The development of digital and mobile technology has led to the emergence of digital scholarship, which is a challenge but also an opportunity for higher education institutions to improve their space and relevant services to support students’ success. The purpose of this study is to explore university students’ needs and expectations on digital scholarship spaces and relevant services in an academic library, as well as the differences in this based on gender, academic identity, and subject being studied. We conducted a survey at Shipai campus of Jinan University in Guangzhou to collect and analyze users’ needs and expectations. Among the digital scholarship service, the demand scores of the top three services are text recognition and full-text processing with 7.00, academic paper writing, submission, publication, and dissemination consulting services with 6.86, and digitization of printed documents with 6.72. Elsewhere, the demand score of the top three spaces are the online digital scholarship space with 6.57, the research project application and exchange space with 6.43, and the text analysis, data analysis, Big Data, and visualization service center with 6.27. With the improvement of academic identity, the demand for digital scholarship services is higher. Gender has led to differences in a small number of space needs, while the differences brought about by the subject being studied are more significant. This research contributes to the understanding of how the digital technology, the students’ spaces needs, and relevant management practice merge in academic libraries for students’ learning and research purposes. These have implications for universities to improve their libraries’ space services oriented to the diverse users’ digital scholarship needs in the current digital learning environment.

本科生和研究生对综合性大学图书馆数字学术空间的需求和期望：一项调查

数字和移动技术的发展导致了数字奖学金的出现，这对于高等教育机构改善其空间和相关服务以支持学生的成功来说是一个挑战，也是一个机遇。本研究的目的是探讨大学生对学术图书馆数字学术空间和相关服务的需求和期望，以及基于性别、学术身份和所研究科目的差异。我们在广州暨南大学石牌校区进行了一项调查，收集并分析用户的需求和期望。数字学术服务中，需求得分排名前三的服务分别是文本识别和全文处理（7.00）、学术论文写作、提交、出版和传播咨询服务（6.86）、印刷文档数字化（6.72）。另外，需求得分排名前三的空间分别是在线数字学术空间（6.57）、科研项目申请与交流空间（6.43）、文本分析、数据分析、大数据、可视化服务中心（6.27）。随着学术认同的提高，对数字化奖学金服务的需求更高。性别导致了少数空间需求的差异，而所研究的对象带来的差异则更为显着。这项研究有助于了解数字技术、学生的空间需求和相关管理实践如何在学术图书馆中融合，以供学生学习和研究。这些对于大学改善其图书馆的空间服务具有重要意义，这些服务面向当前数字学习环境中不同用户的数字学术需求。
