| Abstract: |
Concerning the problem of the lack of reading for the residents in Chinese rural areas,the existing studies mainly focus on developing rural reading facilities and improving the service models in use.Nevertheless,the problems,which arise from the fundamental characteristics of the rural residents (predominately farmers),have not been sufficiently studied.This paper reports on a research study,which aims to address these problems through a survey of 51 ethnic minority villages along the Nenjiang River.The survey reveals several significant problems:firstly,even though reading is valued as important,reading in reality is insufficient; secondly,the reading facilities are ineffectively and inadequately used,despite evident demands of reading; thirdly,whilst advising and expecting others to read,there is a general lack of motivation for self-reading; and finally,the effects of reading facility development have not been satisfactorily manifested,albeit government investments and funding are actively and frequently requested and acquired.
Due to a lack of unity between the existing theory and the practice in reality,many fragmented and even erroneous understandings have in fact resulted in a number of biases and mistakes in the development of rural reading facilities,services and in research investigations.Firstly it is inappropriate to conceptualise the awareness of the value of reading as reading demands.It is also incorrect to hypothesise that a greater awareness of reading value indicates higher demands for reading.Secondly,it is inappropriate to accuse that there is a significant lack of investment on rural reading development and that social resources are unevenly and unfairly distributed,Thirdly,it is inappropriate to criticise that there is an absence of service motivation in libraries.Fouthly,it is inappropriate to blindly determine that reinforcing reading assistance provision is the only approach to promote actual reading.
In this truth,rural reading facilities have been repetitively invested and renovated.It is the quality of reading services has been consistently increased.It is the,the lack of reading has not been effectively mitigated and resolved.this study,the problems of insufficient reading in rural areas are explored from the very root.Specifically,this study aims to gain understandings through investigating rural residents.It is identified that the most significant problem emerged is the substantially large number of rural residents who have reading difficulties.Moreover,the study points out that breaking reading barriers are the key resolving strategies.From the perspective of library science theory development,this study reveals the complexity of implementing and encouraging reading among rural residents,who not only have distinctive and multiple layers of reading requirements,but also are proven difficult to engage in in-depth reading processes.This finding indicates that it is critical to provide personalized and specialized reading services.Based on the analysis,useful implications to the establishment of innovative services are articulated.Furthermore,this paper extends and contributes to the existing theories,understandings and practices of library reading services and rural library development.Moreover,this study identifies special and unique reading characteristics and behaviours of rural residents.In this study,two main problems were identified and confirmed,namely,subjective selective reading,and non-reading.These results are particularly valuable to improve the current service delivery approaches and to the provision of specialised services.
However,due to the survey focused on the rural ethnic minority regions,the survey findings are limited by the selection of research sample.Moreover,this paper does not provide any specific suggestions and strategies to improve the reading rate in rural areas,which require and can be articulated in future works.Finally,more research attentions should be provided to the lack of reading in rural areas. 7 tabs. 42 refs.

| 对于农村居民阅读少问题的研究,学界多偏重于农村阅读设施建设和服务模式等方面,关注农民自身的研究成果较少。笔者通过实地考察、现场问卷调查和家庭走访等方式,对嫩江流域51个民族村的阅读设施建设和居民的阅读情况进行调查,发现当前农村阅读中的突出问题是,认为阅读重要的人多而阅读的人少,争取阅读援助的人多而利用阅读设施的人少。这一现象误导了农村阅读设施反复投入和建设,并导致图书馆服务和研究进入误区。农村居民阅读少问题的根源在于农民阅读需求的复杂性。农村阅读中问题最多的是困难群体遭遇的各种障碍；其中难度最大的,是农民阅读需求的贫困与阅读行为的障碍。研究农村居民阅读认知和阅读行动的状况,对于图书馆抓住农村阅读服务关键,改善阅读服务途径和完善服务目标具有重要意义。表7。参考文献42。 |
