LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2025, 45(12): 11-22.A paradigm shift in knowledge production,driven by digital and intelligent technologies,is profoundly restructuring the academic labor market. This article focuses on the localized development of alternative academic careers （Alt-ac） in the field of Information Resources Management （IRM） in mainland China. Alt-ac positions require doctoral education and academic training,but they do not strictly adhere to traditional academic norms and values. Using social network analysis and deep learning methods,this study systematically examines the characteristics and developmental mechanisms of Alt-ac careers by developing a database of 8,035 job postings. The results show that：（1） Alt-ac development exhibits a bottom-up trajectory comprising three phases：initial emergence （2010-2016）,scale expansion （2017-2020）,and diversified consolidation （2021-present）;（2） institutions holding Alt-ac positions have shifted from primarily academic libraries to diverse sectors,including government agencies and industries;（3） a typological framework for Alt-ac is proposed based on organizational role,cultivation pathways,functional attributes,and business orientation;and （4） key drivers of Alt-ac development include shifts in knowledge paradigms,digitally oriented policy environments,and structural dynamics in talent supply and demand. This study provides empirical insights for doctoral education reform and the development of emerging academic careers within the discipline.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2025, 45(12): 35-46.The distribution of data element revenue is complex and affects the effectiveness of developing the data element market and releasing its value. Understanding the structural characteristics and internal connections of its policy elements is of great significance for optimizing policy orientation,unleashing the potential of factors,and promoting high-quality development. Based on 170 related policy texts,this paper employs bibliometrics,content analysis and the BERTopic model to create an analytical framework from a “structure-tool” perspective,and summarize the key points of the distribution rules. The results show that the distribution of data element revenue in China is in its infancy,experiencing rapid development marked by significant regional disparities. Related policies cover multiple themes and stages,prioritizing public data and primary distribution while undervaluing non-public data and secondary distribution. There is a bias in policy tool pathways,with heavy reliance on environmental tools for indirect support. The study proposes clarifying the flow of primary distribution,improving the regulatory mechanism for secondary distribution,and balancing the roles of policy tools.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2025, 45(12): 65-75.This paper uses the LDA topic model and the LIWC sentiment lexicon to examine the thematic content and sentimental tendencies in the bullet comments （danmuku） of videos related to The Classic of Mountains and Seas （ShanHaiJing） on Bilibili.com,taking into account the characteristics of commentary wording and emotional expression,so as to reveal the public's focal points and opinions during the modern transformation of classics in the digital era. The study suggests that the popularity of classical works in modern society is driven by factors such as cultural IP development,entertainment-based reconstruction,diverse content creation,and increased interactivity. However,the revitalization of classics is threatened by excessive entertainment,insufficient exploration of original works,and uneven creative quality. It is recommended to enhance the effectiveness of revitalizing classical texts by recoding the content of classics,shaping cultural IPs,optimizing the content creation system,and innovating dissemination pathways,all while managing risks and leveraging advantages.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2025, 45(12): 98-107.As a prominent work of Chinese literature,Du Fu's poetry is highly revered overseas,and has inspired numerous foreign editions,exemplifying the global dissemination of Chinese classics. This paper examines the text selection,textual reconstruction,and publication characteristics of Northeast Asian editions of Du Fu's poetry in the Harvard-Yenching Library. The study explores the contemporary implications of their reception overseas in promoting excellent Chinese culture internationally,so as to shed light on the propagation of Chinese classics in the new era. The Korean Peninsula primarily embraces Du Fu's regulated verse anthologies,published through official and commercial imprints,and adapted through methods such as rhyme categorization,thematic classification and annotated commentary. In Japan,privately printed editions of Du Fu's regulated verses are central,reshaped through the use of xundu symbols,aotou and lecture-style notes. Through textual adaptability,localized recontextualization,and support from local publishing forces,Du Fu's poetry achieves creative transformation and innovative development abroad. In the new era,Chinese classic texts should adopt a tiered textual dissemination strategy,implement localized textual reconstruction,and expand communication channels to promote the global dissemination and influence of excellent Chinese culture.

This paper establishes an integrated TOE-H model by incorporating the human （H） factor into the technology-organization-environment （TOE） framework. Next,an indicator system for algorithmic risk factors is created based on a literature analysis and the Delphi method. Then,the relationships among these factors are quantitatively analyzed using the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory （DEMATEL） and Interpretive Structural Modeling （ISM） methods to explore the factors' influence and criticality. Thus,a hierarchical structure model of the influencing factors is developed. The results show that,among the 20 factors,the most influencial ones are capital-driven decision logic,legal regulatory measures,algorithmic ethical norms,algorithmic evaluation mechanisms,overreliance on algorithmic intelligence,developer cognitive biases,and algorithm literacy levels. In the hierarchical structure model,legal regulatory measures,algorithmic ethical norms,algorithmic evaluation mechanisms,developer cognitive biases,and algorithm literacy levels are root factors,while capital-driven decision logic and overreliance on algorithmic intelligence are surface factors. Based on these findings,corresponding governance strategies are proposed.
