图书馆评估研究进展综述

Review on the Study of Library Evaluation

[目的 /意义]总结国内外图书馆评估研究现状,为我国图书馆评估理论研究与实践工作提供参考。[方法/过程]从评估基本理论、评估主体、评估内容、评估体系与指标、评估方法 5个方面对国内外图书馆评估研究进行全面梳理与评述,并提出图书馆评估未来发展方向。[结果 /结论]从研究内容看,国外评估主体多元化,国内评估主体单一;国外评估内容由绩效评估转向成效评估,而国内依然注重投入评估;国外评估方法呈现综合化趋势,国内则以定性方法为主;国外广泛采用国际标准进行评估,而国内评估指标缺乏标准化和规范化。从研究类型看,评估理论研究方面有大量关于引进国外评估方法和成功案例的介绍,而实践应用研究略显不足。

[Purpose / significance]This study aims to summarize the research status of library evaluation,and to provide the basis and thinking from the international research for Chinese research. [Method / process]This paper comprehensively reviewed the domestic and foreign library evaluation researches from fiveaspects including the basic theory,the individual assessment,the comprehensive assessment,the assessment system and index,the assessment method,and put forward the future development direction of library evaluation. [Result / conclusion]In terms of research contents,the foreign evaluation is diversified,while the domestic evaluation is unitary. The focus of the foreign evaluation changes from performance to effect,and the domestic evaluation emphasizes input. As for the evaluation method,it tends to be comprehensive abroad,but we still mainly use the qualitative method. Besides,the international standard is adopted in the foreign evaluation,but the domestic evaluation index lacks standards and regulation. From the perspective of research types,lots of descriptions of introducing foreign evaluation methods and successful cases appear in the aspect of evaluation theory research,but the practical applied research is not fully made.
