数字公共产品议题中的公共图书馆使命

Mission of Public Libraries in the Issue of Digital Public Goods

数字公共产品是公共产品发展到数字时代的产物,是全球实现可持续发展的关键要素之一,而公共图书馆更是其发展的“核心支柱”。文章对数字公共产品议题进行梳理阐释,从应然使命、实然践行、使然向路三方面探讨公共图书馆在数字公共产品议题中的时代使命,揭示公共图书馆对数字公共产品理论创新与实践发展的建构性价值。结果表明,尽管公共图书馆一直积极参与开放实践,但在数字公共产品议题中还存在角色边缘化、介入性不足等问题。因此,要实现数字公共产品与公共图书馆的相互助益,公共图书馆既需要把握数字公共产品的发展契机,也需要明确自身使命,彰显图书馆的担当作为。

Digital public goods are the product of the development of public goods into the digital age.They are one of the key elements in achieving sustainable development around the world,and public libraries are the"core pillar"of their development.The article sorts out and explains the issues of digital public products,discusses the contemporary mission of public libraries in the issues of digital public products from three aspects:the supposed mission,actual practice,and the way forward,and reveals the constructive value of public libraries to the theoretical innovation and practical development of digital public products.The results show that although public libraries have been actively participating in the open practices,there are stil problems such as marginalized roles and insufficient involvement in the issue of digital public goods.Therefore,in order to realize the mutual benefit between digital public products and public libraries,public libraries need to seize the development opportunities of digital public products,and also need to clarify their own mission and demonstrate the library's responsibilities.
