重新定义图书馆

Redefining the Library

随着图书馆的发展,特别是信息环境与社会环境对图书馆的深刻影响,关于图书馆的认识发生巨大的改变,由此引发对图书馆的重新定义。对图书馆的界定是随着三代图书馆模式的进化而不断发展的,基于文献的图书馆认识升华为基于信息的图书馆认识,"图书馆是什么"成为哲学命题。一方面,对图书馆的文化观讨论和知识观讨论得到进一步加强,另一方面,图书馆从强化组织和中心的概念发展为强化场所与空间的概念,促使图书馆成为一种更为复杂的社会有机体。

With the development of library, especially a profound impact of information environment and social environment on it, great changes have taken place in terms of the understanding of library, which led to the re - definition of it. The definition of library develops with the evolution of three generations of library mode, and library has evolved from literature - based to in- formation- based. ＂What is library？＂ has become a philosophical proposition. On the one hand, discussions on the cultural view and knowledge view of library have been further strengthened; on the other hand, the library has developed from strengthening the concept of organization and center into strengthening the concept of place and space, which enables library to become a more complex social organism.
