Abstract:

Taking Hunan Library as an example, this paper conducts an investigation on the reader’s surfing behavior in the electronic reading-room, and finds that it exists such problems: full load, lack of awareness of readers, and low digital resource utilization rate. So, in order to promote public library's electronic reading-room in the direction of the green and healthy development, it puts forward some countermeasures to optimize the reader behavior by three aspects: perfecting regulations of the electronic reading room, strengthening the guidance on behavior and increasing readers’ information utilization about the training.

Key words: electronic reading-room, online behavior, information literacy
