全球化下圖書館資訊服務的變革與趨勢：以歐洲圖書館為例

Change and Trend of Library Information Service in the Era of Globalization: A Case Study of the European Library

歐洲圖書館（由歐洲地區45個國家圖書館合作組成）於2005年3月正式啟動首頁，開始供大眾使用。其特色為跨國界、語言、文化、地區的圖書館合作與資源整合架構，充分展現了一個所謂「全球化時代的圖書資訊服務」的原型與典範。其特點包含：以泛歐洲為一體、跨國合作、整合區域內國家圖書館資源、充分共建共享歐洲文化、提供超越時空限制的大型虛擬歐洲研究資訊服務系統。引領使用者進入全球化知識經濟時代，一個多元中心世界與全球互連互享關係。該圖書館系統，落實知識經濟時代的創造知識、累積知識、傳播知識及開創良好的知識運用環境等資訊服務模式，也協助個人或組織進行知識管理，進入網路社會與虛擬國家等情境，可作為洞察圖書資訊學未來發展的一個趨勢。

Initiating its website in March 2005, the European Library is a virtual library in collaboration with 45 national libraries across Europe, providing library services for international and multilingual users. With a global vision to integrate and share resources of European cultures and knowledge under the identity of the European Union, the European Library serves as a paradigm for the construction of the globally flowing library and information services. The European Library also provides a key to the circulation of the global knowledge economy and opens the portals to the multi-center globalization of the 21st century. This virtually formed library facilitates the creation, accumulation, and propagation of knowledge in the information age. The study of this new model in the global library service is expected to offer an insight into the future development of library and information sciences.
