臺灣政府出版之兒童圖畫書出版調查

Abstract

本研究主要蒐集從1973年至2012年共40年的臺灣政府出版之兒童圖畫書，探討與分析其出版趨勢及偏好，以及相關圖書館館藏管理的現況。由於目前未有文獻整理或量化政府出版之兒童圖畫書的整體出版情形，因此希望透過本研究，經由文史分析法與兩階段的系統化網路搜尋，建立政府出版品兒童圖畫書之資料庫，並以使用者集研究者的角度，分析與推論其管理、運用及限制。以下為本研究的整體研究觀察發現與結論：1. 中央與縣市單位政府出版之兒童圖畫書，偏好於教育相關、單位或政策性質宣導之內容，近年以在地化議題為導向。2. 2002年後，縣市單位出版的兒童圖畫書有迅速上升之趨勢，中央單位則不如第一波出版潮來得多產。3. 館藏政府出版之兒童圖畫書的圖書館借閱率因公開性及使用族群的不同，而有較大之落差。4. 題材的運用變多元，但同時也限制了地域和議題的討論。5. 現今政府出版品兒童圖畫書缺乏新意和突破。6. 大量採用臺灣插畫家，可建立人才資料庫，成為拓展文化概念的種子。7. 官方單位少掌握並具計畫地發展活動和網路資訊，未利用其發展可能性。8. 官方立場與態度的轉換，讓政府出版品兒童圖畫書走向多元，但品質參差。9. 圖書館未盡落實監督政府出版品兒童圖畫書館藏之責任，並定期舉辦活動，並需彈性調整其管理限制，以免影響使用者之權益。

The paper collects children picture books published by Taiwanese government from 1973 to 2012, to explore and analyze trends and preferences, as well as library collection management. As there have been no literature to review or quantitatively analyze children picture books published by official agencies, the paper adopts data analysis and two-phase online search to build up database for official children's books, before analyzing and assuming its management, usage and limitations from user and researcher perspective. Observations and conclusions include: 1. Children picture books published by central and local governments are mostly related to education, governing bodies or policy, and shifted to localization in recent years. 2. Since 2002, local governments increase publications significately, while central government slows down. 3. Due to differences in access and target audience, popularity of these children's books greatly varies in libraries. 4. While topics are getting diverse, they mostly remains local and limited. 5. Official publications are lacked of creativity and breakthroughs. 6. By choosing local illustrators, it is possible to compile talent list and spread cultural concepts. 7. Government bodies rarely systematically distribute event and online information, and therefore limits possibilities. 8. Changes in official attitudes promote government publication diversification, though with mixed results. 9. Library do not fully exercise its responsibility to monitor official publications and regularly organize promotional events. It is necessary to adjust in management to enhance user's rights.¬¬
