摘要
数字时代,图书馆正在经历巨大的转变——由“图书资料储存库”变成“信息资源的通道”;由仅仅提供馆内服务发展到提供及时、广泛的虚拟状态下的信息服务。随着运作环境的改变,图书馆的综合实力,包括信息的获取能力及信息技术的运用将会变得格外重要。在这一前提下,笔者提出一个图书馆评估的新体系,包括以下6个方面的评估标准:①馆藏资源的数量和质量;②网络及数字化程度;③多元化的信息管理和服务;④全球范围内信息资源的获取和利用;⑤提供远距离学习和教育之环境;⑥馆员素质。
Traditionally, libraries were measured primarily by their collection sizes. In the digital age, such a parameter of measurement is increasingly blurred due to the fact that libraries today are being transformed from isolated 'warehouses of collections' to networked 'gateways of information', from providing only the 'in-place' services to providing broad 'in-time' virtual information services. As the operating environment is changing rapidly, libraries will be increasingly judged by a different set of measurements in addition to size and volume count. This article explores this new set of measurements, centering on the following six core parameters: 1) quantity and quality of resources,2) connectedness and digitalization,3) diversity in services,4) global information access,5) facilitation of distance education and learning,6) staff quality.
