Chen, Li-Ping.

A case study of network organization, performance and librarians' attitudes in Taiwan, R.O.C. - 255 p.

Major Professor: F. William Summers.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1995.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate NBINET, the national bibliographic utility in Taiwan, in three fields--organization, performance and librarians' attitudes--in order to identify its achievements and problems. It is hoped that the results will provide the fundamental data and references for future development of library networking in Taiwan. It is also hoped that the findings will provide information useful in assisting decision-makers in creating new networks or improving the existing networks to be more responsive to the needs of network members.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this study is to evaluate NBINET, the national bibliographic utility in Taiwan, in three fields--organization, performance and librarians' attitudes--in order to identify its achievements and problems. It is hoped that the results will provide the fundamental data and references for future development of library networking in Taiwan. It is also hoped that the findings will provide information useful in assisting decision-makers in creating new networks or improving the existing networks to be more responsive to the needs of network members.
520 $a This study adopted the model proposed by Turock (1981) as a framework to conduct the research. The variables included: (1) organization: planning, governance, funding, communication, administration, evaluation, and training; (2) performance: hit rate, completeness, currency, friendliness, uploading and downloading functions; (3) attitude: barriers, advantages, disadvantages, expectations, demographic information, and knowledge background. The techniques used to collect data were a review of documents, eight on-site tests in libraries, and two mailed questionnaires.
520 $a The results of this study revealed that: (1) the overall attitudes of network staff and librarians toward the NBINET's organization are not quite positive; (2) the hit rates in NBINET were not high, especially for books published in Mainland China, serials, and non-print materials; (3) slow response of the system was the most common problem to the libraries; (4) online help facility was seldom used by libraries when problems occurred; (5) the major factors in librarians' negative attitudes are: inability of the governing body to carry out its policies, added workload, slow response, limited number of skilled technicians, lack of motivation, dissatisfaction with the hit rate and quality control of the database, the system is not user-friendly, and the elusiveness of online help; (6) the most urgent needs for improvement of the system include: improve search functions, enhance quality control of the database, provide more educational training, and improve response speed; (7) some problems, such as MARC conversion and CCCII problems, are related to standards, and will need time and the efforts of all concerned to solve.
