In order to improve the ability of library and information management in colleges and universities, and improve intelligent retrieval level of books, a design method of library information management system is proposed based on big data fusion. The phase space reconstruction technology is used to reconstruct the feature of library and information. The feature quantity of semantic concept set of library information is extracted, and the classification storage and information retrieval of library information is carried out by fuzzy clustering method. The adaptive training method is used for feature fusion, and big data fusion of library and information is realized in high dimensional feature space. The data processing center is set up under the Linux kernel environment, the application program of the university library information management system is developed under the Linux kernel, and the VXI bus technology is used to transmit and schedule the university library information management information and data. Realize the software development and design of the school library information management system. The test results show that the design of university library information management system with this method has good information storage and scheduling ability, and it improves the performance of library information retrieval.

It has been a challenge for Malaysia to handle solid waste management for more than a decade. The increase in population size has led to an increase in the waste amount contributed by Malaysians. Due to that, proper solid waste management is essential in protecting the environment. There are many ways to execute solid waste management but developing countries may find it challenging to find the best way to dispose of waste efficiently. The same phenomenon seems to happen on university campuses as well. This article aims to propose a smart waste management system for university campuses. Most of the related work concentrates on detecting bin levels, despite making it a full-fledged system that comprises several modules regardless of web or mobile platform. A prototype of a smart bin is proposed, and this paper discusses its architecture and functionality. A web-based user application is also proposed in this article. With these components, the system enables the user to obtain information on the bins around them and can help the management to manage solid waste more efficiently. With the help of the Internet of Things and Cloud services, the system can achieve a greener and more sustainable campus environment. The proposed system will also be enhanced further to increase the awareness among the university students to move forward to a greener campus.

In the last quarter century, since the university is the main source of the human resources required by the knowledge society, structural and functional restructuring efforts of the university institution have been increasing to strengthen the positive impact on economic growth and social development through education and research activities. Today, the Anglo-Saxon and the Far East countries have the most successful university examples in this context; European universities come second in performance, although there are tremendous differences among member countries. Being a candidate for the European Union membership and as a member of the Council of Europe as the first signatory states of the Cultural Convention; implementation of reforms in the European Higher Education Area is obligatory for Turkey. In this study, an organizational and operating model has been developed in line with the European university reform agenda. CoHE's university approach which focuses on thematic and regional development has also been taken into consideration. Five innovations can be mentioned in terms of organizational and functional configuration of the model: (i) Profile of graduate and mission of the new generation university in the fields of education, research and community services, (ii) Policy development and implementation offices, (iii) University ecosystem consultation and steering committee and other committees and boards, (iv) Concept courses and branded courses, (v) Recognition of prior learning, (vi) Coop-education and solution partnerships.
