Dear Readers, To further provide precise and convenient book search services and enhance reader service experience, following construction and optimization, the library will officially launch the trial operation of its book location navigation service on December 22nd. The book location and navigation service are based on AI intelligent visual recognition technology, which collects real-time bookshelf information and accurately locates book positions, providing readers with a brand-new book search experience. You can input relevant information such as the title and author, select the book you wish to borrow, and the system will instantly generate an optimal route to guide you to quickly locate the book on the shelf, which will significantly improve book-finding efficiency.
