Author(s): Bin Tu; Si Chen


Abstract:
Public digital libraries are an important part of the public cultural service system, and improving the adaptability of their supply to public demand can help promote the quality and efficiency of public digital cultural services. This study took residents of Province G of China as the target population, constructed evaluation indicators of public digital library service accessibility, and analyzed its influencing factors from the perspective of "individual-family-community". The study found that the match between supply and demand of public digital libraries in Province G needed to be improved, and there was a gap between the service level and the public's expectation, so the overall accessibility rating was average. Influencing factors included personal information retrieval skills, family members' participation in cultural activities, community network conditions and publicity efforts. Based on this, this study proposed optimization suggestions on how to improve the awareness and accessibility of public digital library services.
