Abstract： [Purpose/significance] The paper aims to explore the effect mechanism of different reading media on reading performace, considering the different influence of electronic reading and paper reading.[Method/process] The paper conducted an experiment by setting up three reading conditions:paper book with high background information level (P-book), iReader with medium background information level and Word with low background information level.[Result/conclusion] The results showed that readers who used P-book had significantly better performance in transfer test, cognitive load, reading speed and visual fatigue than those who used Word; and they also had significantly better performance in transfer test than those who used iReader. Readers who used iReader had better performance in transfer test, cognitive load, reading speed and visual fatigue than those who used Word, but unfortunately only the difference in reading speed and cognitive load were significant. It is concluded that the reading performance is influenced by both the reading media and the background information in the reading environment. Background cues in paper-based reading environment can relieve visual fatigue, reduce cognitive load and improve reading speed; however, reading comprehension is more likely to be affected by reading media. Paper book is more useful for the knowledge comprehension.

Abstract： [Purpose/significance] The paper explored the influence and mechanism of work resources on the engagement of university librarians, to provide reference for the implementation of human resource management in university libraries and the promotion of the engagement of librarians.[Method/process] 358 librarians in Hunan university libraries were selected as the research objects. The research investigated the predictive role of work resources on librarians' engagement as well as the mediating role of psychological capital and organizational commitment.[Result/conclusion] The results indicated that there were significant group differences in organizational commitment on different genders. The scores of male were significantly higher than female, and there was no significant difference in other scores among librarians of different genders. There was no significant difference in the scores of each scale among different marriage, age, educational background, position and professional title. The correlation coefficient of all variables has reached a statistically significant level. Work resources have significant direct impact on librarians' engagement.The relationship between work resources and work engagement is partially mediated by psychological capital and organizational commitment. Enriching the working resources of university librarians, enhancing their sense of organizational support, and enhancing their psychological capital and organizational commitment are the effective ways to promote the professional engagement of university librarians.
