從網路資源的選擇與評鑑問題探討學術圖書館的因應之道

Abstract

隨著網際網路的普及，圖書館員亦發現自身不管願意與否皆需投入這個混沌之網路環境中，同時，在加強網路資訊資源的價值上，圖書館員本身應扮演更為主動的角色。然而網路資源中經過審查的資料僅佔極少數，多數資源的新穎性、權威性與廣博性等方面皆令人質疑，可信的網路資源品質評估機制又很缺乏，學術圖書館員因此面臨資源選擇與評鑑方面的挑戰。本文利用文獻分析法對於網路資源特質、網路資源取得方式、網路資源選擇與評鑑相關問題、圖書館員與網路資源的選擇與評鑑、書目利用指導課程的因應等課題進行探討，以期提出相關討論與建議。

Libraries are finding themselves increasingly drawing into the chaotic Internet environment. The majority of information obtained from the Internet lacks currency, authority, and comprehensiveness. Only a handful of resources are refereed in any way. Unfortunately, there are few trusted mechanisms for assessing the quality of the Internet`s information resources. Academic librarians face many challenges in the Internet environment. This paper tries to discuss the characteristics of Internet resources; the access of Internet resources; problems with selecting and evaluating Internet resources; and the implications for bibliographic instruction librarians in acadmeic libraries.
