Abstract: Academic social network is an important platform for scientific research information resources,but few studies have paid attention to the problems revealed and utilized by university libraries. This study investigated the status of usage of 4 typical academic social network services(ASNS)by 137"Double First-Class"university libraries in China. The results show that only 8 university libraries have revealed the single ASNS,means that it has not attracted extensive attention.Based on this,this paper proposes that university libraries in China should deeply understand the importance of academic social networks in the era of big data,strengthen cooperation with scientific research management departments to formulate development policies of academic social networks,integrate academic social networks with existing resources,and make deep use of academic social networks for scientific research services.

Key words: academic library,academic social network sites,scientific big data
