is also necessary to reveal the transformation relationships among the different types of regulating
behavior of mobile phone literacy imbalance and its explanatory power in new technology trends.
The findings have direct reference to how users can better use the mobile Internet and how to
provide high-quality literacy education services for information professionals in the future. On the
one hand, the penetration of smart phones in daily life and work puts forward higher requirements
on users’ mobile phone literacy. Only by continuously improving their strategic literacy can
users get the opportunity to improve digital well-being. On the other hand, smart phones have
become the most important terminal equipment to get access to the Internet, which means that
the information profession, including librarians should pay the same attention to the structure of
mobile phone literacy and its changing laws as what they do to traditional information literacy and
digital literacy brought by computers and the Internet. They should incorporate specific contexts
and mobile phone literacy into the information literacy curriculum, do better jobs of assisting smart
phone use by various disadvantaged groups, and provide strong social support and diversified
digital literacy education services for an equal information society.
This paper quantitatively compares the differences of three sorts of mobile phone literacy
in daily life and work contexts, enriches the connotation of mobile phone literacy, extends the
transformation of daily life context and work task context to all new contexts generated by new
needs, and obtains the types of imbalance regulating behaviors and its influencing factors. It is
the first time to propose what kind of behavior users should take to adapt to different information
needs and contexts, which comprehensively reveals the importance of mobile phone literacy in
literacy education.

Digital humanity is an emerging interdisciplinary research field that integrates advanced
information and communication technologies (ICTs) into traditional humanities research. As the
infrastructure of digital humanities, ICT-enabled digital platforms play vital roles in facilitating
the resource preservation, data curation, information integration, and knowledge management of
digital artifacts, which may further lead to the development of digital humanities research and
build an interconnected digital ecosystem. In other words, the theory development and practical
application of digital humanities rely on the platform design and implementation, which may in
turn call for more attention to the data infrastructure and digital strategies. To date, the existing
platforms on digital humanities are to some extent, limited by the bottlenecks of ICTs. Meanwhile,
