[Purpose/Significance] The library is currently in a critical period of development for the "15th Five-Year Plan", and the intelligent strategy is one of the key areas of the library's "15th Five-Year Plan". The large-scale modeling technologies represented by DeepSeek, ZhipuAI, ChatGPT, etc. are reshaping the boundaries and forms of knowledge services through the deep integration of new-generation artificial intelligence technologies and knowledge service systems, providing important theoretical and technical support for the development of library intelligence strategies during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Therefore, exploring how DeepSeek enhances library knowledge services has become one of the most cutting-edge issues worth paying attention to in the library and information science (LIS) field. [Method/Process] On the basis of a brief review of the current state of research on the integration of DeepSeek and library knowledge service theory, this article designs and proposes a theoretical model for DeepSeek to enhance library knowledge services. It explores the innovative model of DeepSeek that empowers library knowledge services from five aspects: knowledge discovery, knowledge acquisition, knowledge analysis, knowledge recombination, and knowledge utilization and thoroughly analyzes the four core dimensions of technology empowerment, business empowerment, user empowerment, and ecological empowerment. It also elaborates on the security issues of large models caused by the open source strategy, the intellectual property risks caused by technological innovation, the knowledge illusion problems caused by data traps and defects, and the information cocoon problems caused by technological applications. This study aims to provide some reference and inspiration for the research of related issues. [Results/Conclusions] The library is currently in a critical period of development for the "15th Five-Year Plan". DeepSeek's inherent technological advantages such as low cost, high performance, and open source ecosystem not only enable the library knowledge service system in multiple dimensions, reshape the boundaries and forms of knowledge services, comprehensively enhance users' knowledge service experience, but also provide stronger impetus for library construction, management, and service in the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The theoretical model of DeepSeek empowerment of library knowledge services mainly includes four core dimensions: technology empowerment, business empowerment, user empowerment, and ecological empowerment. It has an impact on library service innovation in five aspects: knowledge discovery, knowledge acquisition, knowledge analysis, knowledge recombination, and knowledge utilization. At the same time, it can bring many problems, such as model security, intellectual property risks, knowledge illusions, and information cocoons. From the existing public information, DeepSeek can provide important technical support and core driving force for library knowledge service innovation in the era of artificial intelligence from four aspects: technical algorithms, training cost, open source ecology, and local lightweight deployment. Since the gradual formation of the DeepSeek open source ecosystem, more and more enterprises, communities, research institutions, teams, and developers have actively participated in and built the industry ecosystem, showing a strong magnetic field effect. Libraries should adhere to the principle of "join if you can't win", actively integrate into the DeepSeek open source ecosystem, and build an ecosystem of knowledge service ecosystems with library industry characteristics and disciplinary features.

[Purpose/Significance] With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs), the role of "prompt librarians" has emerged. This study constructs a theoretical framework for prompt librarians and explores the rationality, feasibility, and significance of the transition of librarians to this role from the perspective of new quality productive forces. Driven by the new quality productive forces represented by AI, transforming librarians into prompt librarians can not only optimize application scenarios and user experience, but also improve work efficiency and effectively promote the intelligent transformation of libraries. There is currently no research on this topic in the existing literature. This study, for the first time, proposes a theoretical framework for prompt librarians and the implementation path for the transition of librarians, filling the research gap in this area. [Method/Process] Through a review of relevant national and international literature, this study examines the impact of AI on the role and positioning of librarians within the library industry. Taking the new quality productive forces as the theoretical foundation and driving factor, the study explains the necessity of the transition of public librarians to prompt librarians, and analyzes the rationality, feasibility, and significance of this transition. Furthermore, a theoretical framework for prompt librarians is constructed, encompassing concepts, scope of functions, work processes, and core competencies. Additionally, through the method of literature review and online surveys, the study examines the current status of information and knowledge services in public libraries, focusing on the top thirty libraries ranked by online influence in China. It identifies the major challenges faced by librarians in the transition. Based on the theoretical framework of prompt librarians and real-world challenges, the study explores the implementation path for the transition of librarians to prompt librarians, ensuring the scientific, logical, and innovative nature of the research. [Results/Conclusions] As an emerging role that combines the library industry with AI technology, prompt librarians, driven by user needs, explore the unique resources of their collections in depth, revitalizing literature, diverse information resources, and other materials through AI pathways. They act as guides and translators between knowledge and AI, effectively driving the intelligent transformation of libraries. However, the transition of librarians faces many challenges. To facilitate a smooth transition, this study proposes implementation pathways, such as the establishment of dedicated prompt librarian positions, a "three-step leap" training model for librarians, robust top-level planning, the construction of multi-modal resource service platforms, AI ethics considerations, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through these explorations, the study aims to provide innovative ideas and practical guidance for the transition of librarians in the AI era, enrich research on the application scenarios of new quality productive forces, and enhance the service quality and competitiveness of libraries.

[Purpose/Significance] Satisfaction is the patient's evaluation and emotional feedback on the entire mobile healthcare experience. Not only does it directly affect the patient's experience, but it also significantly influences user adoption and retention. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influencing factors, hierarchical relationships, and associated pathways of user satisfaction with mobile health applications, and provide scientific evidence and practical recommendations for the healthy development of mobile health applications, thereby promoting the construction of a healthy China and intelligent healthcare. By clarifying the key drivers of user satisfaction and their interactions, the study provides theoretical support for enhancing user experience, optimizing service quality, and increasing user retention. [Method/Process] This study first crawled, cleaned, and filtered negative user review data from mobile health applications, resulting in 539 valid data points after processing. Using the grounded theory, the study extracted factors influencing user satisfaction with mobile health applications by coding the review data. Subsequently, based on the interpretive structural model (ISM), the internal logic and associated pathways between these influencing factors were explored. Finally, the cross-impact matrix multiplication (MICMAC) method was used to examine the dependencies and driving forces among the influencing factors, and to identify the key factors affecting user satisfaction with mobile health applications. [Results/Conclusions] The study found that user satisfaction with mobile health applications is influenced by 23 factors across eight dimensions, including physician service quality, management service quality, system quality, information quality, transaction quality, perceived value, perceived risk, and perceived cost. Perceived cost and perceived risk are key drivers that directly affect user satisfaction. The middle-level factors transmit the effects of the bottom-level factors to the top level, acting as "mediators," and consist of factors from the dimensions of system quality, information quality, perceived value, transaction quality, and perceived risk. The bottom-level factors are the primary driving forces, including the quality of medical service, management service quality, system quality, and information quality. Based on the analysis results, this study proposes the following practical recommendations: strictly review the qualifications of doctors and establish a service quality evaluation mechanism; provide communication training for doctors and simplify medical terminology; add artificial intelligence and human services, and regularly train management service staff; design a simple interface and offer personalized customization; ensure information security and privacy, follow the principle of minimal data collection, and allow users to view and delete their personal information. Subsequent research, based on the expansion of the types of mobile health applications, will use a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore more deeply the relationships among the various factors that influence user satisfaction.

[Purpose/Significance] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) technology and the deepening of social impact, it is an important responsibility and historical mission of university libraries to cultivate and enhance students' critical information literacy (IL) in the application of AIGC. The research aims to explore the content and pedagogical strategies of critical IL education in university libraries for AIGC applications, promote the ability of college students to critically recognize and apply AIGC in the AI era, and also provide reference for the development of critical IL education in university libraries. [Method/Process] By reviewing the relevant literature at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the research status of critical IL education for AIGC applications. Based on the requirements of the "Higher Education Information Literacy Framework" for the cultivation of critical thinking ability, the current situation of critical IL education in university libraries, and the relevant policies and guidelines for the development of AI literacy education at home and abroad are reviewed. The content of critical IL education in university libraries for AIGC applications can be categorized into three aspects: AIGC application knowledge, AIGC application skills, and AIGC application ethics. At the same time, based on the requirements of IFLA library's Strategic Response to Artificial Intelligence' and the lack of IL education system in university libraries, it is proposed that the critical IL education of university libraries from the perspective of AIGC application should be ensured and implemented from the aspects of educational content integration, educational team building, educational mode development and educational system optimization. [Results/Conclusions] The research on critical IL education for AIGC application has a critical role in promoting the cultivation and improvement of students' critical thinking ability for AIGC. University libraries should be aware of their responsibilities, actively respond to the new requirements of critical IL education for AIGC applications, innovate and expand the content and form of IL education, and help students acquire the new IL skills needed for AIGC applications. At the same time, university libraries should also continuously update the content of critical IL education from the perspective of AIGC application, and have the courage to explore new teaching methods and strategies, so as to better cultivate and improve students' IL of AIGC application, help students use AIGC scientifically, correctly and normatively, and realize lifelong learning.

[Purpose/Significance] Public access policy plays a crucial role in raising the awareness of openness, promoting scientific progress and innovation development. Studying the current situation of scientific data sharing in international countries can provide a reference for the practice and development of scientific data sharing activities in China. [Method/Process] Over the past 15 years, an increasing number of funding agencies in the United States have responded to national policy calls to require funded projects to share the research results in order to improve the effectiveness of the grant implementation and to promote scientific development. To this end, many academic institutions have established and provided a variety of data support facilities and services, but these facilities and services are often scattered across different administrative departments. Data management and sharing activities under this model suffer from organizational deficiencies, fragmented activities, overlapping services, inaccessibility, and others that reduce the efficiency of public access to scientific data. In order to understand the reality of scientific data sharing, ARL conducted a fact-based study named the RADS initiative on the scientific data sharing model, with survey respondents coming from six research-intensive universities in the United States, who are involved in scientific data management and sharing, resulting in a relatively comprehensive survey. The article adopts the network research method and literature analysis method, through the interpretation of the first phase of ARL's RADS Initiative series of reports and materials, to comprehensively understand the composition of the entire life cycle of scientific data management and sharing activities, service content and implementation costs of the U.S. academic institutions under the public access policy. We also analyze the behavioral characteristics of the two main actors of the U.S. colleges and universities involved in the practice of scientific data sharing, the characteristics of the activities and support services, and summarize the real problems of scientific data management. The practical problems of scientific data sharing include inter-departmental coordination and linkage, gaps in supply and demand between disciplines, boundaries between disciplines, inadequate cost-benefit evaluation, and the availability of shared data to the public. [Results/Conclusions] On the basis of summarizing the successful experiences and shortcomings of the RADS Initiative, and taking into account the current situation of scientific data sharing in China, this paper puts forward the construction ideas and quality enhancement suggestions to promote the implementation of scientific data sharing activities in China at each level with an emphasis on public participation, We propose to integrate the coordinated development and optimize cost-effectiveness, foster the data literacy and emphasize user feedback, focus on the public access, and construct the core clusters.

[Purpose/Significance] Information literacy (IL) training for farmers has become one of the main contents for farmers in the new era. However, the current implementation of rural revitalization still does not pay enough attention to farmers. At the same time, farmers' IL ability is an important embodiment of farmers' integration into the digital countryside, which can give a strong boost to the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Therefore, it is of great practical significance for the rural revitalization strategy in the new era to make full use of multiple social subjects and improve farmers' IL. [Method/Process] This paper reviews the concept and definition of IL, and analyzes the research on farmers' IL in recent years. The results show that most of the current research on the cultivation of farmers' IL focuses on a specific topic and lacks holistic research. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically understand the cultivation process of farmers' IL, and guide the cultivation behavior of IL by the all-round cultivation concept. [Results/Conclusions] At present, although the local governments have initially built an IL training model of the new era, with schools and social organizations as participants in the model, farmers still lack information knowledge, information awareness, and IL skills. Several proposals are put forward here to address the above issue. First of all,it is necessary to strengthen the construction of IL education system and improve farmers' information knowledge. The government should give full play to the local government agencies in resource integration, schools and scientific research institutions in professional advantages, and social organizations in providing information services, so as to provide farmers with more systematic IL training. Second, efforts should be made to jointly build IL education space to raise farmers' information awareness: the government should build farmers' IL training base, the schools should promote the transformation of the education model, and social organizations continue to carry out IL training project. The three parties join hands to build a three-dimensional integrated IL education space of "material space, spiritual space and social space", and a new way of the cultivating farmers' information awareness. Finally, IL teachers should be trained to improve farmers' information literacy. The government will attract and retain information talent in rural areas through positive talent polices. Schools will play an educational role in developing farmers' information literacy skills.

[Purpose/Significance] Public emergencies frequently trigger online public opinion, exacerbating public panic and threatening social stability. The intrinsic linkage between public emergencies and online discourse amplifies the dissemination of public emotions, attitudes, and perspectives across online platforms, creating a feedback loop that influences event dynamics. Investigating the generation mechanism of public opinion on hot topics in such contexts provides critical theoretical foundations for mitigating cyber discourse risks, while enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of governmental mangement over online public opinion. [Method/Process] From an information ecology perspective, this study employs fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to examine the online public opinion heat of 50 public emergencies between 2020 and 2022. We analyze eight conditional variables across four dimensions - information, information person, information technology, and information environment - including peak propagation speed, peak event popularity, netizen attention, opinion leaders' communication power, important media participation, central media coverage, the proportion of the overall public opinion field, and event duration. Single-factor necessity detection and configuration analysis were performed, and robustness was tested by adjusting calibration points and consistency thresholds. Finally, based on empirical findings, we interpreted case studies and proposed a mechanism for the generation of online public opinion heat in public emergencies. [Results/Conclusions] The results reveal that information and information people are the primary drivers and key causes of hot public opinion. Although information environment and information technology are not necessary conditions, they still contribute to the process. In public emergencies, multiple factors jointly influence online public opinion, and no single factor alone determines its intensity. Rather, the complementarity of multiple factors can, to some extent, substitute for seemingly necessary conditions. The key findings reveal that the event's peak plays a dominant role in driving high online public opinion intensity, and directly triggers its rapid outbreak, while the absence of major media participation and short event duration - core conditions for non-hot events - significantly reduce public engagement due to limited coverage and transient attention. Additionally, opinion leaders' communication power exhibits a strong positive correlation with public opinion on hot topics, as their amplified expressions attract more attention from netizens and further amplify the momentum of the discourse. These findings will provide valuable insights for effectively managing and controlling online public opinion during emergencies. Future research should examine the impact of emotional shifts, such as positive, negative, and neutral emotions, on the virality of online public opinion during emergencies, while also exploring the underlying mechanisms of such emotional shifts. Additionally, future studies should differentiate between policy stages in emergency development and examine how policy interventions shape the dynamics of public opinion. Finally, network analysis techniques (e.g., forwarding relationship networks, key evolutionary network structures) should be employed to uncover the mechanisms that drive public opinion heat in emergency-related discourse.
