    The year 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the term information literacy on a global scale. This study applies the BERTopic topic modeling method to identify 44 major research topics in global information literacy education over the past five decades. These topics are categorized into five thematic clusters: (1) pedagogical practices in information literacy education, (2) information literacy education driven by digital and intelligent technologies, (3) information literacy education targeting specific populations, (4) disciplinary applications of information literacy education, and (5) social and ethical issues in information literacy education. Five key topics are highlighted: librarian-faculty collaboration in higher education, nurses’ information literacy, health information literacy, teachers’ ICT competence and skill development, and information literacy in the context of artificial intelligence. By tracking topic-specific keywords, this study outlines five stages in the evolution of research: the conceptual dissemination stage, the technological impact stage, the connotation expansion stage, the convergence of multiple literacies stage, and the stage influenced by major societal events. Over the past 50 years, three prominent characteristics have shaped the development of global information literacy education research: (1) consistent focus on higher education and academic libraries across all stages; (2) a distinct phase-based impact of technology on information literacy education; and (3) the influence of changing educational environments on the content and form of information literacy instruction. Finally, six future directions are proposed for global research and practice in information literacy education: strengthening theoretical study of information literacy education, emphasizing the development of standards and assessment systems, diversifying the contexts for information use, enhancing the roles of both the academic library community and the information industry, fostering nationwide collaboration, and boosting China’s international influence in the field.

    Exploring the complex logical mechanisms behind AIGC-driven deepfake information generation has significant practical value for constructing a cognitive framework for understanding deepfake information and formulating targeted governance strategies in cyberspace. Drawing on the actor-network theory, this study constructs a theoretical framework for analyzing AIGC deepfake information generation, focusing on four aspects: problem presentation, allocation of benefits, mobilization, and exclusion of dissent. It further interprets the dynamic process of deepfake information generation in terms of network formation, alliance-building, and stabilization. The findings indicate that the continuous output of AIGC-generated deepfake information is likely to intensify adverse social effects, such as technological domination, truth decay, and moral dissolution. The production and dissemination of deepfake information involve AIGC technologies translating heterogeneous actors through interest-driven strategies, driving the deepfake interest network from formation to stabilization while engaging in a competitive dynamic with opposing organizations. Based on these findings, this study proposes targeted governance strategies for AIGC deepfake information across four dimensions: moral governance, rule of law, technological governance, and crowd-based governance.

    In the age of digital intelligence, conflicts in data ethics arising from the exploitation and utilization of data have become increasingly pronounced, challenging societal governance structures and value systems. Research on data ethics has thus emerged as a shared concern across multiple disciplines. This paper adopts a systematic review method to analyze relevant literature, synthesizing data ethics theories and summarizing the core issues in data ethics research. Current studies demonstrate a clear trend toward interdisciplinary integration, with data ethics governance practices embedded across diverse digital contexts. Both theoretical and practical dimensions exhibit characteristics of multidisciplinarity and multi-contextuality. However, there remains significant scope to enhance the systematic, comprehensive, collaborative, and normative aspects of data ethics research. Future studies could explore three key directions: effectively linking empirical and normative research on data ethics, advancing interdisciplinary integration in data ethics studies, and transitioning from context-specific applications to holistic research addressing broader data governance ecosystems.

    Abstract557)      PDF(pc) (3045KB)(2776)       Save
    Government-led data trading platforms are spearheading the robust development of China's data factor market. This study focuses on five bench mark platforms, employing the classical grounded theory framework to analyze their development patterns and challenges. The findings reveal that their developmental models can be summarized into five key elements: policy guidance, developmental strategies, standardization construction, platform services, and the cultivation of a digital business ecosystem. However, these platforms face several challenges, including a lack of core competitiveness, insufficient interconnectivity, pronounced data silos, and limited transaction scales. To address these challenges, platforms need to expand their market influence through differentiated positioning, joint construction of a standardized interconnected ecosystem, collaborative development of digital business alliances, and active expansion of bilateral user groups. Meanwhile, the National Data Administration should undertake overall planning for platform deplayment, strengthen integrated security supervision, and establish a robust safety framework to ensure the healthy development of the market.

    Breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence have led to the emergence of phenomenon-level large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, posing unprecedented challenges to traditional data utility assessment methods. In response, this study focuses on evaluating the utility of instruction-tuning data for LLMs by establishing a multi-dimensional assessment framework that integrates three key dimensions—complexity, usability, and diversity—and accordingly proposes a novel data utility evaluation function. Experiments on multiple publicly available instruction-tuning datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach provides a reasonable and effective means of measuring data quality, while the reasoning loss observed in LLMs fine-tuned on different datasets exhibits a high degree of consistency with the proposed evaluation metrics. This work is the first to directly employ reasoning loss as a measure of the quality of LLM instruction-tuning data, further introducing the three dimensions—complexity, usability, and diversity—to characterize “high-quality data”. By proposing new quantitative metrics, this study offers important theoretical and practical guidance for future improvements in the quality of instruction-tuning data for large language models and related research applications.

    In the era of digital economy, data has become a key factor of production. An in-depth discussion on the constituent elements and theoretical system of data factor circulation policy can provide theoretical support for the market-oriented practice path of data factor in China at the policy level. This study combines proceduralised grounded theory and large language model to propose an automated policy text coding method with both theoretical rigor and technical advancement. By designing the coding architecture of "text slicing-analog coding-iterative integration-manual inspection-text extraction" and combining the prompt techniques such as result self-confirmation, role prompting, and thought chain, the problem of large model illusion is effectively alleviated, and the analysis efficiency is significantly improved while the coding quality is guaranteed. This method is effectively applied to data factor circulation policy, and identifies six main categories and their correlation, such as data property rights and security governance, infrastructure and technical support, data element market and its ecological construction. Then, it reveals the shortcomings of the current market development from the perspective of supply and demand, and puts forward policy suggestions on coordinating data right confirmation and data opening, improving the depth and breadth of data application, and promoting the construction of data factor market in a hierarchical and subregional manner.

    Meng Gaohui Liu Chang
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (4): 24-41.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.04.024
    Abstract410)      PDF(pc) (1862KB)(161)       Save
    At the developmental turning point brought by the generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) wave, this paper provides a comprehensive review of research on conversational search behavior. It examines how the new paradigm transforms traditional perceptions of search behavior, summarizes the current state and limitations of this field, and offers valuable research directions for future studies. By reviewing the research progress in defining the overall characteristics of human-computer interaction, modeling the behavior categories and development processes of users and agents, and characterizing the behavior features and related factors of users or agents in conversational search, it argues that the main limitations of previous studies are that research objects seldom cover the cognitive and emotional activities that drive objective dialogue actions, research scenarios are mostly limited to simulated human-human dialogue scenarios, and research topics rarely involve the evaluation of user behavior performance and the enhancement of user capabilities. Future research should inherit and develop the cognitive research paradigm in the field of interactive information retrieval, expand the research scenarios to real human-computer dialogues under the GenAI scenario, and focus on evaluating and discovering better user behavior patterns.

    This study investigates the key factors driving rumor diffusion, traces their intertwined evolution, and analyzes the diffusion mechanisms to support listed companies in formulating effective crisis management strategies to mitigate potential losses. First, this study examines diffusion paths to identify key elements in the spread of negative rumors on social networks. Using the "Haitian double standards" incident as a case study, this research collects data from Sina Weibo and analyzes it within a life-cycle theoretical framework, employing methods such as social network analysis and LDA topic modeling. Tools like Gephi and Python are further utilized to identify key elements and trace the evolution of the diffusion network. Finally, practical crisis management strategies are proposed based on the diffusion mechanism. This study found that the three key elements in the spread of negative rumors on social networks, namely users, information content and time periods, are intertwined and evolving during the spreading process. As time progresses, user degree centrality shows an inverted U-shape. Key participants transition from grassroots, non-verified users to authoritative, verified users, and eventually back to non-verified users. Meanwhile, content themes evolve towards core issues and then transition to long-term performance, with the growth phase being a crucial period for the progression of the event. Listed companies can enhance their crisis response by targeting influential users and addressing critical content themes during this phase to proactively mitigate risks.

    Abstract363)      PDF(pc) (9129KB)(157)       Save
    As the fifth major production factor, the key to releasing the value of data lies in its assetization. This paper finds that the leap from data resources to data asset involves five key domains: confirmation of ownership of data asset,value assessment and pricing of data asset, data asset recognition in balance sheet, circulation and trading of data asset, and governance and management of data asset. The disciplinary responsibility and mission of Information Resources Management(IRM), as well as its theoretical system centered on data and information, provide inevitability and possibility for IRM to conduct research on data assetization. Moreover, IRM has already achieved relatively complete research results in data resources management, supporting its steady progress towards data assetization. Based on this, this paper looks ahead to the future research on data assetization in IRM, pointing out that IRM scholars should strengthen systematic research on data policies and regulations and improve the framework of data asset governance system in the future; focus on the open circulation of government data assets and explore new paths for authorized management; deeply explore the content and management of data assets in public libraries, and help promote service innovation and competitiveness improvement; pay attention to characteristic entities such as data providers and third-party service providers, and expand the practice of data assetization; address the ownership and security issues of user data assets, and enhance the data literacy and ability cultivation of practitioners. Ultimately, this paper aims to promote the improvement of the data-related research system in the IRM discipline.

    The Configurational Approach to Innovation in Technology-based Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Based on the Synergistic Framework of “Capabilities-Motivation-Policy”
    Wang Liuhong Wang Hongqinling Ba Zhichao Wang Qi
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (3): 135-151.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.03.135
    Abstract359)      PDF(pc) (2605KB)(438)       Save
    Technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) serve as a pivotal force in bolstering independent innovation and facilitating research transformation. Understanding how technology, market forces, and policy mix interact to influence their innovation is crucial for fostering sustainable and high-quality growth among technology-based SMEs. Given the current dearth of comprehensive discussions on multifaceted conditions and mechanisms underlying local technology-based SME innovation, this study draws the Fogg behavior model (FBM) to conceptualize the innovation process of these enterprises as a collective driving behavior jointly shaped by capabilities, motivations, and policy interventions. It introduces an integrated analytical framework to explore the innovation landscape of local technology-based SMEs and employs a dynamic fsQCA method to conduct a configuration analysis of 283 cases from urban technology-based SMEs across China between 2015 and 2022. This analysis incorporates both inter-group and intra-group comparisons to reveal the spatiotemporal distribution disparities in configuration coverage. Our results indicate that: 1)the innovation of technology-based SMEs within a city is jointly propelled by its fundamental capabilities, innovation motivations, and a combination of policy interventions; 2)the synergistic interaction of “capabilities-motivations-policy” forms five distinct configuration paths that facilitate high-level innovation among local technology-based SMEs, exhibiting notable spatiotemporal heterogeneity; 3)under conditions of strong innovation motivation, capabilities and policy intervention combinations enhance the innovation level of local technology-based SMEs through equivalent substitution, achieving similar outcomes through diverse approaches.

    Analysis on the Differences in the Diffusion Speed of Scientific Papers and Its Influencing Factors from the Perspective of Social Media Users
    Hou Jianhua Yang Siyu Wang Yuanyuan Zhang Yang
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (2): 151-162,封3.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.02.151
    Abstract354)      PDF(pc) (5238KB)(1222)       Save
    This study aimed to develop a metric for measuring the diffusion speed of scientific knowledge on social media platforms, using Twitter as an example, and to investigate the differences between short-term and long-term diffusion speeds of scientific papers, as well as their influencing factors. Articles published in Volumes 66-68 of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians were selected as the research sample. The entropy weight method was used to construct a metric for diffusion speed. SPSS was used to analyze the differences between short-term and long-term diffusion speeds, while Eviews was employed to conduct Granger causality analysis to identify the factors influencing these differences. The analysis revealed that the number of keywords and the number of authors significantly influenced the diffusion speed of scientific knowledge on social media. In the short term, the diffusion speed was Granger-caused by the citation count of the first author, whereas in the long term, it was influenced not only by citation counts but also by the first author’s academic impact, as measured by their h-index. These findings suggested that the diffusion speed of scientific knowledge on social media is affected by multiple factors. Specifically, the number of keywords and the number of authors played a significant role in both short-term and long-term diffusion. Moreover, in the short term, the citation count of the first author was a key driver, while in the long term, both citation counts and the first author’s academic impact contribute to sustained dissemination. Therefore, scholars with higher academic influence were more likely to facilitate the long-term diffusion of their scientific papers on social media, primarily through the endorsement of their academic reputation.

    Sources of Policy: A New Mode of Policiometrics
    Huo Fanfan Huo Chaoguang Yao Yuqi
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (2): 46-58.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.02.046
    Abstract345)      PDF(pc) (14560KB)(141)       Save
    Policiometrics and policy text quantification analysis play an important role in uncovering complex patterns within policies. However, existing policiometrics models are relatively simplistic and lack innovation. Drawing inspiration from the connotation and system of source of law, this paper proposes a new model called "sources of policy". Unlike the sources of law that focus solely on tracing legal sources or policy diffusion that examines the spread and adoption of policies among different levels and regions of government, sources of policy emphasize the legal basis, value foundation, ideological basis, and spiritual basis of policy formulation. It refers to the superior policies, ideological origins, related requirements, overall guidelines, or general instructions of a given policy. Based on the underlying meanings of various source of policy indicators, four primary categories are identified: citation-based source of policy, implementation-based sources of policy, application-based source of policy, and utility-adjustment-based source of policy. For the first time, a comprehensive category system comprising 17 subclasses of sources of policy is developed. An empirical analysis is conducted using local data governance policies as a case study. The findings reveal that this source of policy model effectively quantifies and analyzes policy interrelationships. Different sources of policy categories comprehensively depict the implications of their respective relationships. Using local data governance policies as an example, the model partially reflects the patterns presented by different sources of policy and source network in data governance, while also uncovering issues and deficiencies in the sources of policy of existing data governance policies. This model holds significant value in unveiling dynamic policy changes and interrelations. It is applicable across various domains, offering a new framework for policy quantification analysis research and enriching existing policy research methodologies.

    The negative externalities of digital services on Internet platforms has attracted extensive regulatory attention. The study of the global typical EU digital service regulation policy changes can provide a mirror for China's Internet platform regulation and digital service policy. Based on the policy feedback theory, this paper constructs an analytical framework, standardizes the content and reform practice of the EU digital service regulation policy, and combs the evolution of the EU digital service regulation policy of "lenient responsibility-balanced responsibility-diligence responsibility". In this process, the regulation activities of policy change are influenced by the first order feedforward resource effect and the interpretation effect. The formation of new public policy is shaped by the evolution effect of second-order feedback and the learning effect. Based on this logic, the EU has created a policy reform approach for digital service regulation, which covers three major strategies: policy consolidation, policy learning and policy adaptation. To sum up the experience of EU digital service regulation policy is of great significance for our country to learn from EU approach scientifically and rationally.

    Wu Yuting Zhou Xiaoying Chen Yanfang
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (3): 21-36.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.03.021
    Abstract295)      PDF(pc) (8141KB)(128)       Save
    In order to explore the pathways to realizing the value of cultural heritage data elements, enhance the efficiency of data management and application, provide theoretical support for the digital protection and innovative utilization of cultural heritage, and provide replicable experience for relevant policy formulation and practice, this study selected 50 typical “Data Element X” projects in the cultural heritage sector and collected descriptive texts pertaining to these initiatives. Following the grounded theory methodology, the project texts were coded and analyzed, ultimately leading to the construction of a process model for value realization of cultural heritage data elements. This study finds that data management, project planning and scenario application are the key driving forces in this process. Driven by the three forces, the standardization foundation is consolidated by data management power, the dynamic integration of elements is promoted by project overall planning power, and multi-dimensional value is released by scene application power. This forms a third-order pathway of “foundation construction-element integration-value jump”, which ultimately contributes to constructing a three-dimensional value network of “core scene-derivative ecology-cultural community”.

    Abstract267)      PDF(pc) (3297KB)(777)       Save
    This study compares the differences between generated AI supported conversational search and traditional web search in user information search behavior and learning outcomes. Combined with the cognitive load theory, this study explores the information acquisition efficiency, learning outcomes and user experience of users using the two systems in various learning search situations, aiming to deeply understand the characteristics of user information search behavior and help improve the information search and learning outcomes. The experimental method was used to collect the index data, the experimental subjects were divided into a conversational search and a traditional web search group, and the user's learning information search behavior was divided into information seek behavior, information selection behavior and information utilization behavior. The learning search outcomes were divided into five dimensions, and a linear regression model was used to compare the differences in information search behavior and learning effect between the two groups of users. Results show that users' use of conversational search system can improve the learning outcome by reducing the cognitive load, and also make part of the user's information search behavior more complex. This study provides theoretical support for revealing the cognitive mechanism behind users' information search behavior and learning outcome differences, broadens the research vision of "search as learning", and provides practical enlightenment for improving the interactive design of the functions of conservational search and traditional web search system and providing learning information service functions.

    Beyond Text-Centrism: The Transformation of Chinese Digital Humanities Driven by Multimodal Technologies
    Liu Wei Shan Rongrong Jin Jiaqin
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (5): 14-20.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.05.014
    Abstract255)      PDF(pc) (677KB)(111)       Save
    Digital humanities research has traditionally centered on textual analysis, yet this "text-centrism" paradigm reveals significant limitations within the Chinese context, including insufficient character set coverage, low OCR accuracy, and the loss of non-textual cultural information, all of which hinder a comprehensive study of China's rich material cultural heritage. The emergence of multimodal technologies offers a transformative pathway for Chinese digital humanities. This paper investigates the predicaments of text-centrism, analyzes solutions enabled by multimodal fusion technologies, and uses DeepSeek’s Janus Pro model as a case study to illustrate the potential of unified multimodal large-scale models in ancient text digitization, intelligent agent development, and cultural heritage preservation. The results show that multimodal technology can reconstruct cultural memory through cross-modal synergy, enhance the public's cultural identity, and provide technical and methodological support for the transformation of Chinese digital humanities.

    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (5): 21-33.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.05.021
    Abstract220)      PDF(pc) (1211KB)(162)       Save
    The national data infrastructure serves as the key carrier for the circulation and utilization of data elements throughout their entire life cycle. It plays a strategic role in promoting the aggregation, sharing, security, and efficient use of data resources. From the perspective of value release of data elements, this paper systematically analyzes the functional and institutional requirements for the national data infrastructure. It is proposed that the national data infrastructure should provide support in all stages of data elements value realization, including "creation of use value—mining of application value—release of multiple values". Furthermore, this paper constructs a three-dimensional organizational system of "region—industry—enterprise" and an operational mechanism that includes "one core, two pillars, and two safeguards." This builds a comprehensive system for the construction and operation of national data infrastructure, covering the entire data element chain across platforms and hierarchical levels. Additionally, safeguard measures for the innovation of the construction and operation system mechanism are proposed from the dimensions of technological innovation, institutional construction, and ecological collaboration. This study provides theoretical basis and practical reference for promoting the high-quality development of national data infrastructure in China and accelerating the release of data element value.

    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (4): 129-143.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.04.129
    Abstract200)      PDF(pc) (10557KB)(83)       Save
    Faced with issues such as high resource consumption, long processing times, and poor scalability in scientific entity extraction tasks, this paper proposes a collaborative training framework that balances the advantages of both small and large language models. The paper tests the effectiveness of this learning framework's model training under different data scales. Using four datasets from different fields—NCBI, BC4CHEMD, S800, and SCIERC—this method is shown to achieve results consistent with full-data fine-tuning in few-shot environments. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the limitations of large language model prediction strategies in scientific entity extraction tasks and systematically tests the model performance exhibited by small and large language models under different data scales through multiple rounds of collaborative training. Additionally, from the dual perspectives of small model recognition strategies and training data similarity, this paper thoroughly examines the reasons for the improved performance of the proposed learning framework. The collaborative training framework built in this paper enables the simultaneous exploitation of large language model cognitive advantages and small model low-cost, high-efficiency operations, thus better supporting efficient extraction of bibliometric information in low-resource, few-shot environments.

    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (4): 99-113.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.04.099
    Abstract198)      PDF(pc) (1548KB)(94)       Save
    The construction of digital government is an important lever for promoting the modernization of governance system and governance capacity. The “National Pilot Project of Information Benefiting the People” policy is adopted as an exogenous policy shock for digital government construction, and the empirical analysis of the mechanism of digital government empowering social governance is conducted using methods such as double difference-in-differences (DID) and regression discontinuity (RD). The study found that after the implementation of the “National Pilot Project of Information Benefiting the People” policy, the level of social governance in the pilot areas has been significantly improved. The construction of digital government will promote the participation of social subjects in public affairs decision-making by improving the use of the Internet, improve the efficiency of social governance, reduce the perception of uncertainty, and amplify the social governance effect of “National Pilot Project of Information Benefiting the People”. At the same time, the impact of digital government on social governance will be restricted by factors such as policy lag effect and show significant heterogeneity. In order to continuously and efficiently empower social governance, in the future, China should promote and improve the construction of a digital government by ensuring comprehensive digital governance coverage, strengthening digital empowerment, motivating officials to take proactive actions, and enhancing public participation.

    Technology Opportunities Identification and Evaluation Based on Policy-Technology Topic Association:A Case Study of the New Energy Vehicle Industry
    Zhang Zihan Li Yang Wu Keye
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (5): 82-98.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.05.082
    Abstract177)      PDF(pc) (7117KB)(82)       Save
    Previous studies on technology opportunity identification are mostly limited to the perspective of technology itself, pay insufficient attention to policy documents that directly reflect the major strategic demands of a country. In view of this, this paper proposes a technology opportunity identification method based on policy-technology topic association, aiming to explore the potential gaps between policy demands and technological development. Specifically, this paper uses policy documents to represent policy demands and patent technologies to represent the degree of technological development. The identification of technology opportunities is divided into three modules: topic extraction of policies and technologies, topic association, and identification and evaluation of policy-technology integration opportunities. Firstly, this paper identifies policy and technology topics by constructing a LDA topic model. Then, word embedding and hierarchical clustering methods are used to establish the mapping relationship between policy and technology. This paper locates technology opportunity by constructing identification quadrant according to the identification rules. Finally, This study takes the field of new energy vehicles as an example to verify the effectiveness of research framework, which provides information support for country and research institutions to accelerate the layout in this field.

    A Typical Action Integrating Intelligence and Data: Data Sensemaking in User-Generated Intelligent Search Engine Interactions
    Peng Siyuan Wu Siying Ling Shang Li Qiao Wang Ping
    Journal of Information Resources Management    2025, 15 (5): 34-50.   DOI: 10.13365/j.jirm.2025.05.034

    Generative intelligent search engines, which integrate generative artificial intelligence technology and retrieval techniques, have the potential to support researchers in overcoming challenges during data sensemaking, but they also come with certain risks. Drawing upon sense-making theory, information behavior model, information search process model, and information search behavior model, this study preliminarily proposes the Data Search As Data sensemaking(DS-DSM) theoretical model. To explore this model, this study conducts a user experiment on the Bing Copilot platform to understand how researchers construct the meaning of data through interaction with generative intelligent search engines. The findings indicate that in the interaction scenario of generative intelligent search engines, the essence of researchers’ data search is data sensemaking. This study also identifies the stages of this process and reveals how, at each stage, researchers cognitively, affectively, and behaviorally engage with generative intelligent search engines as a bridge to overcome gaps in the data sensemaking process to complete data-centered tasks. In data-related task situations, researchers’ sensemaking begins at the formulation stage. In contrast, in research-related task situations, some researchers first go through initiation, selection, and exploration stages without clear goals. In the formulation stage, the types of gaps researchers face and the bridges they use are the most diverse, showing the most complex behavioral, cognitive, and affective responses. Based on these findings, this study proposes practical strategies for optimizing the design of generative intelligent search engines and conducting user literacy education.
