图书馆文献编目业务外包的现状审视及其发展前景蠡测

On the Status and Prospect of Cataloguing Subcontract in the Library

在社会化力量强势介入图书馆业务流程的时代背景下,与图书馆其他业务迅速开始了外包化进程的趋势相比,编目的业务外包发展略显缓慢。原因在于:编目流程的高度专业化成为社会力量取代原有编目主体的最大阻力。相比较而言,目前编目外包市场的混乱无序,也使之无力肩负起完全改变现有编目模式的使命。在可预见的未来,只有在图书馆与外包服务商的共同协作下,改变旧有思想,始有可能迎来编目主体变革的全新时代。

In the context of the strong social forces involved in the library business process, the library＇s other business rapidly begin the trend of business outsourcing process.Meanwhile, the development of cataloging business out-sourcing is slowly. The reason is that the cataloging process is too professional and specialized to bereplaced by the social forces. In comparison, the current cataloging outsourcing market is in astate of disorder. It has not got the ability to take agreat mission of changing the way of cataloging completely. In the foreseeable future, only when changing the old idea under their mutual cooperation, can the library open a new era of cataloging subject changing.
