摘 要 图书馆延伸性服务有狭义和广义之分。广义论认为：图书馆延伸服务是一种向读者需求延伸的动态服务。它包括满足大众化需求的常规服务，也包括仅有小众需求的附加服务。常规服务和附加服务之间是相互转化的。广义论解决了狭义论悬而未决的问题。图书馆的服务属性由其所处的特定历史发展阶段决定。延伸性服务将适应当今国内经济体制和世界科技发展的新型图书馆服务形式。不同类型的图书馆延伸服务的侧重点不同。

New Interpretation of the Concept of Library Extension Service

Xun Hongmei

Abstract Library extension services have narrow and broad sense. Generalized theory thinks that library extended service is a dynamic extension to the needs of readers. It includes regular services to meet the popular demand and also includes additional services of only a small minority group. Routine services and additional services are mutually transformed. Generalized theory solves the problem left by narrow theory. Library service attributes are decided by the specific historical stage of development. Extension service is to adapt to the new library services form of today's domestic economy and the world's scientific and technological developments. The emphasis of extended services of different types of libraries should be different.

Keywords Extended service. Generalized extended service. Routine services. Additional services. Transform mutually.
