期刊報紙是一般訊息傳遞、研究發展的成果發表最快速的園地，也是記錄當代人文、社會、科技等活動最重要的媒體，讀者使用量極高，但因保存不易，使用不便，因此亟需數位化以改善。 國家圖書館依據早年出版法及民國90年頒布的圖書館法，接受臺灣地區出版發行的期刊及報紙資料的送存，累計已逾一萬多種，其中具學術暨研究性質的刊物亦在3,000種以上，由於連續出刊，持續成長的刊物為數極為龐大，加上年代久遠，紙質脆弱泛黃，亟需予以適當的典藏管理，方能長久傳諸後人研究。因此，數位化典藏已是時勢所趨，除了典藏及管理方便外，讀者的利用，將更為便捷，尤其透過網際網路的傳布，知識的傳遞更能達到無遠弗屆的效果。 國家圖書館自民國90年起，以「國家圖書館期刊報紙典藏數位化計畫」加入國科會「國家數位典藏計畫」，此項計畫並自今 (91) 年起，轉納為國家型科技計畫之一，透過本計畫的執行，將在五年內完成館藏臺灣地區發行的期刊約1,000種、報紙的30種的數位化。主要目標為充實國家圖書館期刊報紙影像資料庫，便利民眾取閱，並得以數位方式永久保存，以備學術文化資產的永久典藏，並期能藉助資訊網路科技的進步，提供使用者方便快捷的文獻傳遞服務，達成無牆圖書館的理想。 本計畫的執行，迄今已近兩年，成果豐碩。本文擬就本項計畫的作業方式及成效加以分析探討，並提出相關作業經驗及問題與建議，期就教於其他同質性的數位典藏計畫，以收相互切磋觀摩之效。

Periodicals and newspapers act as transmitters of general information, the fastest avenues for publishing the fruits of research developments and the main mediums for recording the events of contemporary people, society, science and technology, etc. Although possessing a large circulation, they are difficult to preserve, thereby causing much inconvenience. Therefore, they greatly need to be digitized, which would be a great Improvement. As stipulated by the old Publishing Law and the more recent Library Law of 2001, the National Central Library has agreed to deposit the periodicals and newspapers published in the Taiwan area. Of the more than 10,000 publications, at least 3,000 are academic in nature. Being published continuously, the number of items have grown to an enormous amount. In addition, over time paper becomes delicate and yellow, requiring appropriate storage management to ensure their availability for future reference. Therefore, digitized storage has become the new trend. In addition to being more easily stored and managed, such materials are more readily used by patrons. Especially with online distribution, the spread of knowledge will no longer be limited by distance. As of 2001, the National Central Library entered the National Science Council's "National Digital Archives Program" with its "NCL Periodical and Newspaper Digital Archives Plan" Starting in 2002, this plan became one of the top national technical projects. Via the implementation of this plan, within five years around 1,000 periodical and 30 newspaper titles from Taiwan will have been digitized. The main purposes of this plan are to make the NCL's periodical and newspaper image database full of substance, give the public convenient access and ensure their permanent preservation via digitization. This will allow the cultural assets to be stored forever and hopefully will spur the advancement of information internet technology, providing speedy document delivery for library patrons and achieving the dream of a library without walls. This plan was implemented two years ago with fruitful results. This article tries to explore the methods of its operation and results. In addition, it provides relevant opera-ting experiences as well as problems and suggestions in hopes of guiding other similar plans to digitize collections and obtain opportunities to learn from each other.
