ABSTRACT

With the changes in higher education and the job market, university libraries play an increasingly important role in cultivating students' employability. The traditional reading promotion model in libraries primarily focuses on knowledge dissemination and cultural heritage. However, in the context of employment orientation, libraries need to adjust their service functions to help students improve their professional qualities and enhance their competitiveness in the job market. This study aims to explore an employment-oriented reading promotion model for university libraries and propose optimization strategies. First, by analyzing the current reading promotion models in university libraries and their integration with employment-oriented education, the study reveals existing shortcomings. Secondly, based on students' employment needs and university employment goals, an employment-centered reading promotion model optimization framework is proposed. This framework includes strategies such as optimizing reading resources, enriching employment-related activities, and strengthening university-enterprise cooperation, along with implementing pathways. Finally, through surveys and data analysis, the study verifies the effectiveness of the optimized model in enhancing students' employability. This research provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the transformation of university libraries in the new era.
