Library science is a science that studies the occurrence, development, organization and management of libraries and the laws of library work. Its purpose is to summarize the practical experience of library work and library cause, establish a scientific theoretical system of library science, promote the development of library cause, and improve the position and role of library in the progress of human society.
Library science is a developing science. Modern library science combines scientific contents with various attributes. With the progress of society and science and technology, especially the increasing demand for information and document exchange, the research and application prospect of library science will be broader.
Next, you can say:
In my opinion, people regard library science as a scientific independent research, starting from modern times. Because library science was born on the basis of library work practice, before library science stood on its own feet in the forest of modern science, there had been experience and knowledge about document collection, collation, storage and utilization in history, which laid the foundation for the formation of library science.
From ancient times to the Middle Ages, the knowledge of library science was first accumulated on the basis of document sorting, especially on the basis of document cataloging.
An Overview of Ancient Library Science in China In ancient China, not only a relatively complete and systematic library management system was established, but also many unique library science ideas appeared correspondingly.
Research on Modern New Technology of Library We can regard literature and library as the achievements of technological progress. Especially the contemporary library, it is the product of the comprehensive application of many new technologies. The research on modern new technology of library includes exploring the ways and methods of the transition from manual operation to mechanization and automation, and realizing the automation of library work based on computer technology.
Finally, talk about the related disciplines and research methods of library science.
Library science does not exist in isolation. On the one hand, it overlaps with some disciplines in research objects and contents, and has the same ancestry and homology in historical origin, present situation and future development. On the other hand, library science uses the theories and methods of other disciplines to solve its own theoretical and practical problems, and there is an applied relationship between them.
China's early library work and archives work were closely combined. Archives science, like library science, can be traced back to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. This consanguineous relationship of historical development determines that the contents of library science and archival science are inextricably linked. In practical work, this connection is more obvious, such as the accumulation, arrangement, organization, utilization and preservation of books and archives, which have many similarities in theory and technical methods.
Information science is a new science, and it was not until 1930s and 1940s that papers devoted to information work appeared. Library science has prepared and provided a large number of practical materials, theoretical principles and working methods for information science, and made meaningful exploration and summary in many fields of information work, which has become one of the necessary conditions for the rapid development of information science. Because both information science and library science must study the source of literature information in theory and use it in practical work.
All the carriers of recording knowledge are documents. As one of the research objects of philology, literature work is actually the basic work content of libraries, archives and information centers, because the main object of these institutions' work is literature. Although they have their own characteristics in working procedures, working means and methods, they are also consistent in nature and objects, so the principles and methods of philology have important reference significance for library science, even for archival science, information science and bibliography.
In the library business, the first part of development and gradual improvement is cataloguing, from the collection, collation and processing of documents to publicity, recommendation, retrieval and utilization, every link should apply the knowledge of cataloguing and bibliography.
The core of library modernization is the computerization of library work. Any major research topic of contemporary library science needs to combine traditional library science theories and methods with modern computer technology.
In addition to the above subjects, economics, statistics, communication, history, linguistics, logic, etc. It is also a subject related to library science.
Research methods of library science Some common research methods in multidisciplinary research, such as observation, experiment, investigation, simulation, and analysis, comparison, classification, analogy, synthesis, abstraction, hypothesis, induction and deduction in logical thinking, have been applied in library science research. Among them, the survey method has been widely used in reader research, literature resources survey and many other aspects. The most commonly used methods in library science research are the analysis and synthesis of library practical experience and the method of philology.
In a word, the research of library science is developed on the basis of constantly absorbing various research methods. New scientific research methods will continue to emerge, and the research of library science will be more in-depth.
It's a little long I hope everyone will trim it again, cut the leaves and delete some unnecessary things! Wish you success!
