中文摘要:
      图书馆技术应用是新时代图书馆学理论研究需要更多关注的现实问题。文章结合图书馆技术史与哲学理论,选取近年来的代表性实践案例,抽绎出图书馆技术应用的五项基本原则:技术是手段而人是目的,技术服务于图书馆的社会使命与功能,技术应用以满足用户需求和提升服务效能为导向,技术应用要符合现代图书馆职业理念,技术应用应当增强而非削弱图书馆员的专业性。这五项原则可为图书馆新技术采纳、建设以人为中心的现代图书馆提供方向导引和实践参考,提升其在AI时代的技术驾驭力,而非成为“机器幽灵”的臣服者。技术进步或将促使未来图书馆职业向非技术性的“书”与“人”两大层面转移,推动图书馆向人文性机构的本质回归,这或许是图书馆员避免被AI取代的必由之路。参考文献47。
英文摘要:
In terms of the theoretical research in library science in the new era,technology application in libraries is a topic that demands more attention. Drawing on the history of library technology,philosophical theories,and recent practical cases,this article distills five fundamental principles for the application of technology in libraries.
The first principle holds that technology is merely a means,while the human is the end. Technology application in libraries should therefore be human centered. Technical anxiety stems from an excessive reverence for technology itself. The emphasis on human subjectivity and centrality helps demystify technology. The second principle states that technology should serve the social mission and functions of libraries. Microfilm technology is a successful example of such an application. This principle helps alleviate,or even eliminate,the tension between the public welfare nature of libraries and the profit driven motives of commercial entities. Deviating from this principle may prompt libraries to seek alternative means to fulfill the functions of knowledge preservation and access. The third principle emphasizes that technology application should be guided by users demands and enhance service efficiency. Libraries must consider both time and economic costs,while they must be careful about the limits and boundaries of technology to prevent alienation. The fourth principle asserts that technology application should align with the professional ethics of the modern library. The application of technology in libraries should adhere to the principle of “goodness” in order to transform technology and systems into “moral machines for libraries”. To achieve this,a process of professionalizing machines,centered on the transformation of library ethics and values,is necessary. The fifth principle maintains that technology application should enhance,rather than diminish,the professionalism of librarians. As technology renders certain services obsolete,new opportunities emerge. This necessitates that librarians cultivate a habit of lifelong learning and continuously develop new professional competencies.
These five principles offer directional guidance and practical reference for libraries to adopt new technologies and construct a people centered modern library,thereby enhancing their technological agency and control in the age of AI and avoiding subservience to the “genie of the machine”. Technological progress will probably lead the future librarians to pay more attention to the two non technical aspects of “book” and “patron”,and promote the return of the library to the essence of a humanistic institution,which may be the only way for the librarians to avoid being replaced by AI. 47 refs.
