数字图书馆的生态体系发展趋势

Development Trends of Digital Library Ecological System

采用信息生态的概念对数字图书馆和信息使用服务的演化及影响进行分析,并从体系设置的角度,探讨数字图书馆的社会子系统功能及其设计的社会知识转移功能。目前得出的前景蓝图是个复杂巨大的技术转移过程;信息生态观可用于降低这种复杂性。在数字化趋势影响信息生态方面,数字图书馆的演变作为主要研究对象之一,有几个值得注意的动态过程或部分:知识创造-新兴领域萌生;商业渠道-数字融合与保存;系统图书馆功能-技术标准化的确立和从文件到数据世界;管理图书馆功能-信息的国际部门分工合作与竞争;外包服务机构-转变物理信息单位的邻近服务;人际界面-以人为本;疑难问题和知识沟。

By adopting the concept of information ecology, the present article tries to analyze the evolution and impact of digital libraries and information services. Also, from the angle of system settings, it focuses on the functions of the digital library as a social subsystem and its function of social knowledge transference. The concept of information ecology is used to reduce the complexity of the present technological transferring process. In the era when the digital trend affects information ecology, the evolution of digital libraries is one of the main research objects and there are several note-worthy dynamic processes or parts： knowledge creation - - - the initiation of emerging fields ; commercial channels - - - digital convergence and preser- vation; system library functions - - -technological standardization and transition from docu- ments to data; managerial library functions - - - collaboration and competition among interna- tional information divisions; outsourcing services - - - transformation of the physical informa- tion units toward the provision of proximity services ; human interface - - - the people-oriented idea; problems and the knowledge gap.
