Library diplomacy functions as a strategic nexus of international relations and academic exchange, employing library resources, expertise, and global networks as instruments of soft power to promote cross-border collaboration and mutual understanding, thereby transforming cultural institutions from passive custodians of culture into proactive participants in the modern global landscape. This paper utilises the National Central Library (NCL) of Taiwan as a prime illustration of this metamorphosis, illustrating its progression from a conventional information repository to a dynamic, advanced hub for international collaboration. This study expands upon the research of Bell and Mariano by integrating empirical case studies with established theoretical frameworks to examine how the NCL leverages its distinctive position to facilitate cultural exchanges aligned with diplomatic goals.This research examines the NCL’s engagement with diplomatic missions in Taiwan, including human rights discourse, multilateral cultural festivals, socio-cultural exhibitions, and joint cultural exchanges development, to demonstrate the library’s proactive efficacy as a vehicle for soft power. Through this analysis, the NCL is shown to reconcile its institutional goals and larger diplomatic goals and to position itself as a critical node between Taiwan and its global allies. The NCL provides an open, neutral and high-quality information infrastructure, enabling sustainable cross-cultural dialogue and strengthening institutional trust. This research concludes that the NCL, through systematic knowledge sharing and high-level cultural exchange partnerships, not only preserves the cultural heritage of the nation but also immensely elevates Taiwan’s voice and visibility in the international arena, providing a strong and replicable model for the role of national libraries in contemporary international relations.

[Purpose/Significance]Facing the complex challenges posed by traditional multimodal technology fusion model algorithms,this paper attempts to propose an interactive multimodal attention regulation strategy based on an editable glossary in the context of multimodal technology fusion in public libraries.The strategy aims to meet the control needs of staffs regarding the content they focu on the model and provides them with an intuitive operation method.[Method/Process]An interactive multimodal attention regulation strategy based on an editable glossary was constructed through four steps:data preprocessing,feature extraction and visualization,attention regulation,feature fusion and training.On the basis of constructing an editable glossary,combining deep learning frameworks and attention mechanisms,a multimodal fusion model is trained to achieve significant enhancement of multimodal fusion.Two sets of ablation experiments were conducted to deeply explore the key role of this strategy in the image-text fusion task of public libraries.[Result/Conclusion]The innovation of this strategy is significantly reflected in the editability and intuitiveness.It improves the interpretability and ease of use of multimodal fusion,and boosts the performance of the image-text fusion task in public libraries.Additionally,it facilitates staffs to modify the attention allocation strategy in the multimodal learning system.

L'articolo presenta una breve storia delle collezioni manoscritte della Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Firenze e una lista dei messali manoscritti finora individuati nei fondi Conventi Soppressi, Fondo nazionale, Magliabechiano, Nuove Accessioni. Si aggiungono osservazioni sulle risorse catalografiche relative e note iniziali per uno studio dei manoscritti pervenuti dal Patrimonio Ecclesiastico alla Biblioteca Magliabechiana nel 1789.

[Purpose/Significance]In order to promote the healthy and orderly development of open science,governments,academia and industry in many countries have agreed that policy should play a role in guiding,supporting and regulating open science.A systematic study on the issue of why open science can be entered the policy field,is of a great significance for revealing the evolutionary logic of open science policy formulation,distinguishing the values pursued by open science policies,and providing theoretical support for the promotion of special open science policies and the sustainable development of open science.[Method/Process]Considering the multiple streams theory and combination with the specific problem thresholds of open science in China,this paper proposes an analytical framework for setting the policy agenda for open science,namely that:1)the actual requirements for the development of science,technology,and the economy,adverse feedback on the current policies and public health emergencies constitute the problem stream.2)existing policies and recommendations of experts and scholars constitute the policy stream.3)the political ideas held by the leadership group and the national emotions represented by the researchers and ordinary people constitute the political stream.On this basis,by analyzing the formulation of relevant policies,the practical progress and research status of open science in China,this article clarifies the reasons why"open science"has become the content regulated by the Science and Technology Progress Law of the People's Republic of China.[Results/Conclusions]This paper believes that:1)In terms of the problem stream,the achievements of China's national science and technology innovation system construction have provided a large amount of human resources,knowledge resources and infrastructure resources for promoting open science,laying a solid foundation for the development of open science.However,China's requirements for openness and sharing in science and technology are scattered in different policy documents,making it difficult to form a policy synergy to jointly promote the vigorous development of open science.Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic communication and research paradigms,it is necessary to shift the focus of open science policy from a social problem to a policy issue.2)In terms of the policy stream,many policies formulated and implemented by the Chinese government,research funding agencies and scientific research and education institutions involve the relevant content of open science,which provide important support for the entry of open science into law.3)In the terms of the political stream,the Party and government in China have paid close attention to the issue of open science,treating it as an important topic for national scientific and technological innovation.This has been intertwined with the call from the general public for open science,which has made it a leading force in bringing open science to the attention of policymakers.4)The convergence of these three streams,with the construction of Digital China rising to the national strategic level and the launch of UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science has pushed open science onto the policy agenda.Finally,this paper suggests that Chinese government departments and relevant institutions take systematic measures to ensure the effective implementation of open science policies.

Beginning with the Carlo Levi Archive housed at the Central State Archive, this contribution introduces, for the first time, the Carlo Levi Fund of the National Central Library of Rome, providing a detailed analysis of the preserved documents as well as the rediscovered books from the author's personal library.
