With the advent of the big data era and the explosive growth of short video content, short video platforms
increasingly prioritize users' personalized needs. Algorithmic recommendation services have become a primary marketing
strategy, exacerbating the phenomenon of information narrowing. This study, using Douyin as a case study and based
on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), examines the impact of information narrowing on users' willingness to
adopt information. The findings reveal that information narrowing on short video platforms positively influences users'
willingness to adopt information, with information usefulness and usability playing mediating roles and user algorithm
literacy serving as a moderating factor. This research expands the application of TAM, enhances understanding of the
information narrowing phenomenon, and provides a reference for future studies.
Although there is significant potential for libraries to use ChatGPT-like tools, the risks of algorithmic
discrimination they introduce cannot be overlooked. Across the entire lifecycle—from data collection and training to
service provision, user interaction, and result presentation—algorithmic bias can arise, often with new characteristics
such as hidden and intersectional biases. The main causes of algorithmic discrimination include designer biases, user
biases, and technological barriers. Designer bias can lead algorithmic models to inherit and amplify societal biases; user
bias may exacerbate unequal service access due to variations in users’ digital literacy; and technological barriers may
prevent disadvantaged groups from accessing and utilizing intelligent technologies. The adverse effects of algorithmic
discrimination are significant, potentially transforming information inequality into social status inequality, leading to
unequal distribution of discourse power in knowledge production, and diminishing individual agency. To mitigate these
risks, libraries should first analyze the sources of discrimination, then implement ethical algorithm interventions to
counteract designer bias, enhance users’ digital literacy to reduce user bias, and foster an inclusive digital environment to
overcome technological service barriers, ensuring the responsible use of ChatGPT-like tools in libraries.
"Fool Resonance" is a network phenomenon that has emerged in recent years, rapidly spreading under the
influence of algorithmic models, and posing a significant threat to the enhancement of young people's information literacy.
This paper applies the partial least squares method to thoroughly analyze the causes and impacts of "fool resonance" and
proposes strategies to address it. The study reveals that the formation of the "fool resonance" phenomenon is the result of
the combined effects of the "information cocoon," "network Balkanization," and the "echo chamber" effect. These factors
lead to consequences such as cognitive narrowing, group polarization, and self-satisfaction among youth. Therefore, it is
crucial to remain vigilant and adopt appropriate measures to mitigate these effects.
This article, based on the Research Libraries Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence published by the
Association of Research Libraries (ARL), investigates the implementation of AI literacy education in all ARL member
libraries in higher education through an online survey. The results show that AI literacy education in ARL member
libraries is typically carried out through providing AI literacy research guides, embedded course instruction, seminars,
and collaborative projects. These initiatives are characterized by flexible and diverse formats, serving both teaching and
research needs, emphasizing AI ethics, fostering critical thinking, and promoting various forms of collaboration. Based on
these findings, it is suggested that university libraries in China could enhance the quality and level of AI literacy education
by organizing diverse educational activities, balancing knowledge and skills with ethical awareness, strengthening cross
disciplinary communication and collaboration, and keeping up with best practices in a timely manner.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence will drive the innovation and reshaping of library staff. From
an overall structural perspective, it will promote a series of optimizations and upgrades in job structures, educational
backgrounds, and other areas. From the perspective of librarians' abilities, it will lead to changes in core professional
skills, with data management and analysis, technology development and application, as well as humanistic literacy and
legal awareness likely becoming core competencies for librarians. Regarding the relationship between librarians and users,
it will help establish a two-way, collaborative, and mutually beneficial partnership between the two. In the face of these
changes, libraries should focus on stimulating librarians’ awareness of their roles, strengthening talent recruitment and
training mechanisms, enhancing collaborative cooperation with various interest communities, and increasing humanistic
care. This will foster the effective integration of artificial intelligence technology with library services, thereby promoting
the long-term development of library modernization.
The article explores the path and method of data management in Intangible Cultural Heritage based on Web
GIS technology on the basis of the construction practice of shadow puppetry Web GIS system. On the basis of traditional
relational database, the spatial elements are extended with the correspondence of latitude and longitude elements, and
added to the metadata scheme, so that it constitutes a new metadata scheme together with the time elements and attribute
elements. Data management can be realized in the network map by calling the data in the local server through the API
interface provided by the network map. The use of large-scale network map for the data management in Intangible
Cultural Heritage has the advantages of easy to use, easy to maintain, low cost, data portability, etc.; at the same time, it
can effectively realize the functions of data visual presentation, visual mining, visual analysis, and visual endangerment
warning of Intangible Cultural Heritage items.

The historic site of Henan University Library is situated on the Minglun campus of Henan University in
Kaifeng City, with No. 6 Building as its main structure. Originally intended for teaching and administrative use, this
building was not specifically designed as a library. Featuring a blend of Chinese and Western architectural elements, it is
the earliest and most representative structure among Henan University’s Republic of China-era buildings. From 1924 until
the library’s relocation in 1985, No. 6 Building served as the main library for 61 years, making lasting contributions to
Henan University’s development, talent cultivation, and the advancement of library services in Henan Province.
Mingshilu is a huge collection of records of Ming dynasty. A whole collection was kept in Baojing Library
more than a century ago. Some volumes are now kept in Fu Sinian Library, Institute of History and Language, Academia
Sinica, Taiwan. The National Library of China holds some volumes.The current paper aims to make it clear on how these
volumes became separated and collected by different libraries. It was in the fifth year of Republican period (1916) that
Mr. Chen Liyan, director of the Shanghai Ancient Bookstore, sold some volumes to Liu Chenggan , owner of Jiaye tang
Library. Later the library of Institute of Language and Literature of Sinica Academia purchased these volumes from Liu
Chenggan. In 1949, the Library of Institute of Language and Literature of Sinica Academia moved to Taiwan.The volumes
collected by National Library of China belonged to Mo Hai Library before. During the turmoil years of Taiping Rebellion
(1851-1864), many volumes originally kept in Baojing Library got lost and were obtained by Mohai Library. The owner of
Mohai Library sold these volumes to the Li's family in Ningbo in 1928. The Li's family, the new owner who obtained these
volumes, built a library named Xuanyin Library. The owner of this library donated his collection of books to the state in
early 1950s when the People's Republic of China was founded . Most of his collection went to Zhejiang Library. However,
the volumes of Mingshilu (The Veritable Records of the Ming) went to Beijing Library (now the National Library of
China).
The University of Macau Library has recently acquired a rare 1491 Latin second edition of Euclid's Elements,
published in Vicenza, Italy, by Leonardus de Basilea and Gulielmus de Papia. This edition comprises 15 volumes and 136
leaves (272 pages, excluding blank pages). Euclid's original compilation consisted of only 13 volumes, with the final two
added by later scholars. Often regarded as "the oldest mathematics textbook," Elements was the first work in mathematical
history to establish a logical deductive system based on axioms. It has been widely disseminated and holds a historical
influence. The Chinese translation of Elements occurred in two stages: the first six volumes were co-translated by Italian
missionary Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi between 1606 and 1607, while the remaining nine volumes were translated and
published in 1857 by British missionary Alexander Wylie and Li Shanlan under the London Missionary Society. The 1491
Latin edition recently acquired by the University of Macau Library is the first known incunabulum of its kind housed in
Macau. This paper explores the origins and distinctive features of this rare edition.
