Abstract

Exhibitions have become a major highlight of information communication and innovative services in Chinese libraries, archives, and local chronicles museums in recent years. However, many of these exhibitions have been hindered in “dialogue” with their audiences, leading to a limited impact. Hence, this study employed a triangulation approach, combining literature analysis and empirical study, to identify the existing problems of libraries, archives, and local chronicles exhibitions. On the one hand, perspectives were refined from previous studies through literature analysis to establish a research foundation for exhibition issues. On the other hand, nine institutions were selected for empirical study through importance-performance analysis (IPA) in east, central, and west China, integrating audience perspectives into problematic space. Based on the triangulation evidence, the problems mainly focus on three aspects: architectural planning, exhibition business, and public services, whereas the causes of the problems include stereotypes, late start points, and so on. The root causes appear to lie in the failure to transform from the document center to the public center, and the imbalance of curatorial theory research as a constraint bottleneck. These findings are expected to be utilized to enhance the specialization of Chinese documentary exhibitions, which attempt to overcome the difficulties of audience understanding and realize the real value of documents and the communication function of the media, thus promoting an effective dialogue between exhibitions and audiences.

中国文献收藏机构展览的问题、原因与思考:文献分析与实证研究的三角分析
近年来,展览已成为中国图书馆、档案馆和地方志馆信息传播和创新服务的一大亮点。然而,许多展览在与观众的 "对话 "中受到阻碍,影响有限。因此,本研究采用文献分析与实证研究相结合的三角分析方法,找出图书馆、档案馆和地方志展览存在的问题。一方面,通过文献分析从以往研究中提炼观点,为展览问题的研究奠定基础。另一方面,通过重要性-绩效分析(IPA)在华东、华中、西部选取九家机构进行实证研究,将观众视角融入问题空间。根据三角分析法的证据,问题主要集中在建筑规划、展览业务和公共服务三个方面,而问题产生的原因则包括陈规陋习、起点较晚等。究其根源,似乎在于未能从文献中心向公共中心转型,策展理论研究失衡成为制约瓶颈。这些研究成果可望用于提升中国纪录片展览的专业化水平,尝试克服观众理解的困难,实现文献的真正价值和媒体的传播功能,从而促进展览与观众的有效对话。
