“…These are somewhat similar as they depend on technology to enhance services that allow users to access information without time and space constraints. For example, the ubiquitous library (Bae et al, 2007;Kaske, 2004) and the mobile library (Huang and Wang, 2011) both use technical means to provide services unconstrained by time or space. The smart library has a similar service philosophy.…”

“…The designing of a mobile library is highly reliant on a user's mobile platforms, and services are rooted in user demand. It reflects the user-oriented spirit in the library designing and service process (Huang and Wang, 2011); (Wei and Yang, 2017) animation and other multimedia information. Huang (2005) described it as a digital information system.…”

Purpose This paper aims to clearly conceptualize the idea of the smart library and propose a holistic approach to building smart libraries, in accordance with recent practices and state-of-the-art technologies. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on an extensive review of existing literature and practice about library construction, this paper distinguishes between similar types of smart library and divides the concepts associated with smart library building into three dimensions: technology, service and human. Findings Traditional libraries can transform to smart libraries by strategic design and implementation of advanced technologies, such as cloud computing, data mining and artificial intelligence, but they also need to consider service building, user cultivation and librarian training. Originality/value Aligning to the three main dimensions of smart libraries (technology, service and human), this study clarifies the concept of the smart library and offers strategic principles: integration of infrastructures, construction of service and human learning. It provides guidelines and directions for public and academic libraries committed to becoming smart libraries.

“…E-books can be divided into 3 types [5], including: 1) born digital: published in a non-print form or other forms; 2) new edition: based on paper contents, the materials are published in electronic form after supplement, modification or deletion; 3) reproduction: the published paper contents are reproduced through mechanization and converted into a new edition, and the original images remain unchanged, such as PDF file. Huang and Wang (2011) proposed that e-book contents published in iPad can be divided into 3 types [6]: 1) general e-books: the books contents are displayed by words, followed by images; the application programs provide basic reading functions, such as zoom new book marks, and links; 2) multimedia e-books: the contents include beautiful advertising and content menu links to facilitate reading, and the editorial design based on images is designed to combine with multimedia elements, such as video, music and animation; 3) game e-books: the illustrated game e-books have various screen sensors and multi-contact screen functions, creating interesting interactive environment.…”

Mobile e-books provide interface visualization design to help users quickly learn the interface operation. This study discussed how interactive interface design patterns effectively provide visual guidance through visualization to facilitate operation of users, so as to increase satisfaction of users. First, this study collected 5 interactive patterns after review of the literature and used them as experimental basis. The focus group method was used to get insight into effect of visualization on interactive interface design of mobile e-books. The interview was analyzed, and the obtained results were materialized into a center concept through Mind Map. The results of this study are as follows: 1) create visual atmosphere for action pattern; 2) select views or create scenario images for tour pattern; 3) create decisive thumbnail menus for slideshow pattern; 4) provide obvious page indicator for carousel pattern; 5) provide suitable direction guidance for scroll pattern.

The mobile devices market has grown substantially, along with significant developments in mobile interactive technologies. Devices such as tablets, smartphones and others have increasingly become more popular and helped improve the way people interact and exchange information. The aim of this paper is to perform a systematic mapping of the literature regarding the use of heuristic evaluation methods applied on mobile applications. The aims of this research were twofold: analysing what are the most used sets of usability heuristics on usability evaluations of mobile devices, providing a common base to improve mobile design and usability evaluation; analysing details of how usability inspections of mobile applications have been conducted. The results show that different heuristics have been reported in research papers to evaluate usability of mobile devices. The study identified a total of 9 different heuristics sets means of the literature mapping. The traditional set of heuristics proposed by Nielsen and Molich was still the most used set of heuristics in heuristic usability evaluations of mobile devices, but the proposal of new specific heuristics for mobile interfaces has grown substantially.
