社会认识层次论：一个图书馆情报学基础理论框架的检验

The Hierarchies of Social Epistemology: Constructing and Empirical Testing of a Basic Theoretical Framework for Library and Information Science

文章立足于图书馆职业实践,以谢拉所创立的社会认识论为基础,针对不同类型的记录(资源)与用户之间的匹配,构建社会认识层次论框架,并试图将其作为图书馆情报学的理论基础。以LISTA数据库的文献为语料,通过自然语言处理,应用聚类分析、基于CONCOR的子群分析和因子分析对理论框架进行检验,发现该理论框架与图书馆情报学的实际研究议题之间存在着明显的契合性。这一理论框架可望为图书馆情报学形成内在统一的解释逻辑提供有益启示。

Based on the analysis of professional practices of librarianship and the social epistemology theory formulated by Jesse Hauk Shera,this study aims to construct a theoretical framework for Library and Information Science.For the purpose of testing the reasonableness of the framework,it selects the academic papers from LISTA database and conducts a bunch of empirical studies via cluster analysis,subgroup identification based on the CONCOR arithmetic and factor analysis based on the Natural Language Processing.The results show thatthere is a strong agreement between the theoretical framework constructed in this paper and the actual research topics.Therefore,the theoretical framework is expected to provide useful inspiration for the formation of an internal unified interpretation logic in Library and Information Science.
