Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] The technical patent in the field of library is an important representation of the technical development of library. It is used as the unit of measurement to form one of the important dimensions to observe the overall development and reform of library. By combing the evolution of patents in the field of library, we can better explore and grasp the law of library development.[Method/Process] This paper analyzed the time, patentee, subject distribution and change law of patents in the field of library, and compared them with the multiple dimensions of library development policies and library research literatures.[Result/Conclusion] Based on the analysis of library related patents, it is found that the related technologies are mainly oriented to "physical books" and "convenient librarians' daily application". In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the "user" scenario, and the artificial intelligence technology has also increased rapidly in recent years. In the multi-dimensional comparison of library development, themes in related fields at the levels of technology, research and policy show asynchrony.
