This implies that librarians and DL software agents should place emphasis on integrated service development to attract the attention of their users. Towards this goal, they could explain that personalized services (e.g. material recommendation, message recommendation, knowledge subject materials) with a mechanism of multi\u2010resource integration can help provide DL resources according to users' needs and wants, and in consequence to enhance DL service efficacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The research describes the importance of information\/knowledge integration with respect to its support on the learning and study methods of users, and has developed a personalized knowledge integration platform as a mechanism that provides a personalized information service and a personalized knowledge subject category service. By employing Apriori algorithm and association rules as the data mining mechanism, personalized information recommendations are derived from circulation data, and a knowledge subject category is integrated from online sharing knowledge by participants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/07378831211266627","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,22]],"date-time":"2012-08-22T16:31:42Z","timestamp":1345653102000},"page":"490-512","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["PIKIP<sub>DL<\/sub>"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Shu\u2010Chen","family":"Kao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ChienHsing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2019123015015620800_b1","unstructured":"Agrawal, R. and Srikant, R.
