Abstract: With the socialization of education in China and the increasing importance of the state to education, the number of students receiving higher level education is also expanding. Higher level education laws and regulations play an important role in realizing the sustainable and stable development of education. Maintaining students’ right of fair evaluation is one of the key contents of higher education laws and regulations. Schools and teachers should make fair evaluation on students’ academic research and moral conduct according to their actual situation. Based on this, the text takes university teachers as the starting point, discusses the necessity for university students to obtain the right to fair evaluation, and analyzes the status quo of university students’ understanding of their right to fair evaluation, alongside the guiding role of higher education laws and regulations in safeguarding this right.

Abstract: Colleges are the main venues for imparting knowledge and cultivating high-quality talents, and libraries are able to provide students and teachers with more extensive and diverse sources of knowledge. However, due to the influence of traditional library working modes, many college students and teachers nowadays have low borrowing frequencies at libraries, and the borrowing process is cumbersome and tedious. Modern library construction should focus on fun, leveraging new scientific and technological advancements to create intelligent interactive libraries, actively integrating digital media and interactive technology. The current library application and business functions are unable to meet the growing needs of readers. Based on the current situation of borrowing patterns in college libraries, this paper proposes optimization suggestions, providing a fun and practical interactive system, optimizing many challenges faced by today’s college libraries, and improving the reader experience. It presents a new idea for creating a new type of college library system.
