西方目录学课程实践及其对中国目录学教育启示——以谭瑟勒的《目录学概论》课程为例

Teaching Research of Western Bibliography——A Case Study of“Introduction to Bibliography”at Columbia University

文章以哥伦比亚大学谭瑟勒教授的《目录学概论》课程为案例,分析了西方目录学课程的思路和实践,试图以此为中国目录学教育的发展提供启示。研究发现该课程的主要经验包括:以分析目录学为重点教学内容,重视实践中可操作的方法技术,课程体系暗合目录学发展历史,为学习研究提供丰富参考文献。基于此,文章对目录学教育提出了三个建议:汇集多方力量,完善目录学教学框架体系建设;重视书目实践,重建目录学教育与实践的联系;重新寻找定位,关注目录学对传统文化的价值。
