摘要

處於二十一世紀的知識經濟社會，人人面對資訊洪流的衝擊與來自全球人才的競爭，因此學習如何有效利用資訊與養成終身學習是每個人重要的課題。而學校圖書館居於圖書館學與教育之樞紐，負有將資訊融入教學，培育學生終生學習技巧之重任，於此時更彰顯圖書館的重要性。學校圖書館學會存在之目的主要在推廣該專業與維護其專業人員之權益，因此各國學校圖書館學會之運作與其學校圖書館事業之發展實有密切的關係，學會投入的努力將展現在其專業的蓬勃發展上。

有鑑於此，本研究根據國際學校圖書館學會（IASL）2003年－2006年的各國論文發表篇數，選擇發表篇數最多的澳大利亞和美國為研究對象，利用歷史法探究兩國全國性學校圖書館學會之運作、標準規範之內容、人員認證之標準，再透過比較法剖析其異同，作為國內參考之依據。

本研究結果可歸納為下述七項結論：
一、美澳學校圖書館學會是積極活躍的組織，主動針對學校圖書館面臨的諸多問題進行研究，以提供館員解決之道。
二、美澳學校圖書館學會訂定之規範內容由著重量化數據朝強調質化內涵邁進。
三、美澳學校圖書館標準之擬定均貼近當時的教育潮流。
四、美澳學校圖書館學會自1990年代開始重視擬定資訊素養標準。五、美澳學校圖書館學會與其它學會或專業合作，共同擬定標準。六、美澳學校圖書館學會清楚聲明學校圖書館員應具備多重身份。七、美澳學校圖書館學會明確界定學校圖書館之專業人員與支援人員的職責。

根據研究結果，本研究針對國內學校圖書館學會提出六項建議，分別為：
一、學會應有保存學會發展資訊之意識，並作相關研究。
二、掌握學校圖書館發展之現況及館員關注之焦點，並進一步提出有效之建議。
三、擬定更詳盡的學校圖書館全國性標準規範，並定期予以修正。四、針對中小學學生之學習建立一套全國性資訊素養指標。
五、規劃圖書館從業人員分類，擬定專業分級制度。
六、推廣教師進修圖書館學課程，藉以提升專業館員人數。
