对图书馆讲座若干范畴的思考

Thoughts on Categories of the Scopes of Library Seminars

图书馆讲座是一项重在操作的实践性工作,因此绝大多数相关研究往往着眼于某个图书馆讲座业务的历史回顾、经验总结或规划,而对于图书馆讲座的理论阐述极少且不甚全面与明确。这种理论研究薄弱的现状导致工作人员在实践中缺少标准与指导,工作具有很强的主观随意性。只有从理论分析入手,对图书馆讲座的概念、本质、特点、类型、功能、要素等范畴进行科学的界定,提炼出讲座的一般性规律和普遍性原则,才能为实践工作提供理论依据与参考,从而指导图书馆讲座业务的发展。

Library lecture is a practical activity which lay emphasis on operation. Thus most of relevant researches related to li- brary lecture are focused on retrospect of history, summary of experiences, or development planning, but rarely ex- position of theory which having few if any comprehensive, clear and definite. The current situation on weak theoret- ical research of library lecture lead to disastrous consequences that staffs lack standard and theoretic instruction in practice, and the specific operation is subjective and arbitrary. Only defining and classifying the concept, essence, feature, type, function and element of library lecture scientifically and refining the general rule and universal princi- ple can provide theoretical foundation and reference for actual practice, and direct the development of library lecture service.
