title: The Bottleneck and Countermeasure of E Books Development in Chinese University Libraries
abstract: With the rapid development of computer technology, e books have emerged. Compared with traditional paper books, e books have the advantages of fast update, short publication cycle and rich content. The library quickly accepted this new thing and developed into the main force of the electronic book consumer market. However, the utilization ratio of electronic books does not match with the money invested in each year, and readers always feel the lack of e books. This paper discusses the bottleneck and countermeasures of the development and application of electronic books in Chinese university libraries, and hopes to make a contribution to the development of electronic books. 1. The development of e books With the rapid development of network transmission technology and digital storage technology, electronic books have emerged. In the 1940s, the concept of e books first appeared in a science fiction novel. In the novel, it describes a book that can be read on an imaginary electronic device. Until 1995, the US launched the SoftBook, a pocket sized device that can read and store text. Then NuvoMedia launched Rocket book, marking the birth of a truly electronic book  Electronic books in China started late, but started high and developed rapidly. In 1999, Wuhan university press produced WDBOOK, an electronic book editing and bibliographic system. The system can be used for electronic book production as well as reading tools, and become a pioneer in domestic electronic books. In 2001, China's state council approved the project of the second phase of the national library project and digital library infrastructure project, with an investment of 11.2 billion yuan, which promoted the development of electronic books in China. On July 11, 2017, the annual report of the 2016 2017 Chinese digital publishing industries was released at the 7th China digital publishing expo. In the past few years, e books have continued to grow at a rapid pace, with e books earning up to 5.2 billion yuan, compared with just 1.65 billion yuan in 2011, according to the report. Compared with traditional books, electronic books have many advantages [2] such as short publishing cycle, quick update, various forms, rich contents, convenient retrieval and environmental protection, etc. As a result, the library quickly accepted the new invention of electronic books [4][5] For more than ten years, the library has been in the main position of the electronic book consumer market. Each powerful library is actively purchasing electronic books and expanding its collections so as to better serve the readers [6] However, the study shows that the utilization rate of electronic books is not satisfactory and does not match the appropriation of the investment per year. According to the survey of CNNIC every six months, the most dissatisfied Internet information service, the number one is always "lack of e books" How can our university libraries cope with the challenge of electronic books? How can electronic books better serve readers? How to improve the utilization of electronic books? In the library world, it has always been a hot research topic. This paper analyzes the problems encountered in the use of electronic books. It is expected that the research of this paper can contribute to the development of library e book resource construction in China's university libraries. 2018 International Conference on Computer, Civil Engineering and Management Science (ICCEMS 2018) Copyright (c) (2018) Francis Academic Press, UK 150 2. The bottleneck and countermeasure of electronic books utilization Although the number of electronic book resources is growing rapidly in China's university libraries, there are still the following bottlenecks: 2.1 There are higher requirements for library hardware and software resources. Electronic books have made higher demands on the hardware environment of the library. By digitizing the content of text, sound, image, video and other information, e books are made. Computer or handheld device terminal can realize the reading function. In general, readers will use the reading terminal to access the library information resource server through the communication network to realize the use of electronic books. For libraries, they need to invest a lot of money to buy servers, computers and other equipment, and to set up communication networks. Meanwhile, the introduction of electronic books also has higher requirements for library software environment. The most commonly used book management systems in Chinese libraries include ILAS (library automation integration system) LIBSYS (Huiwen book management system) and WXGJXT (literature management integration system) They were originally developed for the design of paper books, and also mainly served the printed paper books, and the functional modules were mainly focused on service interviews, cataloguing and circulation. Obviously, it is not suitable for the management of electronic books; the collection, weaving and flow of electronic books have their own characteristics and requirements. Therefore, in terms of software, the characteristics of electronic books are also needed to increase the corresponding management module or to re develop the book management system.  Electronic book technology standard is not unified. Today, the development of electronic books has made a qualitative leap. There are more than 20 formats including PDF, TXT, EXE, EPUB, MOBI, SEP, CAJ, DOC, CEB, UMD, CHM, JAR, PDG, PDB, BRM and other formats. These format types can be divided into two classes: fixed layout and reflow able text. Fixed layout is related to the printed version of the electronic book, and the structure of each page is fixed on the display screen. The reflow able text automatically adjusts a page of display content according to the display screen, in which the concept of the page almost disappears. The PDF as we know it is generally classified as a fixed format. And special formats such as TXT, HTML, and EPUB are often considered to be reflow able text. For the sake of economic benefit, most of the published e books are in their proprietary format. The software formats of major companies are incompatible and have not formed an executable industry standard or national standard. The diversity of formats can be a problem for libraries and readers alike. First of all, for libraries, a variety of formats can lead to a reliance on publishing houses, and if publishers stop supporting the browsing software, they will not be able to use the corresponding formats. For example, the e book in LIT format, whose browsing software is Microsoft Reader, has stopped the production of the browser software in 2012. A digital migration must be made to the saved LIT electronic books, or there is no guarantee of access to the e book. Second, for readers, the variety of formats limits access. Users need to download a dedicated browser to access the corresponding electronic books, which brings great inconvenience and trouble to users. For example, the Kindle does not support EPUB, a dedicated format for commonly used electronic books, and iBooks formats can only be used in iBooks and iBooks authors. Superstar's e books use PDG and PDZ, PDF variant formats, which can only be used in superstars' SsReader. Similarly, Apabi Reader, Shusheng book Reader, etc. If users have a need for multiple formats of e books, you need to install multiple browser software. The electronic book retrieval interface of each publisher also brings inconvenience to the use of electronic books, and readers need to go to different pages to retrieve them. For example, the library of South China University of Technology has provided digital library resources such as super star digital library, SpringerLink electronic book, CADAL digital library and founder electronic books. The reader must access a different search page for the electronic book, and the corresponding reading software must be installed. This hinders the use of electronic books to a large extent,

title: E Library using the Mobile OPAC
abstract: In the todays Communication world, mobile and its applications are the most emerging trends. Mobile applications are the exact replacements of web based applications. Based on this statistics we are planning to migrate web based application of college library to mobile application. In most of the college website we see applications like latest news, Attendance, Login and Registrations, EBooks, Forums, Results, Chat application, Web Mail, etc. Based on the same we would to do the same thing in a mobile application. The reason behind the work is that the mobile applications do not need any third party browsers, or they don't need any domain registration. So in order to take the advantages of all this limitations we are planning to develop the mobile applications. Now the main important modules that I want to implement on my mobile application is OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) for a library account. Using OPAC mechanism in mobile one can just access the library account of his/her from anywhere using his mobile device, So that they can check the availability of books in the library instead of going to library. They can even check the number of books that are taken in there account and its submission date, fine to be paid in case.

title: Mathematics Game e Library for Elementary School, Study Case: Mexico
abstract: One of the most relevant subjects for the intellectual formation of elementary school students is Mathematics where its importance goes back to ancient civilizations and which its importance is underestimated nowadays. This phenomenon occurs in Mexico, where 63.1% of the total population of elementary school students between the third and sixth grade have insufficient/elemental level of mathematics knowledge. This has resulted in the need to use a new mechanism to complement student's classroom learning. With the rapid growth of wireless and mobile technologies, the mobile learning has been gradually considered as a novel and effective form of learning due to it inherits all the advantages of e learning as well as breaks the limitations of learning time and space occurring in the traditional classroom teaching. This project proposes the use of a Mathematics Game e Library integrated by a set of games for mobile devices and a distribution/management tool. The games are developed for running on mobile devices and for cover the six competencies related with the mathematics learning approach established in Mexico. The distribution/management tool allows students to reach contents according to their needs; this is achieved through a core engine that infers, from an initial profile, the games that cover the user's knowledge gaps.

title: Future of E Libraries in Universities
abstract: However physically big libraries designed for the benefits of students attending universities are, the sources they include are more important. Considering the increasing capacities of universities, the problems that libraries encounter with are increasing day by day. Therefore, it is necessary for universities to adopt the concept of e library and to take electronic librarianship into consideration while restructuring the services provided by universities via their libraries. The purpose of this study was to determine the needs by revealing the interface features, differences, ease of use, comprehensibility for users and the advantages and disadvantages of the system in the processes of e library designing. In this respect, it is believed that students will be provided with better services with the increase in the quality of education at universities that will use e library.
