For many years, the school had been using a traditional library system. While basic circulation functions were stable, the system had clear limitations in supporting e-learning, BYOD devices, and future AI applications, and the upgrade cost–benefit ratio could not meet the school’s expectations. As the school placed increasing emphasis on e‑books and online resources, teachers needed a smart platform that could manage physical books, analyse reading data, and support AI‑driven recommendations; the legacy system could no longer support future development needs.
