No full textCitizens’ Health Information Behaviors During SARS Spread Periods in Taiwan
No full text本文旨在探討SARS疫情在台灣爆發期間，民眾健康資訊行為特色及資訊行為相關議題，期望實證研究結果，提供資訊服務人員了解民眾更多資訊行為的面向，並將此認識融於提供的資訊服務中。本研究屬於探索性研究，旨在深化對現象了解，而非取得通論性結果，因此，以台北市民為對象，深度訪談十六人，男女性各八人，年齡分布在二十歲至六十二歲間，分屬不同的行業。訪談結果顯示，民眾獲得SARS主要的資訊管道是電視；在SARS訊息的接收與傳遞方面特徵有：快速高頻且主動的接收與傳播、傳播方式以人際傳播為主，但工具取代了面對面傳播、擔心訊息的正確性等；就防疫措施而言，部分受訪者採用民俗療法；民眾期待政府提供SARS相關資訊，但卻無法由政府單位發布的訊息中獲得滿足；研究中也發現資訊分享和資訊忽略等現象。The purpose of this study is to investigate the information behaviors of citizens during the periods of SARS spreading in Taiwan. This study is exploratory in nature, and the naturalistic inquiry approach was applied. Sixteen persons, aged from 20 to 62 years old, were interviewed in order to understand their primary information channels of obtaining SARS information, the characteristics of information communication, the methods of infection, the attitudes toward SARS news, and the influences of SARS to life.

Participant dissatisfied that governments did not announce much more authoritative information. The results also found participants’ information sharing and information avoidance behaviors
Reading Behavior and the Acquisition of Popular Stories in the Library
No full text閱讀是人類古老的活動之一，但是，對閱讀的社會學研究則是30年代才興起。圖書館主要的功能在提供資訊給使用者，因此，圖書館對使用者的閱讀行為更不可不了解。因此，本文首先探討閱讀的性質與價值、閱讀的動機與種類、系列出版品及羅曼史引起的爭議，最後並分析圖書館應不應該蒐藏系列出版品和羅曼史之看法，以幫助圖書館因應使用者的閱讀需求。Reading is one of the oldest activities of mankind but research on reading from a sociological perspective does not appear until the 1930s. Since the primary function of the library is to provide information for its readers, to understand their reading behavior becomes the key issue in deciding the proper acquisition of books. The purpose of this article is to analyze the characters, value, motivation & categories of reading. It also discusses the controversy between series books & romances as well as the suitability of holding these books in the libraries
A Comparative Study of Ming-Qing Leishu, Series in China and Encyclopedia of Eighteenth Century in France
No full text我國的明清時代所撰的類書，如永樂大典、古今圖書集成，與清乾隆所編的四庫全書，是中國文化史上的鉅著，甚具學術文化價值。而法國狄德羅百科全書，其編撰年代與四庫全書相近，在西方百科全書發展史上，佔有重要地位且影響深遠。然而，這四部中西文化發展史上偉大之著作，其編撰的時代背景、思想淵源卻有很大差異。本文試從思想背景、內容、編輯體例等層面，比較這四部巨作之異同，以期對中西文化思想上的發展，有更進一步的認識。Ming-Qing’ leishu , series in China and the eighteenth century’s encyclopedia in France are great achievements in human society. However, there are various differences between these books. This article attempts to compare the difference between them and focus on their historical background, content, editorial style et al. The results show that the difference between China’s leishu and France’s encyclopedia is mainly in the compiling ideology at that time
A framework for understanding culture and its relationship to information behaviour: Taiwanese aborigines' information behaviour
No full textIntroduction. This article proposes a model of culture and its relationship to information behaviour based on two empirical studies of Taiwanese aborigines' information behaviour. Method. The research approach is ethnographic and the material was collected through observations, conversations, questionnaires, interviews and relevant documents. In 2003-2004, the author lived with two Taiwan aboriginal tribes, the Yami tribe and the Tsau tribe and conducted forty-two theme-based interviews. Analysis. Data were analysed with the help of software for qualitative analysis (NVivo), where all sentences from both interviews and field notes were coded. The conceptual framework used is the sociology of knowledge. Results. The model of culture and its relationship to information behaviour can show us how to think about the relationship between culture and human information behaviour. This model also identifies elements of the model, which are habitus, tradition and prejudice and suggests how we can apply the concepts of information fullness and emptiness to view the relationship between culture and human information behaviour. Conclusions. Theoretically, this research puts forward a new model of information behaviour and focuses on the role and the importance of culture when thinking about and studying human information behaviour. Methodologically, this study demonstrates how an ethnographic research method can contribute to exploring the influence that culture has on human life and the details of the human life world and information behaviour
Form Oral to Written Communication
No full text資訊科學可以從資訊的產生、資訊的組織與處理、資訊的傳輸與使用三個面向來了解。就這三個部份而論，圖書資訊學對資訊的組織與處理、資訊的傳輸與使用花了較多的心力在探究，對資訊的產生則著墨甚少。本文即是企圖在這方面進行了解，針對人類早期幾個口語傳播的著例（如荷馬史詩、新約聖經、佛教聖典、可蘭經及論語），探討這些個案由口語傳播邁向書寫傳播的過程。Information Science could be studied from three approaches: origins of information, the organization of information, and uses of information. However, most of the practitioners and researchers in LIS have paid great attention to the organization and uses of information, not much of origins of information have been exploited yet. In this article, through the analyses of the canonization of several religious scriptures and epic, the authors have discovered the trends of oral communication toward written communication

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
