Abstract: The heterogeneity of the reader group in vocational undergraduate colleges and the alternating learning pace of engineering have put forward special requirements for library reader services that are different from those of ordinary undergraduate and vocational colleges. Starting from the analysis of reader structural characteristics, this article reveals core issues such as service demand stratification caused by diversified student sources, spatiotemporal service misalignment caused by the alternating mode of work and study, and technical information support gap caused by the dual role of teachers. On this basis, a three in one content optimization system is proposed, which includes course literature support services for the entire learning cycle, real-time job knowledge acquisition services for practical training and internships, and value-added technical intelligence services for industry education collaboration. The article further explores the improvement path of service response mechanism from three dimensions: elastic spatiotemporal configuration, user behavior driven active push mechanism, and service closed-loop under the first inquiry responsibility system. The research aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the systematic improvement of reader services in vocational undergraduate college libraries.
