臺灣地區公共圖書館自動化系統連結的模式，以縣市文化局(文化中心)與鄉鎮圖書館連結，共用一套系統運作為最主要的模式。此種模式自1996年開始推動建置以來，已經提供給縣市民眾一證通用、聯合書目館藏資料庫查詢等服務，部分縣市也開始進行館際互借、互還的準備作業，進一步利用共用系統所提供的功能。完成各縣市公共圖書館自動化系統的階段後，如何整合各縣市公共圖書館的自動化系統，提供跨系統資訊交換，促進不同縣市公共圖書館的館際合作事宜，以及擴大讀者跨縣市使用公共圖書館的館藏資源，是本研究進行的動機。 本研究的目的，在調查瞭解臺灣地區公共圖書館運用圖書館系統進行的狀況及館際間交流問題，蒐集歸納圖書館自動化系統對跨館際作業方面的功能、架構及相關標準之運用，分析不同跨系統整合模式的優、缺點及可行性，以建置臺灣地區公共圖書館自動化系統整合模式的作業方式，提供給公共圖書館、主管政府機關決策及廠商開發系統相關功能的參考。並引用其他資訊領域相關技術及概念，勾勒圖書館自動化系統未來的發展方向及建議。 本研究採用文獻分析、問卷調查及資訊系統分析等研究方法。問卷調查以公共圖書館之系統管理人員或主管為主，包括國立圖書館及各縣市級公共圖書館，為使調查數據精確與客觀，輔以調查系統廠商與大型大學圖書館之系統館員。 本研究之結論，建議公共圖書館自動化系統跨系統整合架構：(一)、以共用一套系統，(二)、設置「中心系統」供同質系統連結，以及(三)、設置「中心系統」供異質系統連結等架構方式為主。整合的區域範圍以生活圈為較適合的範圍，未來可擴大至整個臺灣地區。整合系統的功能面，除了促使廠商遵循相關標準發展系統外，建議參考不同領域之資訊應用層用，以讀者需求為導向，並可以考量資訊委外及圖書館自動化系統採用「應用系統供應服務」(Application Service Provider，簡稱ASP)模式，以減少公共圖書館資訊管理專業人力缺乏的問題。 / The main connective model of the public libraries automation system in Taiwan area is an integrated model connected between the municipal and county cultural bureaus (cultural centers) and rural libraries with one mutually automated system. Since its setup in 1996, the model has provided library patrons of all cities and counties with services of the union bibliographic database and one library card to be used at all libraries. Some counties and cities have also prepared to advance the interlibrary loan service and utilize the functions of the common library automation system. The motive of the study is to find out the integration of the public library automation in every county and city, to the provision of the intersystem information exchange, the promotion of the public library cooperation, and the expansion of the cross utilization of collections resources of public libraries all over Taiwan when the public library automation system has been completed in every county and city. The purposes of the study are: to investigate and find out the state of art of the operation of library automation systems of public libraries in Taiwan area and the interlibrary exchange problems, to collect and generalize functions, structures and related standards of interlibrary processes of the library automation system, and to analyze advantages and shortcomings and feasible methods of each intersystem integrated model, so as to work out a union model of public libraries integrated automation system in Taiwan area for reference by public libraries, government institutions and factories in their decision making and system development. Forthermore, the study tries to make an outline of the future development trends of the library automation system and offer some proposals on the basis of other information related technology and conceptions. The document analysis, questionnaires, information system analysis and other approaches are used for the research. The questionnaires are collected mainly from the library system management staffs or chiefs including national libraries and municipal and county public libraries. In addition, similar questions are also asked to system librarians, information system factories and college system librarians in order to make the data more accurate and objective. The conclusions of this study suggest three intersystem integrated structures of the public library automation system: “one” system, one “central system” set up for connecting with other uniform systems, and one system to connecting non-uniform systems (with at least one of the connected libraries available with a “central system”). The applicable area range of the integration is preferably life circle area, and may be expanded to the whole Taiwan area in the future. As to functions of the integration system, in addition to promoting factories, developing the system on the basis of the relative standards, suggestions are made for applications of information technology in other domains and in compliance with patron-oriented needs. Public libraries can also consider information outsourcing and adopt ASP (Application Service Provider) mode for the library automation system, so as to help out the lack of information management professional staffs.
