報紙資料庫在圖書館所扮演的角色

Abstract

圖書館為謀求報紙的有效保存與利用，因而有合訂本、縮印本、縮影與剪報的製作，而現今利用報紙全文資料庫結合報紙檢索、保存與提供電子剪報服務的功能，似乎成為報紙資料處理的救星。因此圖書館要結合各種報紙資料庫的長處，根據其收錄內容的不足，配合其他保存報紙資料的媒體蒐集；同時集合圖書館界的力量，儘速解決報紙編目的困擾外，也要將其他不具有商業利潤的報紙資料，分工採訪保存、編製索引與聯合目錄，才能建立完整的報紙資料服務網。

For the efffective storage and utilization of the newspaper collections, the libraries have made available the bound, editions, micro-opaque, microfiches and clippings of newspapers. With the newspaper full-text databases set up now, there is a revival of the management of newspaper data with the combined functions of retrieval, storage and electronic clipping supply service. Therefore, the libraries must make use of all advantages of various newspaper databases to find out the inadequacy of their own collections and cope with collections of other newspaper data media to avoid overlapping and make collections complete. Moreover, joint efforts in the library world should be solicited to quickly solve the difficulties in newspaper cataloging and separately access, keep and make indexes and union catalogs for those non-profit newspaper data so that an integrated newspaper data service network can be established accordingly.
