声望关联、文献工作演进与图书馆学教育改革

Purpose/significance] The pace of de-librarization has being accelerated at the global library and information circle in recent years. Revealing the above underlying mechanism is not only crucial to understand the crisis of library science education, but also significant to promote the reform of library science education.[Method/process] Based on the reputation theory of sociology, this paper constructs two models of college reputation association and a model of library reputation conduction. And then, it reveals the internal association mechanism between the change of library practice and information management disciplines as well as library science education.[Result/conclusion] The research finds that the lower reputation resulting from the continuous simplification of the library name and its core business will fundamentally restrict the attraction of library science education and the implementation of the connotation reform, and will further drag down the educational reputation of information management disciplines, thus damage the overall competitiveness. The study provides a new explanation for understanding the inefficiency of library science education, and provides an important reference for educational practitioners to evaluate the gains and losses of library science education objectively and further deepen the reform.
