主研究主要是針對中部四縣市各國小圖書館進行圖書館現況、自動化作業概況及 圖書館負責人對自動化的認識與態度等的調查研究。圖書館自動化作業是資訊社會中現代化 圖書館的發展趨勢，國小圖書館自動化一般發展比較緩慢，由於國小圖書館普遍經費不足， 加上圖書館負責人缺乏電腦及圖書館學的專業知識。使得圖書館自動化的成長歷程倍極艱辛 。本研究主要目的是瞭解各圖書館實施自動化作業的現況，同時蒐集相關文獻，供各國民小 學做為發展及瞭解圖書館自動化實務的參考。除此之外，並進一步分析圖書館負責人對自動 化業務的認識與態度之間的關係。 調查結果顯示，中部四縣市 516 所國小中，有 40 所學 校已實施圖書館自動化作業，使用的系統為國內廠商自行開發的和國小老師自行研發的。自 動化系統中，39 所學校有編目模組，34 所學校有流通模組， 23 所學校有 OPAC，10 所學 校有採訪模組。 其 70% 以上的圖書館負責人使用過電腦、閱讀電腦書刊及修過電腦課程， 這其中有 52% 的人知道圖書館自動化能幫助圖書館做哪些工作， 但對於自動化的相關活動 ，如演講或研討會，則有 95% 以上的人未曾參與此類活動。 再者圖書館負責人對圖書館自 動化之認識與態度之間的關係， 經由 t 考驗的結果，得知圖書館負責人曾接觸過電腦及瞭 解圖書館自動化作業系統的知識，其對自動化的態度較為積極。基於上述研究結果，筆者建 議教育當局及早修改國民小學設備標準與成立國小圖書館自動化系統專家顧問小組，並在師 院各系開設圖書館學與資訊科學等相關課程及舉辦自動化研討會，使小學教師普遍具有圖書 館專業知能，及早推動圖書館資訊網路，促進資源共享。
