本研究選定3本指標性圖書資訊學TSSCI期刊,包括教育資料與圖書館學、圖書資訊學刊及圖書資訊學研究,以此3本期刊為分析標的,探究近年國內圖書資訊研究的趨勢。本研究針對2015-2019年間於該期刊所出版的論文,以研究對象、研究方法及研究主題等3項指標進行系統性內容分析。研究結果顯示,TSSCI期刊論文所聚焦的研究對象除文獻或檔案外,以人為研究對象(例如圖書館員、一般成人或學生)的論文數量亦為數不少;量化取徑的研究數量雖逐年增加,但實驗法的運用相對較少,質性取徑與文獻回顧研究數量也逐年降低;較受關注的研究主題有使用者觀點的資訊服務研究、數位典藏與學習應用研究,以及資訊與知識組織,根據上述本研究提出圖書資訊研究的未來方向。
This study aimed to explore the research trends in library and information science in the selected TSSCI (Taiwan Social Science Citation Index) journals including Journal of Educational Media & Library sciences, Journal of Library and Information Studies, and Journal of Library and Information Science Research. The publications from 2015 to 2019 were conducted with systematic content analysis. Three indicators for the coding scheme were (1) sample, (2) methodology, and (3) topic. The results showed that, in addition to focusing on literature and documents, the studies tended to choose users as research sample (e.g., librarians, adults, or students). Although the amount of quantitative studies have increased by years, the usage of experimental methods were relatively rare, as well as qualitative research and literature review research decreased every year. The three topics which have drawn scholars' attention were (1) information service and user studies, (2) digital archive and e-learning studies, and (3) information and knowledge organization. Based on the findings of this studies, several directions for future work on library and information science were proposed.
