“…The concept is also applicable to enhance the accuracy of accessing and retrieving physical resources from storage. 56 With the deployment of mobile applications with diversified features for libraries and widespread use of mobile devices, request notification service can immediately inform users when their requests have been filled. 57 Further monitoring of the progress of storage requests can also be implemented to enable students to better manage their time for academic purposes.…”

Despite the popularity of mobile and digital technologies, physical collections still have high user demand in academic libraries and grow continuously. With renovation projects providing more studying and collaboration space, efforts to relocate materials to storage facilities are necessary for major libraries. With the change in student information needs and preferences, it is essential to reinvestigate their behavior and preferences for the use of physical resources and remote storage items. An online survey was conducted in a major international comprehensive university in Hong Kong, China, to explore these questions. Statistical tests were also performed to compare the difference between undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as those with versus those without experience requesting items from storage. Undergraduate and postgraduate respondents have some statistically different behaviors in their information-seeking and usage preferences for physical resources, both on library shelves and in remote storage. Although respondents generally prefer resources in electronic formats, physical materials still play a vital role in their usage for academic purposes. Though accessibility was their main concern, they would use storage items, especially when those were the only materials available. Respondents suggested some improvements, such as reducing the retrieval time, enriching online catalog information, providing a reading room at remote storage, and restoring items with high usage statistics to open shelves. Scant current studies focus on user preferences and needs for remote library storage or libraries in East Asia. Also, reexamining the issue in the Internet environment of the globalized knowledge economy is necessary due to changes in students' information requirements. This research would be useful to establish library collection management and storage policies.

By examining loan data from public libraries in South Korea, we seek to understand patterns in user borrowing behaviors and explore thematic connections among borrowed books. The subject headings of 55.5 million book sets borrowed by individual users on the same day were analyzed using ITEM2VEC. We have identified 40 subject heading communities through cosine similarity of each subject vector, and we have labeled each community using a large language model. Two prominent communities were identified: Global Modern Literature and Novels and Children's Literature, Fairy Tales, and Folklore. The latter community was associated with a diverse array of subjects, indicating an expansion in children's reading preferences. The study results will be useful for improving collection development and the relevance of book recommendations, as well as for incorporating user information behavior into traditional library material classification schemes.
