性騷擾被視為不受歡迎的言行,但人民對性騷擾的認知可能因國情與文化而有所不同。公共與學校圖書館出入者多,不可避免是會發生性騷擾之場域,因此,本研究旨在探討國內公共與學校圖書館讀者對讀者性騷擾之情形,並提出預防性騷擾的建議。首先,本研究闡述國內性騷擾三法對性騷擾的界定與內涵,繼而回顧相關文獻,整合各學者對性騷擾行為態樣的分類方式。研究方法採用內容分析法,蒐集2005至2019年國內公共與學校圖書館讀者性騷擾讀者之相關新聞。經由新聞內容分析後,發現公共與學校圖書館以男性讀者騷擾女性讀者最為多見,且被騷擾者多為國高中女學生和成年女子;最常見的性騷擾行為態樣為肢體騷擾;最常發生性騷擾的地點為閱覽區。此外,公共圖書館常見的處理方式為館員與讀者合作處理,學校圖書館主要則是依法召開性別平等委員會。最後,針對公共與學校圖書館預防性騷擾的因應策略,從如何提升讀者的警覺性、如何建立性騷擾的空間防護網、如何調整館內業務以及如何提高館員具備扮演有能力的監護者的認知與行動力等四個面向,提出具體建議。

Finally, the study offers specific suggestions for public and school libraries in the ways they respond to sexual harassment. They are namely 1) how to improve readers 'alertness, 2) how to establish a protective net for sexual harassment victims, 3) how to adjust the management mechanism, and 4) how to improve the librarians' ability and awareness to act as competent guardians.
