臺灣圖書館學教育史

Historical Study on Education for Library Science in Taiwan

臺灣的圖書館學正規教育始於1955年臺灣師範大學社會教育學系設立的圖書館學組，如今發展成大學部、碩士班、博士班完整教育體系以及在職專班等多元學程。目前有10所學校，包括大學部6系，碩士班8所、博士班1所。臺灣圖書館學教育發展大致分為三階段：成長時期(1954-1979年)；發展時期(1980-1992年)；轉型與提升時期（1993年－－迄今）。本研究以圖書館學正規教育為主軸，蒐集10所圖書館學校，涵蓋大學部與研究所，從1955年迄今，陳述主要發展歷史。從社會、科技、經濟、政治、教育層面綜合分析，最後歸納出九項影響發展的因素，以解釋臺灣圖書館學教育本質與特色。希望重建過去，並作為未來發展的指引與借鑑。

Since commencing in 1955 from the foundation of the Division of Library Science in the Department of Social Education, National Taiwan Normal University, the formal education of library science in Taiwan has presently developed into an integrated educational system in the undergraduate, MA, and PhD studies as well as multiple study programs for in-service training. At present, there are six departments, eight MA programs, and one PhD program in ten universities focusing on the study of library science. The development of library education in Taiwan could be roughly divided into three phases: the phase of growth (1954-1979), the phase of development (1980-1992), and the phase of transformation and advancement (from 1993 until the present time). This study concentrates on the formal education of library science in Taiwan, expecting to describe the history of the main development of library education since 1955 by means of an analysis of the collected materials related to the formal educational systems and programs offered in the ten universities. An integrated analysis will be given, covering the social, technological, economic, political, and educational aspects, to organize and reveal nine factors that influence the development of library education in Taiwan. The analysis may serve to explicate the essence and characteristics of library education in Taiwan. Through the analysis, this study expects to outline the past historical development and influence, which may provide direction and reference for the future development of library education.
