以为改良之借鉴,以觇将来之陈迹——沈绍期早期图书馆思想与实践探析

An Exploration of Shen Shaoqi's Early Library Theories and Practices

被誉为"中国近代图书馆学教育之父"的沈绍期,通过发放和统计"全国图书馆调查表"的实证研究,在进行图书馆实践与探索的同时,也映射出他早期的图书馆思想:图书馆是社会教育的重要一环和学校教育的有益补充;西方国家图书馆事业兴旺发达、民众受益匪浅;中国古代藏书的性质及特点;图书馆是国民教育机构而不仅针对社会学者与知识精英;全国图书馆调查表的缘起及意义;中国图书馆界要堵塞漏卮、将事业发扬光大。

Shen Shaoqi,who was considered father of modern library science education in china,did an empiricalstudy by issuing National Library Survey Forms and making statistics work.This not only was his library practice andexploration,but also reflected his early library thoughts:libraries are an important part of social education and a usefulsupplement to school education;libraries in western countries prosper and benefit the people greatly;the nature andcharacteristics of ancient Chinese book collection are discussed;libraries are national education institutions as opposedto that exclusively for scholars and intellectuals;the origin and significances of the National Library Survey Form areexplored;and the Chinese library community ought to resolve problems and carry forward the cause.
