In the context of high-quality development, optimizing the structure of paper-based resources in libraries has become a critical issue for enhancing service efficiency and meeting evolving user demands. This study explores the challenges and strategies associated with the structural optimization of physical collections, focusing on balancing resource allocation, improving utilization rates, and integrating traditional and digital formats. Through theoretical analysis and a case study approach, the paper identifies key obstacles such as budget constraints, space limitations, and shifting user preferences, while proposing data-driven assessment methods and collaborative sharing models as effective solutions. The findings highlight the importance of strategic collection management in achieving sustainable library development and suggest future directions for research, including the application of AI in dynamic resource allocation.
