New China’s Local Records Informatization in Retrospect:Problems and Suggestions

新中国地方志信息化建设经过20多年的发展,经历了个别尝试、全面起步、快速发展、全国统一规划和全面繁荣4个历史阶段,从无到有,从弱到强,从局部到全国,不仅开发了新的方志载体和传播方式,拓展了读志用志的途径,也改变了传统的志书编纂模式,取得了很好的社会效果,但也存在着一些问题。既有文献对此未能充分探讨,本文试图全面探讨新中国地方志信息化建设的历史及存在问题,并提出对策建议,认为高标准、高起点地建立国家数字方志馆,统一地情数据库建设的技术标准和建设规范,提高志书保密、数字版权保护的意识与技术水平,力求新媒体推送内容的高质量和推送形式的多样化,加速信息化人才的引进和培养,是推进全国地方志信息化建设可持续发展的有效办法。

New China’s local records informatization has gone through more than twenty years. The process witnessed four historical phases: pilot projects,overall initiation,rapid development,and national planning and comprehensive prosperity. The informatization process started from scratch, gathered strength and extended from some local scale to national scale. It not only developed new local records carriers and communication methods, broadening access to local records, but also changed their compilation modes,achieving positive social effects. Meanwhile,there also arose problems which have seldom been touched upon in existing literature. Therefore,this article attempts to comprehensively discuss New China’s local records informatization history and existing problems,and to make policy suggestions. This article proposes that the following are effective methods to push forward the sustainable development of national local records informatization: to build a high-standard and high-starting-point national digital local records museum,to consolidate the technical criteria and constructive standards of local information database,to raise the consciousness and technical levels of local records confidentiality and digital copyright protection,to improve the quality of push service of new media content and diversify push methods,and to speed up the introduction and training of informatization talents.
