Exploration of the Meta-space and Service Ecosystem Construction of University Libraries under the Boundaryless and Comprehensive Service Paradigm—Taking the Main Library of Zhejiang University as a Case Study
The article focuses on space and spatial resources,primarily exploring the theoretical issues and practical pathways related to spatial resources in the construction and future development of university libraries.It begins by examining the relationship between space reconfiguration,spatial services,and spatial resources,systematically reviewing the current state of research and existing problems in library spatial resources and services,and introducing a novel research perspective that returns to the essence.Secondly,from the perspective of new spatial design concepts,the article points out that the third-generation library has entered a critical development stage of transitioning from a"book-focused"to a"people-focused"approach,facing the dual historical missions and development opportunities of reconstructing resource and service systems.Therefore,university libraries urgently need innovative theories to guide the direction of spatial development and practical pathways.To better understand and appreciate the diversity,complexity,and growth of space,the article re-examines the characteristics of space based on the fundamental attributes of libraries and creatively draws on the essence of metadata theory in library resource management,proposing new concepts such as meta-space,spatial communities,and boundless and comprehensive services,and detailing their intrinsic connections with spatial resources,space services,and service ecosystems.Furthermore,the article conducts an in-depth analysis of the paradigm construction of boundless and comprehensive services based on the practical experience of Zhejiang University's Main Library from four dimensions:the transformation of service paradigms towards sustainable development,the construction of spatial communities oriented towards user needs,the construction of smart platforms oriented towards service ecosystems,and the practical pathways of boundless and comprehensive services.It emphasizes that these strategic changes are not only about the renewal of core business and the transformation of service paradigms but also the innovation of thought concepts,leading to the reshaping of library culture.After deep contemplation from theory to practice and then from practice back to theory,the author cautiously proposes new concepts of meta-space and spatial communities,as well as a new service paradigm of boundless and comprehensive services,aiming to build a theoretical framework and practical guide for the planning,organization,and management of university library space and spatial resources that is both forward-looking and operable.As the concepts of meta-space,spatial communities,boundless and comprehensive services are proposed for the first time,the article intends to pave the way for more academic discussions and practical explorations,looking forward to jointly promoting the prosperous development of library space theory.
