We designed five series of activities, including industrial information release, project financing and roadshows, entrepreneurial sharing, entrepreneurial coaching sessions, and entrepreneurial salons. Based on the implementation of these activities, we designed new NSLC library services for S&T; innovation and entrepreneurship.Findings: Since the construction of the platform, these five series of activities have attracted more than 80 business projects, 90 investors, and 30 researchers. Furthermore, more than 20 media representatives and nearly 300 entrepreneurs have participated in the activities that the NSLC has organized in the past two years. Through these activities, we have defined an S&T; innovation and entrepreneurship knowledge service model for the NSLC.Research limitations: The service practice of the NSLC is still in the demonstration phase. Due to staffing limitations of our service teams, the expansion of our service activities has been greatly restricted.Practical implications: The innovation and entrepreneurship information services of the NSLC provide a lot of material for transformation of library services for domestic and foreign special libraries.Originality/value: It is useful to transform library and business services by embedding them into ways in which we serve innovation and entrepreneurial activities. This opens up a new field of library knowledge services in China.展开更多

The sudden rise of the "Chinese version of Maker Movement"(the Movement) is closely related to the national strategy of "widespread entrepreneurship and innovation". Through festivalmaking activities and the localization of makerspaces, China has redefined the international maker culture. The impact of the Movement in China has extended extensively and profoundly to the fields of economy, education and culture. In the economic field, the Movement has promoted the popularization of the means of production, changed the relations of production, and created the new economic engine through innovations in economic systems. In the field of education, it has fostered innovative talents through the promotion of deeper learning and educational fairness. In terms of culture, it has enriched the spirit of culture, improved cultural patterns, and innovated cultural concepts. In the coming years, the Movement in China is likely to power the following trends: First, it will develop rapidly as a new economic model and business form;second, it will be more popular in forms of popularization and entertainment;third, the Movement will spread from cities to villages;fourth, even though the Movement may be temporarily halted due to potential failures to break through constraints such as technology, markets, policies, and funds, the Movement in China will generally present a spiraling upward trend.展开更多
