With the growth of digital content industry, publishers start to provide online services for ebook search, reading and downloading. Users can access to online resources from anywhere, any place with laptop or mobile devices at any time. Nowadays more and more libraries have purchased ebooks as an important part of the library collection. To access the online resources users can link directly to publisher's ebook portal or via the OPAC system. Compared to the library circulation process, ebooks are more convenient to patrons and improve the utilization of library online resources.
There are various kinds of ebooks available in the market, so libraries have to focus their investment on the most valuable online resources. Usage statistics report plays an important role in providing valuable information to libraries. It is usually based on the standard of COUNTER to generate the statistic reports, although it provides when and where users access to specific ebooks, it fails show the general topics and how they change.
In this study, we introduce a post process method to weighting the LDA topic model via the usage statistic report to emphasize the changes of topic and compare it to the classification method and subject heading method in the bibliographic, namely LCC and LCSH respectively. The result show that weighted topic model significantly affect the ranking of topics, and the topic model are independent from the classification method and the subject heading method in the bibliographic record.
