  During the Republican era in China, libraries and museums maintained a close and intertwined relationship, shaped by both foreign influences and indigenous factors. This article adopts a historical research approach to trace the transnational trajectory of the concept of “library-museum integration”—originating in the United Kingdom, transplanted to Japan, and subsequently introduced to China, where it underwent localized transformation. Under the influence of various educational ideologies including auxiliary education, social education, vocational training, and new democratic cultural education—the concept of “library-museum integration” in China manifested in several distinctive forms, including dual-purpose institutions, parallel development, scholarly community, and interdisciplinary academic programs. The article argues that institutional inertia rooted in aristocratic traditions played a key role in shaping the British model of “library-museum integration”. In Japan, driven by industrial development, the concept was functionally restructured. In the Chinese context, educational factors proved decisive in the evolution of the concept of “library-museum integration” in modern China.

  Addressing the static limitations in the study of the evolution of Chinese painting theory, this research employs digital humanities technologies to analyze the patterns of conceptual evolution and the mechanisms of artistic innovation.Based on over 1 400 pieces of painting theory literature from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties, a four-dimensional evaluation system was constructed using text mining methods to identify frequent terms. The TF-IDF algorithm was used to detect hot terms, and a hotspot index was established based on term weights. Through diachronic novelty and intergenerational inheritance analysis, new terms were identified, and a vitality index was created based on the mean weight of new terms. The study found that 23 high-frequency core categories, such as “brush” “ink” “mountain” and “water” form a cluster of (trans-temporal) concepts. Their evolution exhibits three distinct stages: the pre-Tang system of form and spirit realism, the Song-Yuan shift towards expressive abstraction, and the Ming-Qing period of stylistic rigidity. Artistic innovation follows a “double-peak decay” pattern, with the Song dynasty marking the peak of theoretical development,while the Ming and Qing dynasties fell into a vitality crisis due to technical summarization. This research provides a quantitative paradigm for analyzing traditional art theories.

  Against the backdrop of the rapid iterative development of artificial intelligence, what obvious changes will occur in an organization's knowledge management is a theoretical and practical issue worthy of study. Based on the classic SECI process model of knowledge management and Don Ihde’s human-technology relationship theory, this article explores the development trend of organizational knowledge management under artificial intelligence from multiple dimensions. The substitutability of the artificial intelligence knowledge engine will lead to the development and changes of the knowledge private domain, and organizations will pay more attention to the construction of the knowledge private domain and give rise to the path of the new apprenticeship system. The development trend of this knowledge private domain and the new apprenticeship system is expected to provide valuable inspirations for organizations to balance knowledge security and innovative vitality, and promote the in-depth study of knowledge management theory and the transformation of practice.

  The wave of large language model technologies has fostered the widespread development of generative AI (GenAI) tools and the upgrading of the knowledge service paradigm. Various organizations have chosen different upgrade paths in the face of the new window of knowledge services brought by GenAI tools. This paper analyzes the four major application directions and differentiated application trends of GenAI tools in the field of knowledge service through case studies, and points out that literature data platforms need to pay more attention to the application of GenAI tools in intelligent knowledge retrieval. Taking the construction of the AI assistant to modern literature research of “Quan Guo Bao Kan Suo Yin” as an example, the article provides a reference for the intelligent transformation of other literature database by deconstructing the upgrading paths and practical effects.

  Transformative agreements play an important role in advancing open access and open science. Compared with foreign countries, mainland universities in China have insufficient understanding of open access transformation, and carry out relatively few practices about it. This paper first analyzes the current situation of global open access transformation practice, then takes the United Kingdom, Germany and Netherlands as examples to analyze the effectiveness of transformative agreements from the dimensions of promoting open access publishing, controlling publishing costs, and improving the impact of academic achievements. Finally, this paper takes the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China as an example, and selects Cambridge University Press, RSC Press and ACM Press as representatives, which have their own characteristics on open access transformation schemes, to elaborate the specific process and precautions for individual institutions to evaluate the feasibility of implementing open access transformation. Exploring diversified transformative agreements, issuing support policies for open access publishing, providing sufficient financial guarantees, and increasing the publicity and promotion of open access publishing and open access transformation can provide strong support for the implementation of open access transformation in China.

  Archives have emerged in the open science movement. The two-way interaction between open science movement and archival information services lays the scientific foundation and necessity for exploring archival information services for open science. This paper takes the four pillars mentioned in UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science,including open scientific knowledge, open scientific infrastructure, open participation, and open dialog, as a research framework, connects their conceptual connotations with the archival information service scenarios, and explores the direction of the development of archival information services in the context of open science. There are four practical scenarios for archival information services for open science: open archival knowledge service scenarios, open archival infrastructure, open public participation scenarios, and open dialogue scenarios. Providing archival information services for open science requires archives to improve the openness and sharing of archival resources, strengthen the functional construction of open archival infrastructure, build an open and participatory archival practice ecosystem, and pay attention to integrating the concept of collaboration into archival services. In the future, archives in China should adhere to the principle of dialectics and explore new development paths for archival information services in the open science movement.
