我對國家圖書館的一些期望

A Few Prospects Regarding National Central Library

本文為作者於國家圖書館八十周年館慶之際，應邀書寫他長期以來對於國圖發展的感觸，並就以下議題，提出看法與建議：1.國立故宮博物院應歸還其代管之國立北平圖書館善本古籍予國家圖書館；2.國家圖書館應聯合世界各國重要圖書館，編製中文古籍聯合目錄，使學者能透過書目，進而研究存世古籍。另外，針對圖書館界的期望，作者也建議教育部應設置「圖書館事業總署」，由國家圖書館館長兼任署長，且擇地提供國圖建造新館。最後，國圖應邀請各國國家圖書館館長召開國際會議，參考各館經驗，以作為館務改進、創新與發展之參考

This paper is the author's response to an invitation, in conjunction with National Central Library's (NCL) 80th Anniversary Celebration, to write his impressions of NCL's development over the last few decades. Observations and suggestions are given in the following order: 1. The National Palace Museum should bequeath the rare books it has been taking care of on behalf of the now-defunct National Peking Library to NCL; 2. NCL should bring together important libraries throughout the world to co-create a union catalog of Chinese rare books so that scholars can use this catalog to research the extant books. 3. Regarding expectations in the field of library and information science, the author suggests that the Ministry of Education establish a main library administration office, and that NCL's Director-general should also function as the director of this office. In addition, a new library should be built in conjunction with this. 4. NCL should invite the directors of other national libraries to congregate for an international meeting, wherein the experience of each national library is made available for reference in improving library services and operations, as well as new innovations and development.
