This paper provides an in-depth study and analysis of the relevance of adopting the idea of 5G for the optimal configuration of university library layout to the development of students’ academic literacy. It also analyzes the benefits of 5G on the digital governance of libraries together with the convenience that the application of 5G can provide to smart libraries and helps to realize the research on the service innovation model of smart libraries under 5G. The survey mainly focuses on four indicators: the development of physical space services in university libraries; facilities and equipment for physical space services; the content and form of physical space services; and it presents the current problems of physical space services, including the overall convergence of physical space services in university libraries. When different libraries are co-constructed and shared, there will be incompatibility problems, and if the library is required to develop its own management system, it will waste resources. The library space layout is arranged by highlighting the elements of the cognitive map to improve the lending efficiency; using a more continuous and transparent interface in terms of color and material to increase the experience of spaciousness; using more wood elements and green to add a natural atmosphere to achieve the purpose of relaxing the readers’ heart; and finally increasing the light source in the reading area to complement the illumination in the shaping of the light environment. In terms of spatial functions, more attention is paid to the design of public interaction and leisure spaces so that readers can rejuvenate themselves and devote themselves to the next learning tasks. The interior design is considered in terms of the relationship between arousal theory and task performance, and a moderately complex interface is designed to improve readers’ efficiency in the space. Finally, the paper concludes with a summary of what has not been thoroughly researched and an outlook on the future of university library interior design.

The innovation of IT has created new patterns in library service but also new challenges. The modification and improvement of the existing approaches for traditional paper based resource management is needed. In this paper, we analyzed the library services in current Chinese universities and pointed out some problems in those services. We proposed several customer-oriented resource purchase and allocation strategies in order to improve the user satisfactory and the efficiency of the resource usage. In the proposed approaches, the user behavior information such as the number of resources, the time period the user has utilized, and the library location are considered in resource purchase and allocation decision along with the resource lending information. Possible solutions using new IT and data mining technologies for resource management are also proposed.
