社區資訊學：圖書館促進社區發展

Community Informatics: Library Facilitating Community Development

新圖書館學走向社會，希望用知識創新幫助社區發展。社區與圖書館關係變得更緊密，圖書館員的使命以社區為中心幫助改變社區。本文關注社區導向的圖書館事業的最新發展，闡述了社區參與的基本概念，包括欣賞式探究、基於資產的社區發展和集體影響。這些概念在美國政府補助的一項計畫「德克薩斯州鄉鎮圖書館轉型社區定錨計畫」（TLCART）中實踐，並得到美國博物館與圖書館服務研究院的經費支持。本論文探討TLCART計畫及其應用個案，詮釋圖書館在社區資訊學中發展，最後總結對圖書資訊學實踐和圖書資訊學教育的潛在影響。

The new library science is moving towards the community, hoping to help its development through knowledge innovation. The relationship between the community and the library has become closer, and the librarians' mission is to help change the community through community-centered approaches. The mission of librarians is anchored and centered in the community. Focusing on latest developments in community-oriented librarianship, the article addresses the basic concepts of community engagement including appreciative inquiry, asset-based community development, and collective impact. These concepts are put into practice in a U.S. government-funded program, Transforming Libraries into Community Anchors in Rural Texas (TLCART), with grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This paper explores the TLCART program and its application cases, elaborates the development of libraries in community informatics, and concludes with a summary of the potential impact on library informatics practice as well as library informatics education.
