圖書資訊學教育指南

國內高等教育正進行大學評鑑，圖書資訊學教育指南是教育的基礎與評鑑的依據，十分重要，亟待研究。本研究旨在建構臺灣的圖書資訊學教育指南，首先蒐集國際與英美等國之圖書資訊學教育標準與指南，以及我國相關研究，利用內容分析法研訂臺灣圖書資訊學教育指南芻議；再進行焦點團體法研究。焦點團體訪談會共舉辦四場，分別邀請圖書資訊學系所教師、圖書資訊學系所主任、圖書館館員、與圖書資訊學研究生參與討論圖書資訊學教育指南之要件與內涵共識。本研究最後建構圖書資訊學教育指南，其內容涵蓋圖書資訊學定義與範圍、教育任務與目標、課程、教師團隊、學生、行政管理、教學資源與設施等7大項，27小項，40個分項指標；本指南適用範圍涵蓋大學部、研究所（碩士班、博士班）、專業學程與繼續教育。本指南經中華圖書資訊學教育學會2008年年會討論獲得通過並公佈實施。

The Library and Information Science Education Guidelines play an important role in outlining the criteria for evaluating higher education in Taiwan. This study focuses on the development of those Guidelines. Having first assessed the relevant research in this area, we collected library and information science education standards and guidelines currently used in the U.K. and the U.S.A. The content analysis method was then used to draft the Preliminary Guidelines for Library and Information Science Educational Programs in Taiwan. Four focus group interviews were conducted to obtain a consensus on the key elements and content of the Guidelines. Participants of these interviews came from four target groups of Guidelines, namely, teachers in library and information science departments, directors of library and information science departments, librarians, and graduate students from library and information science graduate institutes. The final Guidelines covered seven categories: the definition and scope of the discipline of library and information science, the task and objectives of the discipline, curriculum, faculty, students, administration, teaching resources and facilities. Under the seven categories were 27 items and 40 indexes. Approved by the 2008 Annual Conference of the Chinese Association of Library and Information Science Education, these Guidelines are applicable to universities, graduate institutes, degree programs, and continuing education departments in Taiwan.
