Oral Archives can comprehensively present the whole life and creation process of writers, therefore it can make  up  for  the  limitation  that  the  research  on  writers  is  limited  to  their  works  and  comments,  and  make  the  research material more sufficient and the research viewpoint more diversified, and therefore have a very positive significance. The collection and collation of the writers oral archives have already been very popular in United States, United Kingdom, Ireland,  Canada,  Australia  and  some  African  countries  where  the  oral  tradition  has  its  long  history.  In  recent  years, many  institutions  and  individuals  in  Mainland  China  have  been  engaged  in  oral  interviews  with  writers.  However, their  operations  are  mostly  in  decentralized  state,  therefore  it  is  an  inevitable  trend  to  establish  a  national  Writers Oral  Archives  to  achieve  co-construction  and  sharing  of  resources.  Meanwhile,  the  feasible  solutions  to  the  situation of  “focusing  on  collecting  and  ignoring  the  management  and  utilization”  were  put  forward,  for  example  the  up-front cataloging and the restriction of access under the network environment.

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.

In 2022, generative artificial intelligence, with ChatGPT as a prominent example, emerged as a powerful force, rapidly infiltrating various industries. Representing a significant technological breakthrough from being merely functional to being user-friendly, generative artificial intelligence aligns with the fundamental direction of the digital library's transformation into a smart library. It promises innovative applications in resource development, service models, and service ecosystems. The Zhejiang Library's Zhejiang Xinguan has constructed an integrated framework for smart libraries and actively explored the potential applications of generative AI within this framework. This exploration serves as a valuable insight for libraries, encouraging them to seek technological empowerment through enhanced collaboration, upgraded hardware and software infrastructure, strengthened local data development, expanded smart service scenarios, and improved user interaction experiences. It also highlights the importance of mitigating potential technological risks from data security, legal issues, and AI ethics.

Based on the folk collection of manuscripts of the Qing Dynasty Xiaoshan Metropolitan Examination Titles, referring to the Qing Dynasty imperial examination materials and the relevant research results, the article describes the Xiaoshan metropolitan examination in the Qing Dynasty. The paper also makes supplementary records for the manuscript that did not include Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations). It examines the phenomenon of "maoji" (fraudulent membership) among the Xiaoshan Jinshi, the imperial examination family and the important officials of the imperial court. In this way, we can reflect on the developments of the Xiaoshan imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty, especially the metropolitan examination. Since Xiaoshan has changed its name and the area under its jurisdiction repeatedly in history, the paper is based on the area under the jurisdiction of Xiaoshan before the establishment of Binjiang District in 1996.
