2002年3月31日的地震對臺北地區許多圖書館造成傷害，受災的圖書館中不少曾在書架上做過抗震防災的措施。研究者想藉此機會了解全省各類圖書館對書架進行抗震工作的處理情形及其成效，以做為研討圖書館中各類抗震設施的參考。資料的收集方式除了對全省各類圖書館進行抽樣性的問卷調查，以了解他們在地震前對書架的抗震防災工作及其後的災情、復原工作和補強措施之外，研究者並實地訪察了幾所受災的圖書館，查看他們的書架在抗震工作上的成效。問卷調查的結果顯示，地震前在書架上所做的抗震設施以「書架互扣」和「架頂聯桿」較多，但其成效不夠理想。震後書架的復原工作受到人力和經費的影響，以致在工作時間和內容上均較簡化。地震後許多館舍在從事於書架的補強工作時，較注意「書籍放置方式」的改變，其他的補強方式多依循過去的做法。在抗震資訊的獲取上，他們較多得自「廠商」和「其他館舍」，而與先前有明顯的不同。從案例的勘查上發覺書架的抗震措施在施作上有明顯的疏失。綜合前述，研究者提出一些建議供館方在選擇和施作抗震設施時的參考，在設施上可考慮採用「增加橫桿」和「架頂聯桿」，惟在細節上須加小心；若非在接頭上有妥善的處理，否則不宜使用「固定牆上」和「交叉斜撐」的做法。

　　　　　In March 31 2002, the earthquake occurred in north Taiwan damaged some libraries those had already set some facilities of earthquake-resistance in stacks. Author conducted a survey to find the effectiveness of retrofit of stacks in Taiwan and also investigated the damages of stacks in some libraries suffered in the earthquake in Taipei. Only 20% of library had set down the facilities of earthquake-resistance before the earthquake, and the results of their work were not effective enough during the earthquake. Owing to the shortage of manpower and financial aid, some recoveries have lasted for a year. The damage in stacks revealed that most of earthquake-resistance facilities have not been designed and executed well. Author analyzed and discussed the merits and shortcomings of those facilities used in retrofit in stacks, especially for the local conditions in Taiwan. From the results of analysis, recommendations have been made to the use of top bracing and added spreaders in the frame of stacks. The sway bracing and stacks anchored in slab were not suggested to use in the existed stacks for their performance in joints. Finally, author remained the librarian that the correct arrangement of books in stacks shall be the basic and most important thing in earthquake-resistance in the stacks.
