republic of China era (1912-1949) manuscript preserved in the library of the University of British Columbia, Canada; 3) A 1937 edition of the Nanhua newspaper; and 4) A 1947 edition of the Guangdong series. The Republic-of-China-era manuscript held in Canada was originally owned by Yao Junshi’s PuBan collection. In 1959 on behalf of the library of the University of British Columbia, He Bingdi purchased it, which remained relatively obscure in scholarly circles for a long time. Through textual collation, it was discovered that the Canadian manuscript differs significantly from the other three versions, representing an independent textual system. Moreover, it contains 31 annotations with anonymous red ink marginalia which has rich philological value.
