臺中市立圖書館推展地方學知識建構之研究

本研究旨在探討公共圖書館推展地方學知識建構的歷程與問題，以臺中市立圖書館為研究對象。採用社會科學研究方法中「質性研究」，運用文件分析法與深度訪談法蒐集資料，探討臺中市立圖書館推展地方學知識建構的現況。研究結果發現：（1）促成臺中市立圖書館建置臺中學專區的主要緣由為圖書館的使命、主管機關的政策、配合上級指示。(2)臺中學專區圖書資訊的蒐集，由總館統一建立蒐集的架構，並列入館藏發展政策中。(3)臺中學專區圖書資訊的整理，除成立初期不同外，目前一般館藏的處理流程相同，且專區圖書資源採集中放置。(4)自訂臺中學專區圖書資訊分類架構。(5)影響臺中學專區的主要因素包括空間、經費、上級長官支持。(6)圖書館建置臺中學專區，促使與在地相關知識系統化歸納，有助於臺中學研究的深度資訊需求。(7)圖書館網站或社群媒體是宣傳臺中學專區最常使用的管道，也會配合舉辦參觀導覽的走讀活動或讀書會來行銷專區(8)透過成立臺中學專區，讓民眾從社區開始建立對地方學的認識與印象。
