Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] This paper explores the value co-creation mechanism in libraries by integrating metaverse scenarios and AIGC(Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) applications, providing insights for the transformation of libraries. [Method/Process] Starting with the theory of value co-creation, this paper expanded the “books-person-use” theoretical framework by integrating metaverse scenarios and AIGC applications. Based on this framework, this paper analyzed the value co-creation mechanism in libraries that integrating metaverse scenarios and AIGC applications, including the content and subjects of value co-creation, the process of value co-creation, and the stages of value co-creation. It also analyzed potential issues of co-governance and co-sharing in value co-creation and provided application approaches based on Web 3.0. [Result/Conclusion] Under the paradigm of value co-creation, metaverse scenarios and AIGC applications can provide new opportunities for the innovation of resources and services in libraries. New participation methods empower users with greater initiative, increasingly highlighting their value and playing a significant role in value co-creation. It promotes the formation of a decentralized value co-creation model. The decentralized organizational model of Web 3.0 can provide solutions for the issues of co-governance and co-sharing in value co-creation, and promotes the healthy development of the entire value co-creation system. It holds the potential to transform libraries into new spaces for knowledge exchange that are characterized by human-machine integration, virtual-real interaction, and supply-demand matching.
