图书馆参与公共危机信息传播的契机和意义

The Turning Point and Significance of Libraries Participating in Public Crisis Information Dissemination

图书馆作为社会的一个信息服务机构,作为政府的一个公益性信息传播机构,可在危机信息传播中扮演重要角色,特别是《政府信息公开条例》的颁布,赋予了图书馆政府信息传播机构的法定职责,也奠定了图书馆公共危机信息传播的法理基础。图书馆参与公共危机信息传播的意义在于:是构建和谐社会的基本要求,保障了公众危机信息的知情权,是社区信息服务延伸的要求,弘扬了关心弱者、平等服务的图书馆精神。

As social information service institution and public welfare information dissemination agency of the Government, libraries can play an important role in the dissemination of crisis information. Especially, the promulgation of ＂The Decree of Government Information Openness＂ makes the library become the dissemination agency of government information and lay the legal basis for public crisis information dissemination of the library. The paper discusses the significance of libraries participating in public crisis information dissemination, which includes being the basic requirement of building harmonious society; protecting the public＇s right to know; being the demand for the extension of community information service; promoting the library spirit of caring the weak and providing equal service.
