论图书馆的公共精神培育功能和当代实践

Libraries’ Function of Cultivating Public Spirit and Contemporary Practice

公共精神是国家治理现代化的有效支撑,也是实现民主的必要条件。图书馆不仅是文化的产物,而且是民主的产物,在长期发展过程中形成的共享、人权、交流、教育等内在属性“内生”了公共精神培育功能。当前社会公共精神现状与国家治理现代化的需求不相匹配,而图书馆则以多样化的公共精神培育实践回应该需求。实践类型主要包括教育导向型、传播导向型、治理导向型、社区导向型,但实践的丰富度、科学性存在不足。面对时代赋予的责任,图书馆应推动以公共精神培育为价值追求的服务创新,将公民纳入图书馆治理体系,构建嵌入性的公共生活空间;图书馆学则应加强图书馆公共精神培育功能理论研究,致力于构建中国特色图书馆学话语体系。图1。参考文献64。

As the core demand of people’s modernization development,public spirit is an effective support for the modernization of national governance and a necessary condition for the realization of democracy.Libraries are not only products of culture but also products of democracy.From the global perspective,the emergence and development of libraries were both benefited from social individuals with public spirit,and libraries worldwide have a rich history of cultivating public spirit.The cultivation of public spirit has been regarded as the background of the system in the librarianship of different countries,and library science theory also takes the cultivation of civilized morality including public spirit as the function of libraries.The reason behind this lies in the fact that the internal attributes such as sharing,human rights,communication and education formed in the long-term development of libraries are“endogenous”to the public spirit cultivation function of libraries.Among them,the“sharing”attribute is the“publicity”gene throughout the development history of libraries,and the“human rights”attribute is the conceptual source of the public spirit cultivation function of libraries.The“communication”attribute is the practical form of the public spirit cultivation function of libraries,and the“education”attribute is the social path for libraries to implement the public spirit cultivation.There is a mismatch between the current situation of social public spirit and the requirements of modernization of national governance.However,the libraries in China have formed various practice paths in recent years.This study divides the relevant practice into education-oriented,communication-oriented,governance-oriented and community-oriented from the two dimensions of method and object.Moreover,related practice is undergoing integration and transformation,including the transformation from“education-oriented”to“governance-oriented”,from“community-oriented”to“communication-oriented”,from“communication-oriented”to“community-oriented”,and from“education-oriented”to“community-oriented”.Nevertheless,there are some deficiencies in the enrichment and scientificity of the cultivation of library public spirit in our country,including the unclear value orientation of public spirit cultivation,the failure to establish a quality management system centered on public spirit cultivation,and the lack of library-society interaction linked by the function of public spirit cultivation.The study holds that libraries should adopt the following development paths:promoting service innovation with the value pursuit of cultivating public spirit and bringing citizens into the library governance system;letting the public become the library governance system and the substantive participant of the library;building an embedded public living space and deepening the“people-centered”library transformation.Also,library science should develop the theory of library public spirit cultivation function and study the transformation path of personal merit and public merit.1 fig.64 refs.
