20世纪早期的两部图书馆学著述

Two Works of Library Science in the Early Twentieth Century in China

20世纪初期,在晚清的两种刊物上先后连载了两部图书馆学著述,一部是王国维翻译的《世界图书馆小史》,另一部是孙毓修著述的《图书馆》,但是这两部著述的学术价值并未得到充分的揭示。《世界图书馆小史》对外国图书馆历史进行了最早的系统介绍,把中国学习国外图书馆制度的历史提早了一个阶段,是"中国图书馆学术书籍之滥觞"。《图书馆》被视为一部具有完整体系结构的著述,被定位为"中国第一部系统的图书馆学著述"。

In the early twentieth century in China, two works of library science were serialized on journals of the latter part of the Qing Dynasty. One is A Brief History of the World Library translated by Wang Guowei, the other is Library written by Sun Yuxiu. But the academic achievement of them was underestimated. A Brief History of the World Library is the first work that introduces the history of librades systematically in other countdes and marks the earlier beginning of learning library system from oversea in China, so it is taken as the beginning of library academic book in China. Similarly, Library is looked as a book on library science with an intact structure and system, is regarded as the first systematic work of library science in China.
