學術圖書館館員之核心任務為支援學術研究服務,美國學術圖書館設有專屬館員負責學術傳播、研究資料管理,以及數位學術研究等服務。台灣的大學圖書館少有深入的數位學術服務實務工作,藉由美國學術圖書館之具體實務來增進經驗知識,本研究採用質性研究訪談方法,受訪對象包含美國學術圖書館四位學術傳播館員、三位研究資料管理館員、二位數位學術研究館員。訪談結果分述於重點工作項目、協調溝通等多元技能與挑戰、良好館員個人特徵與工作熱誠來源、數位時代館員角色與任務等。本文提出為未來推展相關業務之優先序、為挑戰性高的事務來規劃因應措施、彈性調整組織結構與強化館員職能等建議,提供台灣的大學圖書館推展數位學術研究服務工作之參考資訊。
The core task of academic librarians are to support academic research. The recruitment for the following librarians' positions including scholarly communication librarians, research data management librarians, and digital scholarship librarians is popular in American academic libraries. Few university libraries provide in-depth digital scholarship services in Taiwan. In order to learn experiential knowledge about digital scholarship services of American academic libraries, qualitative interviews were applied in this research. The interviewees include four scholarly communication librarians, three research data management librarians, two digital scholarship librarians. The research results were stated as the following items: core job descriptions, multiple skills including communication and challenges, the personal traits of good librarians and their passion, the roles and tasks in digital age. Several suggestions were provided in this study, including prioritizing tasks for future work, proposing plans for most challenging works, flexible organizational structure, and developing librarians' competencies and skills. The research results are helpful to propose a plan for the practical work required of digital scholarship professionals and services in university libraries in Taiwan.
