This analysis demonstrates the necessity of knowledge collaboration in university libraries, highlighting innovative service models and regional cooperation.
In response to national strategies for high-quality talent cultivation and industrial development, industry-education integration (IEI) has emerged as a crucial mechanism connecting education, talent, industry, and innovation. University libraries, particularly in engineering-oriented institutions, face a necessary transformation from "resource assurance" to "knowledge collaboration". Here, knowledge collaboration is defined as the active co-production, sharing, and integration of information and expertise among libraries, faculty, students, and external partners, enabling the co-creation of knowledge across academic and industrial boundaries. This paper constructs a systematic framework consisting of four interrelated dimensions: specialized resources, embedded services, intelligent platforms, and collaborative mechanisms. Based on a comprehensive literature review, this study examines the necessity and feasibility of library functional reconstruction under IEI, and proposes innovative service models. It argues that libraries must embed themselves into teaching, research, and industrial collaboration, transitioning from passive providers to active partners. This transformation enhances support for technical talent cultivation, strengthens regional industry-academia cooperation, and contributes to sustainable development. Future research directions include empirical evaluations of innovative practices and models of inter-institutional collaboration.
