An Study Of The System Based On The Internet Of Things For Books Recommended

Driven by IT innovation and library materials search methods, services of libraries have beenchanging and improving. The main purpose of this thesis is to propose an innovative service for universitylibraries by combining general services of library networks to apply Internet of Things (IoT) to build abook-recommended system. Readers can use devices to find books which fit their preferences through IoTbook-recommended service.In-depth interviews with information commissioners of university libraries are held, and the interviewresults are made as pre-testing questionnaire to design the external variables which may affect libraryreaders using this innovative service. Questionnaire surveys for the library users are conducted to analyzethe user’s willingness to use this IoT book-recommended service. To verify the feasibility analysis of thisinnovative service in university libraries, an IoT book-recommended Demo system has been built.The interview results are summarized as five elements of consideration--the user habits, informationsecurity, organizational strategy, system technology, and external environmental factors. The survey resultsshow that users generally approve the operation and application of IoT book-recommended service,especially on its usefulness, and their attitude toward using the service turns positive. The results show thatthe operation of the IoT book-recommended Demo system is more convenient than the general onlinestores to provide personalized services. The results of this study can be seen as a reference for furtherresearch on the follow-up services of the system.
