有關報刊史的研究，過去多以分析文字報刊為主，畫報的論析較被忽略。若能從畫報的角度探討，將會發現與文字報刊不盡相同的圖景。 就畫報的發展而言，上海發生過兩次畫報潮，第一次由1884年創辦之《點石齋畫報》引起，第二次則由1926年之《良友畫報》所帶動，並且在三十年形成風潮。《點石齋畫報》為石印畫報，聘請畫師手繪印製而成。在網目照相版技術引進中國之後，攝影圖片取代繪畫圖片，《良友畫報》即採用攝影技術，以大量的照片呈現內容。由於攝影無法拍攝詭譎神怪的情景，因此雖然仍以獵奇作為編輯的基本主軸，但在相當程度上轉變了畫報的內涵。攝影類畫報除了沿襲清末以來石印畫報報導新奇事物的特色之外，還有承襲報刊的哪些面向呢？承襲之後又有哪些轉化性的創新呢？這些創新對於當時讀者來說，具有何種意義呢？換句話說，對讀者而言，和文字報相較，畫報到底被定位為何種類型的讀物？而以「獵奇」為主軸的編輯方式，對讀者產生什麼樣的閱讀感受？這類屬於閱讀史（History of Reading）範圍的問題，是為本論文撰寫的初衷。 本論文除第一章前言與第五章結論之外，共分為三章。《良友畫報》是否造成「閱讀習慣」的轉變，是本論文的問題意識所在。第二章主要從《良友畫報》引發的第二次畫報潮中，所出現之畫報史回顧作品著手，從後設的角度進行分析，闡述這些畫報史作品的寫作手法，以及其所蘊涵之預設，進而深掘在此預設背後，對「畫報」這個型式的界定。當代學者多據這些畫報回顧史作品，討論中國第一份畫報畫報為何，或按照其分類方式進行討論，本章的目的即在於對此種研究取徑做一反思，希望藉由後設的角度，進一步論析上述畫報史文章，從而避免跟隨其後見之明的論旨，進而為其所牽制，並且藉此深掘當時讀者對於「畫報」的觀感與定位，更為確切地掌握彼時讀者的心態。 第三章主要討論《良友畫報》的出版機構——良友圖書印刷公司，藉由分析良友圖書公司的整體風格，作為理解《良友畫報》的背景，避免僅就報刊文本探討所導致的平面分析之弊。本章的研究手法，亦非僅僅描述良友圖書公司的建置而已，而是將上海書業龍頭商務印書館與良友圖書印刷公司作一比較，討論該公司如何自民初以來唯有出版教科書才能生存的上海書業中，突破既有的窠臼，開創以出版畫報為專業方向之全新出版風格，深化第二章關於三十年代對「畫報」體裁所抱持的看法，揭示良友圖書印刷公司對於消閑閱讀習慣的建立，實具有不可忽視的影響力。 順此而下，第四章則將焦點放置在良友圖書印刷公司旗下銷量最佳的《良友畫報》，析論《良友畫報》如何運用「畫報」特具的圖像特質，呈現與文字報刊不甚相同的閱讀圖景，在強化第一章對「畫報」獨特性討論之際，亦試圖梳理出迥異於李歐梵等學者所呈現的摩登時尚之另一種現代性面貌。結論除綜述內文論旨之外，另援用哈伯瑪斯之「公共領域」（public sphere）的概念，討論自晚清李伯元《遊戲報》以來所帶動的消閑閱讀習慣，被 1910 至1920 年代盛行的小報潮負面化以來，《良友畫報》如何扭轉當時人對消閑閱讀的惡評，確立消閑閱讀習慣的正當性，進而去除《遊戲報》以來的諷刺時事之「公共領域」特質，轉變為一個純淨的消閑空間，並且在失去批評時政的特色下，從而被政治當局挪用，成為官方意識型態的傳聲筒。

隨著網路的發展，人們的閱讀習慣和閱讀行為一直不斷的進化與改變。過去的研究指出在這數位化的年代，更多的網路閱讀習慣的研究需要再進一步的進行與更新，以便英語教育者更加了解英文學習者如何使用網路幫助他們的英語學習。本研究欲探討大學生如何運用網路幫助他們的英語學習，此研究主要探索大學生英文網路閱讀的習慣以及他們對於英文網路閱讀的觀感。此外，此研究更進一步探討大一學生和大四學生在英文網路閱讀及觀感上是否有差異。 本研究採取質性研究，以北台灣兩所大學為例，參加本研究的學生一共有四十九位學生，分別有二十五位大四英文系學生以及二十四位大一英文系學生。資料收集主要採用焦點團體訪談的方式，以半結構式的方談方式採訪了十八組學生。學生的訪談資料收集後，將訪談內容轉為逐字稿以進行內容分析。 本研究主要發現，學生上網閱讀英文的主要目的是完成學校作業。學生喜歡在網路上閱讀和課業有關的文章、比較聳動以及容易記住、輕鬆的文章主題（例如：休閒活動和藝術）。學生也喜歡在網路上挑選比較簡短、比較具有信賴度和權威性的文章閱讀。根據網路上各種英語學習資源以及學生所提供的資料來分類，本文中整理出學生經常使用的英文學習網站，以供參考。此外，在網路上閱讀英文時，學生比較有動機閱讀有多媒體呈現的文章內容。當在網路閱讀英文時，遇到閱讀理解有問題，學生通常利用線上網路字典或是網路即時翻譯的功能，以幫助他們對文章的理解。 學生提出在網路閱讀英文有些缺點，包含缺乏靈活性、容易分心和迷失方向、提供過多的資訊、缺乏人體工學的考量。此外，學生也提出網路閱讀的優點。學生認為在網路閱讀可以讓他們省時、省錢的得到資訊、得到快速更新的資訊以及其他人的觀點、得到不同形式的資訊、與他人溝通、製作自己的閱讀檔案、增進英文學習、同時處理很多事務。學生也提出一些建議給有意願使用網路教學的的老師，以便老師能夠了解他們的真正的需求與困難。例如，他們希望老師能夠推薦他們有用的網站、教導他們網路搜尋技巧、並且能夠將網路的使用真正的融入課堂中。 本研究也發現大一學生和大四學生在網路閱讀習慣及觀感最主要的相異之處在於大四學生比大一學生習慣將英文融入他們的日常生活中，以便他們透過網路來增加學習英文環境的機會。此外，大四學生比較能夠有技巧性地運用網路資源，以解決他們在網路閱讀上遇到的問題。相反地，大一學生仍然需要老師教導他們一些技巧來解決在網路上閱讀所遇到的問題，以及教導他們如何分辨可信賴和不可信賴的網站。 希望本研究的發現可以讓教育者瞭解大學生如何使用網路來幫助他們的英語學習，以及網路的使用如何影響他們的閱讀習慣。文末進一步提出相關建議，作為教育學者們教學上的參考。 / With the advancement of the Internet, people’s reading habits and behaviors have been evolving and reshaped. Previous studies indicated that more research on reading habits in this digital age is necessary to be further investigated and updated to eke out EFL educators’ understanding of EFL learners’ uses of the Internet to facilitate their English learning. This study attempts to explore how undergraduate students use the Internet to facilitate their English learning by delving into their habits and perceptions of reading English on the Internet and whether there is any difference between undergraduate freshmen and seniors. The present study adopted a qualitative research method. The participants are forty-nine EFL English major undergraduates with twenty-five seniors and twenty-four freshmen from two universities in northern Taiwan. The major way to collect data is focus group interviews, which are semi-structured interviews with eighteen focus interview groups of the participating students. The interview data were transcribed in verbatim and analyzed in accordance with content analysis method. The major findings of the habits of reading English online revealed that the participants basically held positive attitude towards and grew into the habit of reading English on the Internet. They read English online for the purpose of doing schoolwork and they preferred reading contents related to their courses, with light topics such as leisure and art, with sensational and catchy topics, in short length, or with more reliability and authority. The English learning websites that the participants usually went to were also provided for pedagogical references. Moreover, the participants were much more motivated to read English online when the reading contents were accompanied with multimedia. Upon facing reading comprehension problems, they usually turned to online dictionaries or online instant translators to improve their understanding of the contents they were reading on the Internet. The students’ perceptions of disadvantages of reading online included inflexibility, distraction and disorientation, oversupply of information, and lack of ergonomic concerns. Apart from the disadvantages of reading English on the Internet, the participants put forth a number of valuable merits of reading online, including time and cost saving in gaining information, gaining rapidly-updated information, others’ perspective, accessing information in divers forms, interacting with others, making documents, benefiting English learning, and multitasking. As for the suggestions made to the teachers intending to integrate the Internet use into classes, the participants hoped that teachers could recommend them useful websites, teach them search skills, and infuse the Internet into the classroom setting. The major findings of the differences between the seniors and the freshmen were that the seniors were more accustomed to incorporating English language into their daily lives in order to increase more chances to immerse themselves in English learning environments through the Internet than the freshmen. In addition, the seniors were more resourceful in using the Internet to help themselves with problems they met while reading online. Contrarily, the freshmen still needed teachers’ training on how to solve their reading comprehension with more methods and on how to distinguish reliable websites from incredible ones. Finally, it is expected that the findings of this study can provide educators with more understanding about how undergraduates utilize the Internet to facilitate their English learning and how their reading habits are influenced by the widespread use of the Internet. Besides, a number of pedagogical implications and instructional suggestions are presented at the end of this thesis for educators’ teaching references.

近年來我國致力於改善公共圖書館的資源與環境，希望能夠提供更好的服務給讀者，且提升公共圖書館的使用率，但從一些圖書館使用者的相關統計獲知，農業背景使用圖書館的比例皆不達百分之一。另外對於許多政策上的變革，增添農業推廣發展的難度，其中農業推廣人員，也因自認專業知識的不足，無法完善服務農民多變的需求，產生工作上的許多壓力。 基於以上的原因，且在農業推廣的體系中，家政推廣的內容較貼近於一般民眾，所以本研究針對家政推廣人員進行探討，瞭解其資訊需求，以及圖書館要如何提供良好的服務與館藏，吸引並協助家政推廣人員為主要的目的。 問卷調查的對象，以我國農會與漁會的家政推廣人員為主，分作資訊需求、閱讀習慣以及圖書館使用狀況三方面，根據問卷調查結果，發現到家政推廣人員，多基於工作上的需求，透過網際網路獲取所需資訊，所需的資訊內容也多與工作相關；最多家政推廣人員選擇閱讀的地點，是自家與工作的場所，閱讀資料的來源多是農漁會機構所提供，另外在每週閱讀的平均時數以及每年夠書金額，都高於我國國民平均。分析有使用圖書館習慣的家政推廣人員，大部分是平均每週去圖書館一次、一個月平均借書量為1-5本，鄉鎮圖書館是最多人使用的，使用圖書館的主要目是借還圖書，而一般圖書也是最多人使用的館藏，對於圖書館的最滿意的地方是地點設立的便利性，最不滿意的是圖書館的檢索系統。 依據問卷所得結果，提出鄉鎮圖書館改進的項目，以提升家政推廣人員的圖書館使用率，例如：改善開閉館時間、根據家政人員的推廣活動提供適當館藏、加強宣導圖書館服務項目、舉辦兒童教育與醫療保健相關的推廣活動、改善圖書館的檢索系統、與家政推廣人員合辦社區活動。並且建議我國能夠設立農業專門圖書館以及博物館、農業資訊服務中心應彙整網路資源以及農業推廣充電站可導入知識管理的技術，藉以提昇我國農業推廣的發展。 / In recent years, Taiwan government makes efforts to improve public libraries, and hopes to provide better services and environment to the readers for promoting library usage, but a number of library users studies showed that the users with agriculture background did not reach to 1%. Many policy changes make developments of agricultural extensions harder. Even some agricultural extension staffs feel lacking of professional knowledge to serve farmers, and that results in their pressure at agricultural extension work. Based on the above reasons, and the Home Economics’ services are closer to the general public’s life, so this study aimed at Home Economics Extension agents to explore and understand their information needs, and find out how to provide good library services and collections, in order to attract and assist in Home Economics Extension agents. The questionnaires survey aimed at the home economics extension agents in the framers’ association and fishers’ association. It includes three parts: information needs, reading habits and library usage. According to survey findings, the home economics extension agents would like to obtain the required information about working via the internet, most Home Economics workers prefer reading at home or the offices, and the most sources are from the farmers’ associations or fishers’ associations. Home economics extension agents’ average reading hours per week and spending on buying books every year are above the average of Taiwan populace. Analysis of the home economics extension agents with the habit of using libraries demonstrates that most of them go to the library once per week, every month borrow 1 to 5 books from the library, and primarily use the township libraries. They go to the libraries for the circulations as mainly goal, and feel most satisfied with the location of the library, and most dissatisfied with the library's OPAC system. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the township libraries could improve the following to attract and assist in Home Economics Extension agents: regulating the open hour, according to agents’ needs to provide adequate collections, enforcing marketing the services, conducting extension activities about education and health, improving the OPAC system, and organizing community activities with home economics extension agents. The study makes final suggestions to enhance the promotion of Taiwan's agricultural development as follows: establish the agricultural libraries and museums, agriculture science information center shall collect network resources about agriculture, and use knowledge management technology to manage agricultural resources in Council of Agriculture.
