Abstract: [Purpose/significance] This paper explores the librarians' cognition of academic libraries' organizational climate and the influence factors of organizational climate, which can provide reference for constructing Chinese localized organizational climate assessment of libraries. [Method/process] Based on the questionnaire survey of librarians and the literature research, the article explores how the influence factors effect on libraries' organizational climate. On this basis, the influence factors system of libraries' organizational climate is formed. [Result/conclusion] The influence factors of libraries' organizational climate mainly include the internal environment of libraries, the social external environment, the nature of the library and the librarians' values and behavior. The result especially shows that Chinese traditional culture such as interpersonal harmony, collectivism, senses of hierarchy and the doctrine of the mean have positive or negative impacts on librarians. Besides, the paper shows that the importance of libraries' organizational climate construction has not been widely recognized, which should be strengthened.

Abstract: [Purpose/significance] In order to solve the problem of the lack of efficient, accurate and practical statistic method, tools and empirical research for the use of electronic resources in university libraries, this paper explores the methods of dynamic management and evaluation of the collection resources by using the ERS electronic resources utilization performance analysis platform to manage and evaluate the practice of the foreign electronic periodicals in Shanghai University of Finance and Economics library. It provides a reference for university libraries to collect and manage the resource utilization and assessment data. [Method/process] This paper mainly discusses the basic function and workflow of the electronic resource management and analysis system based on server-side COUNTER report data, and takes the library of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics using ERS to carry on resource management, citation analysis, core resources and subject resources analysis and database evaluation of the foreign electronic periodicals. [Result/conclusion] Based on the statistical analysis practice of the foreign electronic periodicals of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, this paper holds that it is feasible and practical to use the electronic resource management and analysis platform based on COUNTER report data to manage and evaluate the electronic resource, and the electronic resource management and analysis platform can provide decision support for the library's resource procurement, and a deep resource disclosure for the subject service.

Abstract: [Purpose/significance] The challenge of teaching information literacy in the form of credited course is how to motivate and keep students' interest of learning, pass on the course content and skills, and transfer the learning outcomes to the learning process of other subjects in a relatively longer duration of learning. This paper discusses the roles and limitations of guided inquiry to meet this challenge.[Method/process] Guided inquiry, scaffolding and team-based learning are the key concepts for designing an information literacy course based on guided inquiry. This paper introduces the process of using guided inquiry to design and implement a credited information literacy course for undergraduates by using a case study.[Result/conclusion] Designing information literacy credited course by using guided inquiry provides opportunities to observe students closely and cultivates the students' collaborative learning ability; it needs teachers to design scaffolds, to observe and diagnose students' learning performance, and to improve the instructional design iteratively; however, it also has the limitations such as the absence of subject perspectives of teachers and difficulties in evaluating the efficiency of knowledge transfer.
