国内外读书会研究现状及展望

Research on Book Clubs at Home and Abroad: Status quo and Prospect

介绍读书会的由来、含义,从理论和现实两个层面探讨图书馆界研究读书会的意义,在此基础上对国内外读书会研究情况进行深入分析,认为国外和台湾地区关于读书会的研究比较成熟,国内关于读书会的研究相对薄弱。提出今后应该加强对读书会的本质及发展源流、读书会现状及其运作、读书会的社会功能及影响因素和读书会发展的引导扶助模式等诸问题的研究,并从研究范式的角度指出未来研究需注意多学科视角和多种研究方法的综合应用。

The article first explains where the book club originates and what it means and explores its significance from the theoretical and the practical angle. Then it makes an analy- sis of the research in this field, showing that the research abroad and in Taiwan on book clubs is quite developed while the research in Mainland has just begun. It continues to point out that more studies should be conducted on the nature, the history, the state of art, the val- ue and the development model of book clubs as well as the factors affecting them. Finally it argues that future research should be interdisplinary and multi-methods should be employed.
