用後評估

影響圖書館建築發展的因素很多，能否為規劃設計者提供充份而適切的資訊（料）是其中重要的項目。目前國內有關圖書館建築方面的資料尚停留在提供基本資料的階段。換言之，國內尚缺乏以用後評估結果為主的參考性資料。用後評估資料是有系統的彙整圖書館的使用者（包括館員）對館舍中各種硬體設施的使用後意見。這些資料可以幫助設計者做成合乎需求與理想的決策，並為館員提供充份的資料以便與設計者講通。缺少了這類的資料，設計者較不易做成適切而合乎需求的決定，甚至重蹈前人的覆轍，浪費設計資源，阻礙了圖書館在建築發展上的進步。想要解決這些的問題，一方面應鼓勵相關的研究工作以發掘更多的資料，另一方面須促使研究資料的公開與交流，使圖書館界與建築界能充份的利用這些資料以互蒙其利從而提昇圖書館在硬體方面的品質與服務績效。

The insufficient information to designers for decision-making is one of the important factors which influenced the performance of facilities in libraries. Now, most information used in library design are still in the form of basic data as Building Standards. So, it is obviously that the lack of reference information as the results of Post-Occupancy Evaluation（POE）in library is so serious in design process. For lack of reference information these results will occur as designers will make more assumptions instead of decisions with real evidences, and they may make the same mistakes the other designer had done before in libraries. It will also waste the resources of design office and abstract the progression in library buildings . Two ways may solve the problems, one is to encourage researchers to find out more data and information in POE for designs & librarians, the other one is to offer more opportunities for researchers, scholars, and librarians to communicate with designers for the use and development of this kind information.
