Blood type as biological information is still considered a prophecy and pseudoscience that still needs to be proven. It is the easiest and cheapest among other genetic identification tools.This study aimed to map reading material selections based on blood type personality. This study was a quantitative approach through cross-sectional survey. Identification was obtained from data in identity cards and laboratory blood type tests. The study population was 100 UPI LIS students with 80 samples of young adults aged 18-22 through random sampling with stratification. The samples were: 9 respondents with AB blood type and 25 with A blood type. Respondents of O and B blood types each followed the selection of the expected sample was 20 people. Each homogeneous sample filled out a questionnaire on reading material selection aspects. Results showed that 55.6% of the AB blood type chose non-fiction books such as 'how-to' related to hobbies, and 52% of A blood type tended to select non-fiction books that support their tasks and work. Also, 81.8% of B blood type chose fiction books and adventure stories opening up fantasy horizons, and 80% of O blood type chose books that did not always have to be brought to the big screen/filmed; however, they were recommended and told. In conclusion, this blood type personality model can identify young adult clients' profiles to develop bibliotherapy service programs in different types of libraries and make it easier for librarians and bibliotherapists to recommend reading materials suitable for the benefit of preventive-curative bibliotherapy.

The study aimed to identify the components of bibliotherapy implementation in digital hospital libraries of Iran. The research method regarding purpose is applied and regarding methodology is survey. This showed the desired level of reliability was human resources, information resources, technology and technology infrastructure, services, copyright and financial resource. The most important basic requirements for the implementation of this plan in hospital digital libraries were as follows: Method of providing information resources: ‘Collection of various digital resources to launch bibliotherapy (audiovisual resources, audio, video, etc.)’; the most desirable people to provide information resources: ‘Librarians of digital libraries in consultation with physicians and consultants’; digital resource prioritisation: ‘Multimedia Resources’; services for users: ‘Providing digital information resources, suitable for any age group in the field of bibliotherapy’; legal barriers: ‘The unwillingness of authors and publishers to support free access and at the same time protect the copyright of digital resources in the field of bibliotherapy’; and economic barriers: ‘Impossibility to provide the necessary funding to provide bibliotherapy related services in hospital digital libraries’. Its conceptual and structural model, design and research results indicate a proper fit of the components. Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the components of bibliotherapy implementation in hospital digital libraries can be classified into six sections in terms of importance and effectiveness: technical and technological infrastructure, services, financial resources, information resources, copyright and human resources.
