In the context of the rapid development of information technology and increasing demands for scientific research and decision-making, university libraries are playing an increasingly important role in supporting academic and administrative activities. Using the example of the library of Heilongjiang University, this article explores strategies for building the functions of a library as a think tank, including the integration of information resources, the training of expert librarians, and interdepartmental collaboration. Particular attention is paid to the library's practical experience in providing think tank services, such as data analysis, research support, and decision-making consultations. The article also offers recommendations for the further development of library services as a think tank, which may be useful for other university libraries seeking to strengthen their role in supporting scientific and administrative activities.
