民国时期图书馆学者的数量及地域分布

Study on Regional Distribution of Library Scholars in the Republic Period

收集、整理民国时期个人、机构对图书馆数量的历次调查统计,以及中华图书馆协会留下的会员统计表,对民国时期的图书馆数量、图书馆员人数、图书馆学者的群体规模及地域分布等进行统计分析,发现图书馆学者的区域分布严重失衡,这种失衡受到经济、政治、文化、教育等因素的影响。民国时期的图书馆学者群体曾通过提案,影响国家决策,使全国图书馆区域分布失衡的状况有所改善;也有个别学者以个人魅力凝聚同行,带动一方图书馆事业的发展;历史经验表明,国家调控是平衡图书馆和图书馆学者群体分布失衡的必要手段。

Statistically analyzing the libraries in the Republic Period found that the distribution of the library scholars was seriously unbalanced between the regions of the east and the west. The unbalancing was influenced by the factors including economy, politics, culture, and education. The influence of the library professionals on the national policy helps to improve the unbalance. The cohesive power of the famous library scholars could promote the development of the library cause of the local area. National regulation is the important way to balance the distribution of the libraries and library scholars.
