我国基层公共图书馆阅读服务供给效率测度研究——基于县市级公共图书馆面板数据的分析

Study on the Efficiency Measurement of Reading Service Supply in Basic Level Libraries in China:Based on Analysis of Panel Data of County and Municipal Public Libraries

借助因子分析和DEA-Malmquist指数模型,利用2012—2022年《中国文化文物和旅游统计年鉴》中县市级公共图书馆省域面板数据进行阅读服务供给效率测度并分析其动态变化和动力因素,结果显示:我国县市级公共图书馆阅读服务供给效率普遍提升但增长较为滞缓,其增长得益于技术进步而受制于综合技术效率降低,且不同区域的供给效率变化情况呈现明显差异。为打破效率增长阻滞,我国基层公共图书馆应从以下三个方面进行优化:加速阅读服务技术融合,兼顾供需两侧管理模式转变;强化阅读服务效率评估,促进财政资源区域间精准配给;针对性优化区域差异,谋求东中西阅读供给效率均衡发展。

Using factor analysis and the DEA Malmquist index model,the provincial panel data of county and municipal public libraries from the 2012-2022 China Cultural Relics and Tourism Statistical Yearbook were used to measure the efficiency of reading service supply and analyze its dynamic changes and driving factors.The results showed that the efficiency of reading service supply in county and municipal public libraries in China has general y improved,but the growth is relatively slow.Its growth is due to technological progress but is constrained by a decrease in comprehensive technological efficiency,and the changes in supply efficiency in different regions show significant differences.To break the barrier of efficiency growth,optimization should be made from the following three aspects:accelerating the integration of reading service technology and balancing the transformation of management models on both supply and demand sides;strengthening the efficiency evaluation of reading services and promoting precise allocation of financial resources between regions;optimizing regional differences and seeking balanced development of reading supply in the East,Central,and West regions.
