According those findings, this paper recommend that, (I) continuing the construction of digital libraries, especially the organization of digital resources on mobile platform; (II) modular organization of "space, resources, and intelligence", change the image of academic library as self-study room; (3) offering variable information literacy courses and aiding low- socioeconomic statue students.
