美国公共图书馆儿童主题推荐书目研究

Research on Children’s Thematic Recommended Bibliography in Public Libraries in the United States

选取美国10家公共图书馆,调研其儿童主题推荐书目,发现其儿童主题推荐书目包括多元民族与文化、节日与纪念日、儿童心理健康及性格培养、性别认同等主题,具有主题丰富、细分方式灵活、体量不大、重视双语推荐等突出特点。结合对我国10家公共图书馆的调研和分析指出,我国儿童主题书目总体数量偏少、主题不够丰富,但亦有自身优势,今后应通过制定更丰富多样的主题推荐书目来推动儿童阅读发展。

Taking 10 public libraries in the United States as the research objects,this paper investigates children’s thematic recommended bibliography,summarizes the most common themes,including multiple ethnic and culture,festivals and anniversaries,children’s mental health and character training,gender identity,etc.,and refines the prominent characteristics such as rich themes,flexible subdivision methods,relatively small volumes,multilingual recommendation and so on.Meanwhile,a brief comparison is made between the United States and China based on investigating 10 public libraries in China,and it’s found that the overall number of children’s thematic bibliographies in China is relatively small and the themes are not rich enough,but there are also some advantages.It is pointed out that domestic children’s libraries should continue to promote children’s reading by formulating richer and diversified thematic recommended bibliographies.
