Abstract

Exhibitions are an integral part of academic library services, contributing significantly to the library's educational and cultural functions. By integrating exhibitions into their services, academic libraries increase the utilization and appreciation of the collections, promote cultural and intellectual communication, and foster students' lifelong learning and diverse competencies, thus enhancing the role as a center for learning, culture, and community engagement. However, current research and services indicated issues such as an overemphasis on international exhibition studies over in-depth exploration of domestic exhibition services, a focus on the subject of exhibition over the demands of library users, an inclination towards the cultural instruction function of exhibitions over the development of their diversified functions, and a preference for experiences and practices over systematic planning and design. Investigating the problem of systematic construction of academic library exhibition services from the perspective of student demands can effectively address these deficiencies, bringing academic and practical value. With a questionnaire survey, data were collected on university students' demands for library exhibition services from various colleges and grades at an applied undergraduate university in Guangdong Province. The questionnaire design covered six aspects of student demands: exhibition purposes, theme preferences, information acquisition channels, interaction needs, supporting services, and expectations for collaborating units. The survey results indicated that students primarily visit exhibitions to appreciate art, enjoy leisure activities, and acquire knowledge. Students have a wide range of theme preferences, including art creation exhibitions, film exhibitions, and historical and cultural exhibitions. Social media platforms like WeChat and Weibo are the most convenient channels for students to obtain exhibition information. Students prefer to interact with exhibitions through social media and short video platforms. They expect the library to provide supporting services such as on-site electronic interactive displays, on-site explanation or consultation services, and online virtual exhibitions. Additionally, students expect the library to collaborate with various units, including subordinate colleges, administrative departments, student organizations and external institutions. Finally, based on the survey results, strategies for the systematic construction of academic library exhibition services are proposed: reshaping the exhibition value system, reconstructing the systematic design of exhibitions which includes the diversification of exhibition categories, the design of exhibition scale and frequency and the design of the exhibition implementation process, optimizing the exhibition interaction mechanism by creating impressive online exhibitions, providing immersive interactive experiences, establishing effective feedback and evaluation mechanisms, and promoting the implementation of exhibition policies to support the high-quality, connotative, and sustainable development of the exhibition system.
