摘要

由於科技進步與社會變遷的影響，圖書館員繼續教育受到重視，英國與美國積極提倡利用網路科技傳遞繼續教育。我國公共圖書館正面臨人力資源質量不足與繼續教育管道不通等問題，或許不受時間、空間限制的網路繼續教育可解決這些困難。本文旨在從英國圖書資訊學校遠距學習經驗探討館員網路繼續教育的原理與應用，首先探討圖書館員繼續教育的重要與需求，其次研究網路教學在圖書館員繼續教育之應用，包括網路繼續教育的方法、課程設計、教學原理、與認證制度。另一方面，以英國圖書資訊學校遠距學習實例，說明網路繼續教育的實施與成效，最後歸納總結並對我國未來發展館員網路繼續教育提出建議。

Recently, continuing professional education has become a topical issue within the context of the rapid changes that are taking place in the library profession, changes brought about by the explosion of advanced technology. In Taiwan, although there are a lot of needs of continuing professional education for public librarians, they can not afford to take training leaving their libraries because of sparse manpower. As web-based instruction is gradually popular, the article mainly discusses the web-based continuing education for librarians. It explores some successful models of web-based continuing education, web-based course designing and pedagogic strategies. The CPD framework of CILIP is also introduced. Finally, the article uses the distance learning of University of Wales, Department of Information Studies as an example to illustrate a good web-based continuing education model.
