LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 2-7.Based on the pilot projects gradually launched in the construction of primary-level public cultural service systems in Guangzhou since 2022 and the basic theories of a community with a shared future for mankind,the common human values and national governance construction,this article analyzes the new concept,idea and model of the public cultural community proposed by Guangzhou City. The article believes that the public cultural community is conducive to achieving transformation and upgrading in four aspects：from the public cultural service system to the public cultural cooperation alliance,from public cultural social participation to public cultural citizen participation,from public cultural security to public cultural influence,from public cultural co-construction and sharing to public cultural co-governance and co-creation. The article believes that the public cultural community is conducive to reflecting the values of public cultural rights,common interests of public culture,public cultural efficacy and public cultural governance. The article points out that the implementation of the public cultural community from "public culture+" to "public culture×" transformation and upgrading is an inevitable trend of the construction of primary-level public cultural service systems.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 11-19.The promotion of local innovative experience is a key issue in the field of public culture. This paper examines the transformation of the local experience of "public cultural community" in Guangzhou into the provincial policy of "public cultural service community" in Guangdong. This process helps to recognize the profound connotation of the construction of a public cultural service community,as well as to better understand the issue of "promoting local innovative experience". There are typical issues of applicability,feasibility,and integrality in the transformation of local innovative experience in public culture. The first two issues can be analyzed through cases and ideas related to "active innovative practices",while the issue of integrality is mainly based on past experiences and materials. The Guidelines for the Construction of the Public Cultural Service Community in Guangdong Province systematically takes into account the favorable conditions and major obstacles in the process of transforming the community into provincial policy,hoping to provide references for strengthening the replicability and promotability of local innovative experience.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 71-79.This paper tries to construct a recognition model of conceptual knowledge elements,which could be used in researches on both disciplinary evolution and conceptual evolution. First,vocabulary,reference books and journal paper keywords related to library science are selected as the corpus. Then,based on the acquisition and integrated processing of the conceptual knowledge elements,the hierarchy relationships,equivalence relationships and correlation relationships among such the conceptual knowledge elements are identified. By means of pattern matching method,similarity calculation method and CLC number intermediary method,the historical evolution of the conceptual knowledge elements are identified too,and ten conceptual collections which could reflect the trend of Chinese library science conceptual knowledge elements are obtained. Finally,a database of Chinese library science conceptual knowledge elements is constructed. The research shows that the database of conceptual knowledge elements is constructed based on the disciplinary evolution with historical evolution characteristics,so it not only expands the dimension of disciplinary information and content disclosure,realizes the aggregation of historical documents on specific topics,but also facilitates the disciplinary users to understand the past and present of conceptual knowledge elements.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 80-87.Information technology has transformed the infrastructural environment of public cultural services. Digitalization enables the development of public cultural services by adding new factors of production to facilitate a high fit between technology and culture,expanding the boundaries of communication to promote economies of scale and the long tail,increasing the use of digital technology to alleviate cost problems,and stimulating the creation of user-generated content to reshape commercial value. The digitalization of public cultural services aims to create new value with the support of digital technology,and to provide new services with a good sense of gain and experience for the public by taking advantage of digital technology. To do a good job in digitalizing public cultural services,it is necessary to carry out an integrated planning with a systematic and strategic vision,and to develop a good digital ecosystem,so that an open value network of collaboration,co-creation,symbiosis and sharing between different elements and entities at all levels is created.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 88-95.The rapid development of the digital economy has exacerbated the risks of personal information protection,such as policy and institutional failures,excessive information analysis,and cross-border information leakage. The dual advantages of agile governance,i.e.,high flexibility and multi-entity collaboration,can help to bridge the risks of personal information protection. This paper proposes an analytical framework for “agile governance of information protection risks”,and analyzes the operational mechanism of information protection and risk prevention in the Netherlands. The result shows that agile governance could effectively bridge the risks of institutional construction,information abuse,and inadequate regulation in personal information protection;and there are a set of complex driving mechanisms in agile governance,such as restructuring personal information protection goals and systems,promoting collaboration among multiple stakeholders such as the government,the market,and the public,implementing personal information protection measures,and constructing diverse regulatory models.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 96-105.The importance of scientific collaboration has become evident in promoting scientific research,and its credit allocation has not received sufficient attention from the academic community. Studying the rules of co-authorship is conducive to revealing the mechanism of contributorship and credit allocation in scientific collaboration from a microscopic perspective. Using a sample of co-authored papers published in the journal Library and Information Service from 2015 to 2021,this article analyzes the factors influencing co-authorship credit allocation in terms of intellectual contribution and status using logistic regression. The study suggests that three intellectual activities,i.e. research design,writing the manuscript,and finalizing the paper,and author status have a significant impact on credit allocation;while the effect of writing supervision,data collection,and technical support is no longer significant when authorship status is controlled. The results show that the credit allocation in domestic scientific collaboration is jointly influenced by intellectual contributions and status;and relevant institutions should fully consider the impact of differences in author status on the credit allocation in the process of formulating scientific evaluation policies,in order to create a good ecological environment for scientific collaboration.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 106-115.The study aims to realize the digital health dividend,improve the health level of digital immigrants,promote the multi-faceted layout and construction of the “big health” project,and advance the realization and development of the national strategic goal of “health for all and comprehensive health”. Focusing on digital immigrants,and by means of in-depth interviews and qualitative analysis,it first tries to extract the health care needs and barriers of digital immigrants. As for the health care needs of digital immigrants,there are 54 initial concepts,24 need categories,9 main categories of needs and 4 core dimensions;as for the health care barriers of digital immigrants,there are 44 initial concepts,17 categories of barriers,8 main categories of barriers and 3 core dimensions. The result shows that the core health care needs of digital immigrants invole four main dimensions,i.e.,individual dimension,family dimension,social and government dimension,and information capability dimension,while the health care barriers of digital immigrants involve three main dimensions,i.e.,emotional cognitive dimension,capability characteristic dimension,and external characteristic dimension. It then proposes a four-in-one health care service model of “friends,family,platform and government” from a multidimensional perspective. With the core goal of realizing individual health rights and fully enjoying digital dividends,this service model takes into account multi-dimensional service contents,provides health care services for the group of digital migration from multiple levels and fields,and escorts them to participate in the overall health construction of society in a self-disciplined manner,so as to realize the further development of individual health services in the context of “socialization of health”.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 116-124.The application and development of metaverse-related technologies is an important opportunity to promote the transformation and optimization of library services,providing a direction for the construction of multiple spaces and guidance for the innovation of public library spatial services. This paper conducts in-depth interviews with public library users of different ages,educational backgrounds,professions and geographical areas,and explores their demands for public library spatial services using the method of grounded theory. Based on the KANO model,it develops a model of public library users' spatial service demands in the metaverse field,and then proposes some development strategies. The results show that library management is an external driver of users’ spatial service demands,and user experience and space configurations are the internal drivers. With intelligence as the goal,multiple governance as the means,and technology as the basis,public libraries should improve spatial services from three aspects：library construction,user needs and space configurations.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 134-143.Academic writing is one of the main applications of ChatGPT. This paper focuses on the core journal articles in the field of intelligence. Starting from three dimensions：word,sentence,and paragraph,text processing methods such as part-of-speech tagging and n-gram are used to compare the introductions of articles produced by ChatGPT and humans. Furthermore,determining whether the academic content was generated by ChatGPT is treated as a binary classification task. Naive Bayes,Support Vector Machine,and Random Forest algorithms are employed for text classification experiments,and the SHAP method is used to analyze the significance of textual structural features. The study shows that ChatGPT has weaknesses in describing factual information with specific dates and in referencing policy documents or research reports. The introductions generated by ChatGPT are relatively consistent in length,and its academic writing tends to be more "rule-following" compared to human authors. Plagiarism detection tools typically struggle to accurately identify the originality of content produced by ChatGPT. However,classification models are better at distinguishing whether the introductions were generated by ChatGPT. Average sentence length,lexical diversity,and total text length are the most significant textual structural features that influence classification results.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 152-154.Intergenerational parenting takes place both at home and abroad,especially in rural China. However,there are few studies on the information dilemma of this community. By studying the information environment,information awareness and needs,and information activities of the children raised by grandparents in rural areas,it examines their information dilemma and explores the way out of the dilemma. A field study was conducted in one county in Shandong Province,China. Data from 17 transcripts of the children and their grandparents,collected through online surveys,observation and interviews,were coded at three levels,described and analyzed using text analysis with the aid of NVivo11. This paper summarizes the current situation of the children’s information environment and information activities in the county,refines the characteristics of the information dilemma they face,establishes a model of the occurrence mechanism of their information dilemma,and explains the transmission pathways. Finally,it proposes strategies to help these rural children to escape the information dilemma based on six responsible bodies. The findings of the study have important implications for solving social information problems and helping rural children raised by grandparents to overcome the dilemma.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 165-177.Exploring the formation mechanism of academic information-seeking frustration and the responses of college students is helpful in promoting the refinement of the theoretical model of academic information-seeking from an emotional perspective and improving the information-seeking experience. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 34 randomly selected college students to investigate their frustration in the process of information-seeking for professional learning and research. Using grounded theory with three levels of coding,this paper analyzes the interview data and creates a model of college students’ academic information-seeking frustration from three aspects of frustration causes,frustration emotions and behavioral responses. The results show that academic information-seeking frustration is mainly influenced by three factors：user,task and environment. Students tend to feel resentment towards the outside world or themselves and respond emotionally or rationally when they are frustrated. This study reveals the frustration in academic information-seeking caused by non-difficult factors such as user expectation and social environment,which will help to further enrich the research on academic information-seeking behavior from an emotional perspective.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 178-186.In the post-epidemic era,the normalised coexistence of humans and Covid-19 makes the management of information epidemics（infodemics）non-negligible. As a top-level design,digital health interventions can effectively enhance the prevention and control of information epidemics. Based on the improvement for the missing infodemic intervention components,the article builds a UEIR information epidemic evolution model,and uses Netlogo to perform dynamic simulation on the scale-free network to analyze the effects of awareness,infection,initial immunity,acquired immunity,and reinfection rates at different values. The study reveals the macroscopic law of information epidemic evolution and finds that the adoption of systematic intervention measures can reduce the impact of information epidemics,providing a scientific basis to complement the top-level design of digital health interventions to guide the prevention and control of information epidemics.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 187-198.In order to improve the continuous use behavior of mobile library users,we investigated the influencing factors and the formation mechanism of the intermittent discontinuance behavior of mobile library users,hoping to provide a theoretical basis for the iterative renewal of mobile libraries. Based on the S-O-R model and expectancy disconfirmation theory,we developed a model and designed a questionnaire to obtain the data,which were analyzed using the partial least squares method. The results show that system overload,information overload and service overload affect perceived usefulness failure,system overload and service overload affect perceived ease of use failure,perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness failure cause user dissatisfaction,resulting in intermittent discontinuance behavior. In response to the above findings,some recommendations are proposed for the optimization of mobile libraries.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 199-210.Exploring the mechanism of social media users’opinion formation,and revealing the important factors influencing netizens’opinion formation can provide insights into the behaviour patterns of online users and the nature of online public opinion. Using Weibo posts on the topic of“double reduction”（namely,easing the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for students undergoing compulsory education） as the data source,this article explores users’opinions through a topic model and the sentiment analysis method based on machine learning. It creates feature variables from the perspectives of opinion atmosphere,social relationships,early behavioural characteristics and user attributes,and establishes emotion prediction models under different topics based on LightGBM. By ranking the importance of the features by means of SHapley Additive ExPlanations （SHAP）,it discovers the essential factors that affect the formation of social media users’opinions. The study found that users’ opinions are more likely to be influenced by the characteristics of early behaviour,followed by the opinion atmosphere,and that social relationships,i.e. friends,have a weak impact;individuals are more likely to follow larger social media influencers than to worship authority in terms of emotional tendencies.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 211-219.Digital reading and social sharing have created a new situation for online book clubs. With the emergence of the danmaku comments（real-time comments,or,bullet comments）,online book clubs generate reader comments based on two different timelines：playing time and reader comment time. Comparing the characteristics of traditional and bullet comments in terms of content and behavior,this study indicates that comment types significantly affect the content of reader comments. Specifically,bullet comments tend to be the shallow communication for social entertainment,prolonging the discussion in online book clubs in the time dimension;meanwhile,traditional comments are more focused on the discussion of the books,bearing the hallmark of in-depth deliberation in the spatial dimension. By reviewing the historical scenes of reading communication,the study finds that the media bias in commenting reflects that media culture,characterized by primary orality（oral culture）,textuality（written culture）and secondary orality,has shaped the mindset and communication patterns of online book club readers with its dominant internalized mode of communication,both in terms of environment and form,thus providing a theoretical note on the characteristics of readers' commenting behavior in the digital age.

LIBRARY TRIBUNE. 2024, 44(3): 220-231.In order to analyze the health information seeking behavior patterns of older women in China,this paper conducts semi-structured interviews with 15 female participants aged 60 years or older,and codes the interview data using grounded theory. Through the analysis of the data,it is found that older Chinese women’s health information seeking behavior,which is largely influenced by the social norms,social types,world views,language and customs of the communities in which they live,has the distinct characteristics described by the small world theory;and that cross-border health information seeking behavior also occurs in some specific contexts. This study suggests that their health information seeking practices fall into a pattern of concentric life circles,centered on the small world life in the round and extended by transitional and unfamiliar life circles. The theory of “concentric life circles” can help older women to break out of their “small world” and guide them towards effective access to quality health information.
