Results show marked differences: dissertations in law and education sciences achieved significantly higher visibility per manuscript, whereas those in computer science, physics, and biology attracted comparatively fewer readers.

To interpret these findings, we apply Engeström's activity theory, modeling the contradictions doctoral graduates face between open dissemination and publishers' embargo or copyright constraints.

Three interrelated themes emerged that demonstrate the varied ways in which students need to learn to use information: (1) Leveraging interdisciplinary lenses, where students integrate diverse perspectives to interpret environmental information; (2) Acculturating to field research practices, where students gain practical research and data skills through experiential learning; and (3) Experiencing immersive information, where students absorb and share information about their learning environment through informal engagement with the place and others in the learning community. These findings expose opportunities for librarians to reframe their roles as embedded collaborators, who can deepen and expand the ways in which students become aware of and capable of using information, in place-based contexts.

By combining quantitative statistics (structured data such as activity name, sponsor, audience characteristics, and organizational form) with qualitative analysis (text mining of lecture training content), the current status of AI literacy lecture training in their university libraries is systematically examined. The study found that China’s “Double First-Class” university libraries have the following prominent problems in AI literacy lecture training: the degree of attention and implementation strength are different, the participation of librarians is low, lecture training mainly relies on teachers outside the library, the lecture training content is unbalanced, there is a lack of AI cognition and AI ethics, AI lecture training lacks systematicness, and AI skills education is out of touch with practical applications. Based on an international comparative perspective, the paper proposes eight optimization strategies: Strengthen the emphasis and implementation of AI literacy lecture training, provide continuous AI literacy lecture training for librarians and strengthen the construction of AI-Literate librarians, improve AI lecture training content and strengthen AI cognition and AI ethics education, establishing the AI workshop series: achieving systematic and comprehensive craining, increase AI practice components, holding geneAI research cafe, and cooperate with multiple institutions to organize AI lecture training, in order to provide practical reference for the innovative development of AI literacy education system in university libraries around the world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103111"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144711240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is important in transnational settings, where students arrive with different expectations of academic practice. This study applies the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a theoretical lens to analyse first-year undergraduate students' intended information-seeking actions at a British university branch campus in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Data was collected from 151 first-year undergraduate students from nine disciplines who described how they intended to find, use, and manage information for their assignments. Well-established frameworks are used alongside the TPB constructs of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control to investigate students' research approaches. Data underwent a reflexive process, revealing patterns in how students navigate between the expectations of a Western academic institution and their existing research practices. Findings suggest that students demonstrating high perceived behavioural control often align strongly with institutional norms, particularly in evaluating sources and research strategies. However, many students display a hybrid approach, combining pre-university habits with newly acquired academic practices. The study contributes to understanding how students develop research intentions and behaviours in their early university experience, offering insights for targeted information literacy support.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103096"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144262221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, this study introduces a system dynamics approach to construct a dynamic evaluation model for smart knowledge service quality in academic libraries. The proposed model comprises three interrelated dimensions—service support, service content, and service effect—each represented by a set of quantifiable indicators. Causal loop diagrams and stock-flow models are employed to characterize the interactions and feedback mechanisms among these indicators. The results demonstrate that the model effectively captures the evolution process of service quality and provides a scientific basis and practical guidance for resource allocation, service optimization, and the advancement of smartification in academic libraries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Librarianship","volume":"51 5","pages":"Article 103128"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
