Frontiers in Computing and Intelligent Systems ISSN: 2832-6024 | Vol. 7, No. 1, 2024 72 Research on the Application of BIM in the Operation and Maintenance Management of University Libraries Tong Yan School of North China University of Science and Technology, Tangshan Hebei 063000, China Abstract: With the rapid development of information technology, university libraries, as important carriers and service providers of academic resources, are facing more and more challenges in the digital age. The traditional library operation and maintenance management model can no longer meet the growing demand. However, there is currently relatively little research on BIM based operation and maintenance management of university libraries. Although BIM technology has achieved significant results in the construction industry, its application in the library field has not yet been fully developed and explored. Therefore, this study aims to fill this knowledge gap by utilizing the advantages and characteristics of BIM technology to propose an operation and maintenance management model suitable for university libraries, in order to achieve more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable operation and maintenance management. Keywords: BIM Technology; IT Operation Management; University Library. 1. Introduction In the construction of universities, libraries play an important role. Students spend about one-third of their time in the library [1]. Libraries play a role in value orientation, educational promotion, and spiritual cultivation for students. However, university libraries have also exposed an increasing number of operational maintenance and management issues. Based on BIM technology, two-dimensional data on building drawings can be converted into three-dimensional models, and the constructed models can be used as carriers in the operation and maintenance phase, greatly improving management efficiency. Therefore, we can apply BIM technology to the operation and maintenance stage to solve the operation and maintenance management problems of university libraries. 2. Research Status of Operation and Maintenance Management based on BIM Library At present, libraries in China face problems such as insufficient personnel skills, a wide variety of equipment, and a lack of management systems. To address these issues, we should increase technological development, cultivate technical talents, and formulate management measures to ensure the effective operation and maintenance management work. Gao Xinao et al. applied BIM technology to the operation and maintenance management of libraries, changing the problems of low efficiency and high difficulty in traditional library operation and maintenance management models [2]. Based on the current situation of equipment operation and maintenance management in university libraries, Liu Baiping et al. analyzed the existing problems and shortcomings, and proposed methods and strategies to improve the efficiency of equipment operation and maintenance management in university libraries from different perspectives[3]. Lin Ping et al. analyzed and designed a library information operation and maintenance management system using a three-layer B/S structure, which standardized the operational process of library operation and maintenance work and greatly improved the efficiency of existing library information operation and maintenance work [4]. Zhang Jun et al. elaborated on the characteristics of self-service in university libraries, analyzed the current situation of self-service operation and maintenance management in vocational college libraries, explored the content and mode of self-service operation and maintenance in vocational college libraries, and proposed measures to achieve self-service operation and maintenance management in vocational college libraries [5]. From the current research status, the operation and maintenance management based on BIM technology has broken the traditional management mode and actively combined with new technologies and methods, solving the problems of slow information transmission and high equipment management and maintenance costs in operation and maintenance management to a certain extent. However, there are still some problems in the research and application of operation and maintenance management based on BIM technology at present: (1) Although the research on the combination of BIM technology and operation and maintenance management is relatively common, the existing research and application mainly focus on the design and construction stages of building engineering. (2) There is not much in-depth research on characteristic buildings such as university libraries. Both domestically and internationally, there have been explorations in both theoretical and practical applications of BIM based operation and maintenance management. The theoretical exploration involves data exchange and information integration, while the application exploration involves the system architecture construction and software development required by actual engineering projects, which is a common research. There is relatively little targeted research on specific purpose buildings during the operation and maintenance phase. (3) There is relatively little research on the relationship between BIM, operation and maintenance management, and university libraries both domestically and internationally. 73 3.
