The Mission of Librarians is to Improve Society through Facilitating
Knowledge Creation in their Communities.
Knowledge is Created through Conversation.
Libraries are in the Knowledge Business therefore the Conversation
Business.
館員的任務是於社群中促進創造知識以提升社會的進步。
知識經由對話產生,圖書館是知識產業,因此也就是對話產業。
美國學者R. David Lankes提出,一個成功的圖書館不是只有注重館
藏量、入館人數,館員的任務是要更能夠啟發並加速社群的夢想實
現與知識創造。
