公共圖書館面對網際網路以及兒童上網趨勢所帶來的影響，早已嘗試結合網路與電腦來建置兒童專屬的網站以提供新的兒童服務。然而，為求了解網站使用成效與提升網站之品質，公共圖書館有必要針對兒童網站進行評鑑作業。國外研究者針對兒童網站與網路資源早已建置了許多網站評鑑指標提供圖書員、中小學教師與兒童做為選擇、評鑑網站優劣時之參考，反觀國內相關研究內容則十分缺乏。因此，為求提升國內公共圖書館中文版兒童網站之品質，有必要針對兒童網站進行評鑑研究。 基於上述研究動機本研究首先透過文獻分析法探討兒童網站建置與規劃、兒童資訊需求與資訊尋求行為，以及網站評鑑指標與兒童網站評鑑要項等相關文獻做為本次研究之理論基礎。其次，彙整各領域專家學者所提出之網站評鑑指標並透過問卷調查法蒐集家長對指標重要性之看法以及對網站功能與服務之建議。最後，針對國內公共圖書館中文版兒童網站進行調查研究，了解現行網站之數量並針對12項網站可茲提供之服務內容進行分析比較。 依據研究資料分析，本研究提出相關結論如下: 一、網站評鑑指標：總計共有介面設計與資訊架構、網站內容、網站互動性、多媒體特性以及網站連結品質等五大構面，50項評鑑指標可做為公共圖書館評鑑之依據，研究結論包含：(一)網站內容為家長認為最重要之評鑑構面；(二)教育性、知識性、正確性、適切性、趣味性和新穎性是家長關注的網站內容性質；(三)資訊架構與介面設計構面中家長首重介面設計之易操作性、閱讀性與美觀性；(四)網站互動性功能應以有效協助兒童使用網站為首要目的；(五)網路頻寬為影響多媒體技術和網站連結品質之重要因素。 二、網站內容分析部份：目前國內共有十所公共圖書館提供中文版兒童網站介面，建置單位層級以縣(市)圖書館為主，研究結論包含(一)各館網站服務數量提供不均，數量差距頗大；(二)圖書館基本資料和相關規定、最新消息、館藏查詢、網路資源區、諮詢服務與討論區為網站最常提供的服務項目；(三)各館網站服務內容各有特色，服務名稱採用適合兒童程度之詞彙；(四)部份網站內容有連結錯誤或服務項目無內容之情形；(五)各館缺乏兒童專屬之館藏查詢介面。 最後，本研究提出數點建議如下：一、國內公共圖書館應加速規劃建置中文版兒童網站；二、已建置網站者應加強內容更新與維護；三、從使用者觀點建構優質兒童網站；四、依據年齡層級提供網站分層服務，實施網站分級制度；五、網站可加強規劃討論區、留言板；多媒體資源區；遊戲區和課業資源區服務；六、加強兒童版網站之利用推廣；七、針對現行公共圖書館中文版兒童網站進行評鑑。 / Under the influence of the Internet and children’s use of the Internet, public libraries have already attempted to establish websites exclusively for children in combination of the Internet and computers to offer children new services.
