摘要

马尔代夫共和国是印度洋上的一个小岛屿发展中国家,已达到中等偏上收入和高人类发展水平,是南亚最强大的信息和通信技术基础设施之一。然而,该国图书馆和信息科学部门成立于70多年前,尚未超过最初的发展阶段。本文追溯了图书馆和信息科学部门在该国的兴起,并提请人们注意它所面临的无数挑战。这篇文章还试图通过吸引图书馆和信息科学雇主、教育机构、专业培训师以及图书馆和信息学专业人员的参与,引起政府决策者的注意,并激励他们了解和解决图书馆和信息科面临的困难。确定了一些关切,并提出了五个关键行动领域及相关行动步骤。这些可能会引起其他面临类似情况的发展中国家的共鸣。

A review of the library and information science profession in the Maldives: Development, challenges and opportunities
The Republic of Maldives, a small island developing state in the Indian Ocean, has achieved upper-middle-income and high human development category status, and one of the strongest information and communications technology infrastructures in South Asia. However, the country’s library and information science sector, which saw its inception over seven decades ago, has yet to advance beyond the initial development phase. This article traces the emergence of the library and information science sector in the country and draws attention to the myriad challenges faced by it. The article is also an attempt to draw the attention of government decision-makers and motivate them to understand and resolve the difficulties faced by the library and information science sector through engaging library and information science employers, educational institutions, professional trainers, and library and information science professionals. Some concerns are identified and five key action areas with associated action steps are suggested. These may resonate with other small developing countries that are facing similar scenarios.
