ABSTRACT

The rapid development of vocational undergraduate education has put forward new requirements for the management of its libraries. However, most libraries in vocational undergraduate institutions are currently facing structural predicaments such as an unbalanced resource structure, lagging service paradigms, and insufficient governance capabilities. This paper systematically analyzes the causes and manifestations of these predicaments from four dimensions: functional positioning, resource construction, service supply, and governance capabilities. It proposes the construction of a dual-track resource system of "academic literature + technical literature", an embedded discipline service model oriented towards the integration of industry and education scenarios, and a ubiquitous service extension strategy adapted to the rhythm of work-study alternation. On this basis, it further explores the construction paths of "dual-qualified librarians" capability reconstruction, a collaborative resource co-construction and sharing mechanism between schools and enterprises, and a dynamic evaluation system driven by user needs. The research aims to promote the functional leap of libraries in vocational undergraduate institutions from traditional literature managers to enablers of industry-education integration, providing theoretical and practical references for the transformation of libraries in similar institutions.
