梁启超与《中国图书大辞典》

Liang Qichao and Thesaurus of Chinese Books

1927年1月开始着手的《中国图书大辞典》,是梁启超生前从事的最后一项大工程。此书之编纂,与1925年中华图书馆协会成立,梁启超提出"建设‘中国的图书馆学’"与"养成管理图书馆人才"的两大目标密切相关。借助其同时担任北京图书馆馆长、清华学校研究院国学门导师的双重身份,梁启超聚合学生,在原有的"四库"图书分类上,结合现代图书法作了若干新尝试。此书虽因梁氏1929年1月遽尔去世,未能完成,却已为日后中国的图书馆事业培养了急需人才,更造就了一些日后卓有成就的专门学者。其实践证明,从图书馆入手可以培养出优秀的人才。

Compiled since January 1927,Thesaurus of Chinese Books was the last great work of Liang Qichao. The compilation of this book was related with two aims: one was to construct Chinese library science,the other was to train the supervisors of libraries when the Chinese Libraries Association was founded in 1925. As the chief librarian of Beijing Library and the advisor of Chinese Traditional Culture Department of Tsinghua University,Liang Qichao,together with his students,made some new attempts based on the original sort of the Four Sections of Books. The work trained some qualified personnel for the development of Chinese libraries and some successful scholars,although it was not completed because Liang Qichao suddenly died in January 1929.
