OCLC 最近有一份新的報告[1],內容是去年對美國1300名圖書館員所做的調查,針對公共圖書館員部分,主要的發現如下:
- Are focusing their priorities on Internet access, demonstrating value to funders and delivering e-content
- Are concentrating on e-books as their top current initiative
- Rely mostly on listservs and email to stay current—while just a few use social media
- Opinions are split on the make-up of service points in the future
- The top priority for public library directors is demonstrating the library’s value to funders
詳細的數據及圖表請見該報告。比較令我訝異的是圖書館員主要仍以 listservs and email 來獲取圖資相關訊息,不曉得跟填問卷的人多數為資深館員沒有有關係?
更令我驚訝的是 Annoyed Librarian[2] 是受訪公共圖書館員最常看的部落格之一,不曉得跟它後來搬到 Library Jouranl 是否有關?
在台灣的話,我相信應該也是以 email為主,因為會看期刊的館員可能不多,也沒有多少圖資部落格,不過 Facebook上的訊息倒是不少。比較令我好奇的是,正在看本文的您平時獲取圖資相關訊息的管道為何? 如果您有不錯的訊息獲取管道,不妨也留言推薦一下吧 🙂
