摘要

对13位公共图书馆分馆经理进行了半结构化访谈，探讨了他们对社会工作者在公共图书馆工作以改善社会服务信息提供的日益增长趋势的看法。有社工在图书馆工作的和没有社工在图书馆工作的支行经理都自愿接受采访。总体而言，对这一趋势的看法是积极的，但社会工作者在图书馆中的角色，社会工作者和图书馆员如何最好地合作，以及图书馆社会工作者需要什么样的监督和评估等问题仍有待解决。

Bridging the Service Gap: Branch Managers Talk about Social Workers in Public Libraries

ABSTRACT Semi-structured interviews with 13 public library branch managers explored their perceptions of the growing trend to situate social workers in public libraries in order to improve the provision of social services information. Both branch managers who had social workers in their libraries, and those who did not, volunteered to be interviewed. Overall, perceptions of the trend were positive, but there are still issues to be resolved about the role of the social worker in the library, how social workers and librarians can best collaborate, and what appropriate supervision and assessment of library social workers require.

期刊介绍： Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century. In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines: •best practices and models to improve service •management case studies-with results and failures •library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development •studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes •marketing and fund-raising tools that work •budget and financial analysis tools and tips
