To better meet the needs of students and faculty for bestselling and subject-related books, and to expand library collections, Library and Information Center, together with Zhejiang Xinhua Collection Company，held an Chinese Book Fair on Campus from the World Reading Day（April 23rd），based on the Yunyue Reading Platform.
About 3,000 Chinese books were displayed, which are either Douban bestselling or subject-related books.
The book fair was welcomed by all teachers and students, about 175 teachers and students recommended around 300 books. Compared with other book fair, it is somewhat different in two aspects:
On the one hand, it is very convenient for readers to recommend and to borrow books by simply scanning their personal information QR code based on the Yueyue Reading Platform.
On the other hand, the lottery and message board make the whole process more interesting. Before the message board, some of them sign their names, feel very happy when get a big prize, others express their love of library, or choose a sentence from the 4th lines in 23rd page of the borrowed books and write it in the message board.
It is not merely a book fair to know readers’ needs, but also a promotion of library service. Throughout the platform, readers can recommend and borrow books they want, while library can know their need better to build the reader-oriented library collection.
