從讀者優先的觀點來談大學圖書館館藏發展政策的why , what 及how

館藏發展政策是一份載明圖書館任務與目標，館員工作責任與規範，讀者館藏利用與資源取得，館藏購入與淘汰，及其做為館內、館外溝通之工具，並且將之形諸文字的文件。大學圖書館因負有支援教學，配合研究與推廣學術三大使命，因此它的館藏發展政策之擬定更關係著大學本身學術的發展。大多數大學圖書館館藏發展政策都由館藏管理者（Collection Managers）制定，但是如果館藏管理者在制定館藏發展政策時沒有從讀者利用的角度來考量，那館藏發展政策的受益者之一：讀者（Library Users）是否還能從館藏發展政策中得到學術研究的好處？本文嘗試從讀者優先的觀點來探討大學圖書館館藏發展政策的why，what 及how。期望使讀者能在大學圖書館館藏發展政策中得到學術研究上最大的益處。

Collection Development Policy is a written document which state s clearly the mission and goal of a library, the responsibilities and work standards of a librarian, the access to library collections and resources for the readers, the acquisition and weeding of library collect ions and the communication tools for the library. University libraries have the three irreplaceable missions of supporting teachers, aiding research, and promoting academic study. Undoubtedly, collection development policy has a significant influence on university academic development. Most university library collection development policies are organized by collection managers. However, if collection managers don’t design these policies for the benefit of the readers, then academic research may suffer as a result. Thi s article discusses something about collection development policies of un iversity libraries on all aspects of why, what and how from the point of view of library users. It is hoped that t he collection development poli cy will also enable university library users to receive credits for academic research.
