图书馆作为公共文化空间的价值

The Value of Library as the Public Culture Space

随着信息技术的发展,作为"工具"的图书馆正面临着严峻的挑战,然而作为公共文化空间的图书馆,却呈现无限生机。公共文化空间体现的是图书馆的价值理性,长期以来这种理性被忽视了,然而当今社会却迫切需要图书馆价值理性的回归。作为公共文化空间的图书馆具有平等性、公益性、开放性、人文性等文化特质,充分发挥图书馆作为公共文化空间的功能,需要重视图书馆作为"场所"的作用,重视开展各种读者活动,重视新技术在图书馆服务中的应用。

With the development of information technology,the library is faced with serious challenges as a tool,but the library presents infinite vitality as a public culture space.The public cultural space reflects the value rationality of library which is neglected for a long time,however now the society needs the regression of the library value rationality urgently.As a public cultural space,the library has the cultural characteristics such as equality,public welfare,openness,humanity,and gives full play to the functions of the public cultural space.It needs focus on the role of the library as a place,carrying out various activities of readers,and the applications of new technologies in library services.
