公共圖書館網路閱讀社群網站之功能分析與實作

Abstract

在台灣每個城市及鄉鎮都有文化中心或圖書館，根據2009年公共圖書館統計資料，目前全國已有多達364所公共圖書館，而公共圖書館的主要任務之一乃是推廣閱讀。 在數位化時代中，網路服務在閱讀推廣活動中應被受到重視。隨著網際網路應用的普及，Web 2.0概念崛起也已多年，大家已習慣在網路社群中彼此交流分享和協同合作，而網路閱讀社群乃值得圖書館界注意。 在國內只有少部分的公共圖書館有在經營網路閱讀社群；他們多數運用國內部落格平台建立及經營，像是在Yahoo奇摩部落格、Yam天空、Xuite日誌等平台。使用部落格平台經營網路閱讀社群會有許多不足的地方，例如缺乏書櫃的概念，或是無法追蹤閱讀的狀態等等。因此本研究希望能利用Web 2.0概念實作出一適用於國內公共圖書館的網路書櫃。 本研究主要目的為透過網路問卷方式分析網路閱讀社群網站之使用現況及需求，進而設計公共圖書館網路閱讀社群網站所需之功能，進而用內容管理開放原始碼軟體實作一適用於國內公共圖書館經營網路閱讀社群及閱讀推廣的「網路書櫃」實驗平台，期能藉由本研究所發展的平台，對公共圖書館在閱讀推廣上能有所助益。

Every city and town in Taiwan has cultural centers or public libraries; according to Year 2009 Statistics on Taiwan Public Libraries, currently Taiwan has 364 public libraries. Among the tasks of public libraries, reading promotion is one core task. In the digital era, the use of Internet service in reading promotion should be paid attention. With the popularity of Internet and Web 2.0, people have been accustomed to online community, through which resources and ideas are shared and exchanged. Furthermore, online reading community should be concerned by librarians. Only a small amount of Taiwan's public libraries have managed online reading communities. Most of them use platforms of blog service providers, such as Yahoo!Kimo Blog, Yam's Blog, Xuite and others. Those platforms have a lot of shortage in managing an online reading community, for example those platforms do not have the bookcase concept or can not track the status of reading. Therefore, this study will focus on the analysis and implementation of an online reading community website for Taiwan's public libraries. This study uses an online questionnaire to survey the use of online reading community websites. The website design concept will base on the survey result and literature review. Then, this study uses an open source content management system (CMS), WordPress, to implement the online reading community website, which is suitable for Taiwan's public libraries on reading promotion. It is expected that this website is beneficial for Taiwan's public libraries to develop their online reading communities and improve the climate of reading.
