reading literature, become urgent problems to be solved in the library. 5G has become a hot new
technology and is expected to upgrade the library service. This research has certain theoretical
significance and practical reference value. At present, there are three problems to be solved in
library service. The first is speed. Nowadays, e-library services, especially multimedia services,
are seriously stuck, and their network speed has not kept up with the needs of readers. Secondly,
the popularity of mobile phones makes readers look forward higher to personal services. The
third is personalized services. At present, almost all libraries are standardized “one to many”
services, and their one-to-one personalized services are not strong. For this reason, the authors put
forward a library service mode of “personalized around and close to the body” under 5G and fog
computing, which requires using 5G network, fog computing and personalized recommendation
technology to provide readers with super high speed and “around and close to the body”
personalized information push service, so that readers can enjoy the service, literature delivered
to readers’ mobile phones, according to their personal preferences at any time and any place, even
in high-speed mobile. This mode is actually a combination of “5G network + fog computing +
personalized recommendation” and library services. 5G has the characteristics of ultra-high speed,
large connection, ultra-high reliability, ultra-low time delay, etc. The combination of 5G network
edge computing and fog computing technology will make the cloud computing service (“Literature
Cloud”) of the electronic library become a fog computing environment (“Literature Fog”) closer
to the reader end. The combination of the granulation method of library documents and the
personalized recommendation technology is expected to make the service of the library become a
“personalized” service. From the perspective of existing technology and application conditions, the
service mode of “personalized surrounding and close fitting” library under 5G and fog computing
is just a concept and assumption. It is a forward-looking and academic exploration of the library
service mode, and what the author puts forward is just a technical framework. If this concept is
implemented in every library, it needs to be designed in detail according to the specific situation.

An empirical study on the influence of public library activities on arrival
rate: Based on the evidence from South Korea

HE Shuqing & YE Bin〇

The arrival rate is a significant index to measure the social benefits of public libraries. In practice,
carrying out library events is a common way to enhance attractiveness. Does the arrival rate
actually rise because of the library events? If so, what type of events increases the arrival rate?
These questions should be answered by empirical research. In the last decade, the public library
arrival rate in South Korea has been in the forefront of the world and outranks both the United
