廿一世紀的大學圖書館正面臨了規劃觀念上和發
展方式上必需調整的新挑戰。信息技術的快速更新
，不同以往的教學和學習方法，新的學術交流模式
，大幅度地改變了學術圖書館使用者對信息發現和
利用的方式和期望。
In the coming years, extraordinary changes in academic
libraries will be driven and required by changing
information technology, new approaches to learning and
teaching, new models for scholarly communication, as
well as new ways academic library users will discover and
make use of information along with their new expectations.

ACRL在“2013年學術圖書館環境掃描”提出一些初步建
議 。 我在這就該文最具影響的一些初步建議，加上本
人的建議和看法，分為下面幾個部份來說明。
-- 創新服務 Service Innovation
-- 創建合作空間 Creation of Collaborative Spaces
-- 移動環境策略 Strategies for Mobile Environment
-- 高專業化圖書館
Expert Library
-- 更新組織發展 Organizational Renewal
-- 激進式的合作 Radical Collaboration
創新服務
Service Innovation
學術圖書館應該避免簡單地維持現狀，重新
評估收集服務相關數據和圖書館決策的過程，
以利創新服務。
Academic libraries should re-evaluate their
service assessment processes to insure they
are gathering data and making decisions that
will innovate services and avoid simply
maintaining the status quo.
創新服務
Service Innovation
為了實施創新的服務模式，學術圖書館
應該持有承擔風險和寬容失敗的準備。
Academic libraries should take risks
and be tolerant of failure in
implementing new service models.
創新服務
Service Innovation
學術圖書館更應該審慎評估他們的
新舉措，確保服務和資源的創新水平。
Academic libraries should critically
evaluate the level of innovation
associated with their new initiatives,
services, and resources.
創新服務
Service Innovation
什麽算是好的創新? What is good innovation?
史坦福研究圖書館創新獎
Stanford Prize for Innovation in Research
Libraries (SPIRL)
該創新獎的評審是基於一個有效和可持續的創新方案
或項目 ， 創新的效果必須對該圖書館自己的使用者具有
可測量到的影響 ， 對其他研究圖書館有潛在的啓發示範
作用 。 “創新”不限定是信息技術上的改變或更新，
雖然為實現該方案，新信息技術可能會被使用到。
“Awards will be based on a single programmatic or
project undertaking and/or a sustained culture and
profile of encouraging effective and sustainable
innovation; the effect of such efforts must have
measurable impact on the library's own clientele as
well as the potential for influencing the practices
and/or standards of research librarianship generally.
The notion of “innovation” need not be inherently
about information technology, though it might be
assumed that such technology will be employed as
appropriate to achieve the programmatic ends of the
institution. “
創建合作空間
Creation of Collaborative Spaces
R. David Lankes 建議圖書館員和信息專業人員帶
頭走出傳統圖書館的觀點或比較狹隘圖書館的觀點，努
力創建有效的工作空間，來幫助讀者的協作，解決問題，
並有利於新想法新思維的產生。
R. David Lankes suggests librarians and
information professionals should take the lead in
heading off a narrower view of the future library and
begin creating and managing effective work spaces
for collaboration, problem solving, and idea
incubation.
創建合作空間
Creation of Collaborative Spaces
學術圖書館應積極與他們的用戶讀者溝
通，以確定和得知他們對空間的需求。
Academic libraries should proactively
engage with their users in order to
determine space needs and desires.
創建合作空間
Creation of Collaborative Spaces
圖書館應積極嘗試不同的方案和措施，
提供協作或解決問題的空間。
Academic libraries should actively
experiment
with
programs
and
initiatives offering collaborative or
problem-solving spaces.
創建合作空間
Creation of Collaborative Spaces
圖書館也應該繼續尋找與校園上其他
部門合作的機會，來創建更多新的協作空
間。
Academic libraries should continue
to look for opportunities to partner with
departments and groups on campus to
create collaborative spaces.

移動環境策略
Strategies for Mobile Environment
ACRL2013文件不僅討論了個人電腦設備
使用模式的變化和不斷增多的移動應用程序，
並指出 圖 書 館 更加需要多考慮設備的中立性和
利予移動電腦設備的資源。
ACRL’s 2013 document discusses usage
patterns, the growing marketplace, mobile
apps, and the resulting need for greater
considerations of device neutrality and
mobile-friendly resources.

依據IDC (International Data Corporation) 的報
導，全球移動設備，包括智能手機和平板電腦，2012年
的總出貨量(8.07億台)，比PC出貨量 (3.53億台) 多了
一倍以上。
PC的出貨量實際上從去年下降，這是自
2001年以來第一次發生的情形 。 IDC並指出 ， 2014 年
時智能手機出貨量預計將首次超過 10億台，標誌著智
能設備顯著上升的另一個里程碑。
Global shipments of mobile devices more than doubled
PC shipments last year.
Smartphones and tablets
combined for an estimated 807 million units shipped,
more than twice the 353 million PC units shipped.
Shipments of PCs, meanwhile, actually declined from last
year, the first time that has happened since 2001.
In
2014, smartphone shipments are expected to pass 1 billion
for the first time, marking another milestone in the
remarkable rise of smart devices.
移動環境策略
Strategies for Mobile Environment
為了更有效地支持移動登入獲取 (mobile access) 和移動學
習 (mobile learning)，我們新的移動戰略 (mobile strategies)
的目標不僅僅是要提供額外的切入點 (add-on access points)，
方便圖書館用戶使用資源，而且要方便那些完全依賴於移動設備的
用戶，接入互聯網獲取圖書館資源或其他資訊。
The changes reflected in the charts encourage us to think
deeper about library mobile users and do more for them. In
support of mobile access and mobile learning, the objective of
our new mobile strategy is not just to deliver add-on access
points for user convenience, but to facilitate access to library
resources for the growing number of library users who rely
exclusively on mobile device for Internet access.
移動環境策略
Strategies for Mobile Environment
-- 採取以證據為基礎的移動服務開發和實行
移動服務的開發需要探索和創新來驅動，但必須以證
據為基礎的方法來平衡 。 以證據為基礎 ， 是要專注了
解用戶的需求和行為，用這方面的了解和知識，來平衡
移動服務的發展，並客觀地評估開發的成功與否。
-- Adopt an evidence-based approach to mobile service
development and delivery
The mobile service development will be driven by exploration
and innovation but must be balanced by evidence-based
methodology, focused on understanding user needs and
behaviors, employing this knowledge to shape service
development, and objectively evaluating the success of the
development and service.
移動環境策略
Strategies for Mobile Environment
-- 創建學習機會
移動技術創建一個無處不在的學習環境，圖書館用戶
能夠隨時隨地地檢索獲取信息，來滿足他們的迫切需要
。移動服務應支持圖書館的學習政策。鼓勵圖書館用戶
有信心的檢索圖書館的館藏，繼續增長檢索信息的熟練
程度，加強移動學習的能力。
-- Create opportunities for learning
Mobile technologies create a ubiquitous learning environment
where users are able to retrieve information to fulfill their
immediate needs. Mobile services where applicable should
support the Library’s learning policy and empower users to
access the Library’s collections self-sufficiently, with
confidence, ease, and technical proficiency.
移動環境策略
Strategies for Mobile Environment
--擴大支持移動服務的舉措和加强所需的基礎設施或後端系統
這包括現有系統需要擴建的基礎設施 ， 和新建或尚未
建立的系統 。 這也包括圖書館內部的移動技術專業知識
，尤其是支持移動內容的收集必要的知識 。
-- Establish and expand the infrastructure and back-end systems
required to support mobile initiatives, products and services.
This includes both existing system infrastructure which requires
expansion and new systems yet to be established. This includes
in-house expertise and refers particularly to requisite support for
mobile content collection and preservation.
移動環境策略
Strategies for Mobile Environment
-- 建立和分享移動服務專業知識
圖書館不同的移動服務將會視情況和需要陸續開發並
推出，新的移動服務相關知識會陸續產生。協助移動服
務的開發評估可以指定給一個己經存在的圖書館委員會
，或指定給一個新的圖書館委員會，負責溝通，評估，
並建議圖書館移動服務相關的開發和政策。委員會也可
協助移動服務的相關培訓計劃和活動。
-- Build, consolidate and share expertise
Different mobile initiatives will emerge over times and new
mobile knowledge will be built. Mobile development can be
identified as a specific area of interest for an existing or a new
library committee, who will communicate, assess, and advise on
library mobile related development and policy. The Committee
can also support activities such as development of library mobile
service related training. Programs.
高專業化的圖書館
The Expert Library
ACRL 在2011年出版了 由 Scott Walter 和 Karen
Williams編撰的一本書，The Expert Library: Staffing,
Sustaining, and Advancing the Academic Library in
the 21st Century.
學術圖書館目前面臨重大變革之時，應該擁有或聘用
什麼樣的圖書館員工來服務或支持“校園極其關注”
的新領域，例如支援本科生的研究，資料庋用的策略，
知識產權管理和支持
e-Science / e-research？
Walter & Williams introduce the book by asking: in view of
the major changes that are taking place in academic libraries,
who should we be hiring to provide services in areas of 'critical
campus concern' such as undergraduate research, data curation
strategy, intellectual property management and supporting eScience or e-Research?
高專業化的圖書館
The Expert Library
“2013年學術圖書館環境掃描” 指出
對圖書館專業具有數據庋用管理 (data
curation) 能 力 ， 數 據 挖 掘 (data
mining)能力和分析能力人員的需求，將
不斷增長 。
The ACRL 2013 document: “There
will be a growing demand for library
professionals with data curation, data
mining, and analysis skills.”
高專業化的圖書館
The Expert Library
該文件進一步建議學術圖書館的管理層應蒐集研
究數據服務在他們校園上的需求，並試圖提供這方面的
服務。圖書館管理層應考慮資源的重新分配，並重組的
工作人員，以便在他們的校園上開始提供研究數據服務。
同時，圖書管理層應促進專業發展機會，鼓勵圖書館專
業人員發展數據庋用管理和數據挖掘方面的技能。
Academic library administration should gauge the demand
for research data services on their campuses and initiate
programs offering these services to their communities; consider
the reallocation of resources and reorganization of staff in order
to initiate research data services on their campuses; and should
promote professional development opportunities that encourage
the development of data curation and data mining skills.
高專業化的圖書館
The Expert Library
陳雪華博士 和 陳光華博士在他們新近出版的
“e-Research: 學術圖書館創新服務” 一書中，
有更全方位的建議。 他們提出學術圖書館發展
e-Research 服務的五項建議包括:
制定政策
與永續經營 ， 培訓館員與全體共識 ， 需求調查
與徵集順序 ， 資料組織與系統平臺 ， 合作模式
與發展策略。該書對這五項建議都有完整的說
明 。
更新圖書館組織發展
Organizational Renewal
不少學術圖書館組織發展沒有能跟上快
速的信息技術變革是一個不容輕忽的問題
。
A critical issue for academic libraries
is the necessity of organizational
development to catch up with
technological changes.
更新圖書館組織發展
Organizational Renewal
香港科技大學圖書館，在過去四年內作過幾次組織
上的調整。其中比較特殊的是將系統部
(Systems
Department) 擴大成系統和數字服務部 (Systems and
Digital Services Department) 。 擴大後的部門不僅
包括 Information Commons 和 Learning Commons 服
務單位在內，同時也包括了大學檔案和特藏組，以加强
和提升公共服務單位與系統支援部門的合作伙伴關係。
What has HKUST Library done to renew its
organization?
Among other changes, Systems Dept
was expanded to include IC and LC to enhance
working partnerships.
更新圖書館組織發展
Organizational Renewal
更新圖書館組織當然不容易，但組織發展能跟上快
速的信息技術變革和其他新挑戰是一個極其重要的課題
。如果任何圖書館覺得重組不易，還是暫時不作為上，
那讓我簡要地談一下哈佛大學圖書館最近改組，極其困
難但不得不作的一些情形，也許會有助于改變想法。
Reorganization is certainly not easy, but it is
essential to align the library structure adequately
with the changing environment.
The recent
difficult reorganization of the Harvard Library may
help change your mind.
激進式的合作
Radial Collaboration
圖書館很早就認識到圖書館合作的戰略需要。然而，
學術圖書館在新世紀所面臨的一項挑戰是要突破傳統的
合作方式 。實際上，學術圖書館在面臨各類挑戰之時，
有必要重新思考傳統的合作方式，是不少人的共識。這
樣的作法，已經被稱為激進式的合作，以超越一般的圖
書館合作倡議，大膽實驗創新的合作方式。
Librarians have long realized the need and have
frequently engage in library collaboration. The need to
rethink traditional methods of collaboration is increasingly
recognized in academic libraries. This bold charge has
come to be known as radical collaboration, and it
challenges libraries to go beyond traditional library
collaborative initiatives and to experiment new methods.
激進式的合作
Radial Collaboration
目前激進式的學術圖書館間合作和努力可
以分成三個主要方面的活動：（1） 技術服
務的整合;（2）大型區域性館藏庫的持續增
長; 及（3）館藏建設和資源共享。
Endeavors for radical collaboration in
academic libraries can be sorted into three
main areas of activities: (1) merging technical
services;
(2) continual growth of large
regional print repositories.; and (3) collection
building and resource sharing.
激進式的技術服務協作
Radical collaboration in technical services
Examples:
-- Orbis Cascade
-- OhioLINK
-- University of California system’s NextGeneration Technical Services (NGTS)
-- 2CUL (Cornell and Columbia University
Libraries)
協作建立大型跨區域的存儲庫
Radical Collaboration in Regional Print Repositories
Examples:
-- Orbis Cascade Alliance
-- Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium
-- Triangle Research Libraries Network
-- Greater Western Library Alliance
-- Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST)
激進式的館藏建設協作和資源共享
Radical Collaboration in Collection Building and
Resource Sharing
Examples:
-- HathiTrust
-- BorrowDirect
-- Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC)
-- JULAC – HKALL, RapidILL
結語
Concluding Remarks
學術圖書館必須追求館藏和服務發展的戰略思維，
以及具有創造性的作法。網絡和移動技術的持續發
展，高等教育全球化和競爭的加劇，以及有限的人
力物力和空間的綜合影響，將在不久的未來需要一
個相當不同的學術圖書館。在此重要的轉型期，學
術圖書館必需重視信息索取的新需要，移動技術的
創新應用，圖書館人力以及組織的更新，有效創建
更多學習合作空間。
The combined impact of information and mobile
technologies, the globalization of higher education, and
increased competition for resources and spaces will require a
rather different library in the academy in the coming decade.
結語
Concluding Remarks
透過不斷的戰略發展以及激進式的圖書館合作，未
來的學術圖書館，將會成為更具創業精神的資訊傳遞中
心，更廣泛的學術和研究信息服務提供者，更有效地支
援學術資訊的創建, 保存和使用。學術圖書館同時也會
成為校園上極其重要的學習新基點，以及校園上整合電
子資源使用和學習技術應用到教學工作的樞紐。
With these strategies, academic libraries will be more
effective in information management and delivery and in
the application of technology to information creation and
use, providing essential information services to broader
academic and research communities. Academic libraries
will also become campus hubs for learning and for the
integration of learning technology and digital resources
into academic learning and teaching.
Thank you!
