从知识交流到文化传承：香港大学图书馆与院系的多元化合作 (From Knowledge Exchange to Cultural Inheritance: Multifaceted Collaboration Between the University of Hong Kong Libraries and Academic Faculties)

高校圖書館與院系之間的知識交流和文化活動是高校圖書館服務和文化建設的重要組成部分。這些活動不僅能夠加強圖書館與學術界的聯繫，還能提升圖書館的文化影響力，促進圖書館文化建設的多元化發展。本海報將以香港大學圖書館文獻保護與修復部門與香港大學文學院楊元錚教授的多年合作爲例，展示港大圖書館以文化保護傳承為優勢的多元化創新角色和服務。具體内容包括：1. 教與學的支援：採用跨學科知識整合策略，通過引入文獻保護與修復的相關知識，重構教學框架。具體而言，以專業修復師的視角為切入點，系統梳理古籍善本與古代書畫藝術品的形制流變與技術發展史，同步闡釋古籍與其他紙質文物的材料、裝幀工藝等專業維度。在此基礎之上，搭建理論認知與實踐感知的交互平台：借用圖書館實體文物資源進行實證教學，又融入體驗或觀摩環節，最終實現知識傳遞由抽象概念向具象認知的轉化，構建兼具學術深度與教學趣味的立體化課程體系。2. 特色館藏的推廣與價值提升：通過與教授合作舉辦「Music in Print 作樂崇德」主題展覽，以古代典籍中的音樂為切入點，系統展示了館藏特色中西文古籍。在確保文物安全的前提下，使珍貴典籍得以面向公眾，有效提升了館藏資源的認知度，相關古籍的檢索量與研究使用率顯著增長，成功實現了從文化展示到知識生產的價值轉化。此類以典籍為核心的推廣活動，不僅鞏固了圖書館作為學術樞紐的地位，更重新詮釋了現代研究型圖書館的文化使命——從傳統的知識存儲機構轉型為文化基因的激活者與傳播中樞，在學術研究與社會文化傳承中發揮著日益重要的作用。3. 文物保護的教育與推廣：通過組織圖書館文獻保護與修復部門的參觀活動，向學生普及文獻保護與修復的理念，展示紙質文獻的常見受損類型及修復方法，以及提供多樣化的動手實踐機會。活動以深入講解為基礎，結合館藏實物和修復案例，讓學生直觀了解文獻修復的流程及其背後的意義。此類活動不僅強化了圖書館作為文化傳承與守護者的角色，還通過增強幕後工作的透明度與互動性，提升了參與者對文化遺產保護重要性的認識。同時，亦為圖書館與用戶之間搭建了更多元化的溝通橋樑，提升讀者參與度。4. 其他活動：聯合舉辦講座和新書發佈會，邀請教師、學生和校外專家參與座談，分享最新學術研究成果，促進知識的傳播與共享。Knowledge exchange and cultural activities between academic libraries and university faculties are essential components of library services and cultural development in higher education institutions. These activities not only strengthen the connection between libraries and the academic community but also enhance the cultural influence of libraries, promoting the diversified development of library cultural initiatives. This poster explores the innovative and multifaceted collaboration between the University of Hong Kong Libraries and academic faculties, with a particular focus on the enduring partnership between the Library's Preservation Centre and Professor Yang Yuanzheng from the Faculty of Arts. It emphasizes their shared commitment to cultural preservation and inheritance."Contents Include:1. Teaching and Learning Support: By adopting an interdisciplinary knowledge integration strategy, the course integrates preservation and conservation expertise to enhance the curriculum. Co-taught with professional conservators, the course systematically explores the evolution of ancient books and traditional Chinese paintings, including the history of their techniques, formats, and materials. Building on this foundation, an interactive platform that combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience was established. By utilizing the library’s physical collection for hands-on teaching and incorporating observation and experiential sessions, the course transforms abstract concepts into tangible understanding, creating a multidimensional curriculum that is both academically rigorous and engaging.2. Promotion and Utilization of Special Collections: In collaboration with Professor Yang, the Libraries organized the "Music in Print - Selections from the Fung Ping Shan Library and Western Rare Book Collection" exhibition. This event, which focused on music in ancient books, systematically showcased the library’s unique collection of Chinese and Western rare books. By making this precious collection accessible to the public while ensuring their safety, the exhibition significantly raised awareness of the library’s resources and enhanced users’ appreciation for its exceptional and valuable holdings. The retrieval and research use of related items notably increased, successfully transforming cultural display into knowledge production. Such collection-centered promotional activities have not only reinforced the library’s role as an academic hub but also redefined the mission of modern academic libraries—from traditional knowledge repositories to dynamic activators and disseminators of cultural heritage, playing an increasingly vital role in academic research and cultural transmission.3. Preservation Education and Outreaching: Visits to the Preservation Centre are organized to educate students on the principles of preservation and conservation. These visits demonstrate common types of damage to paper-based materials, showcase various treatment techniques, and provide opportunities for different hands-on practices. Through professional guided tours and in-depth explanations, supplemented by real-life examples from the library’s collection and conservation treatments, participants gain an intuitive understanding of the technical processes and cultural significance behind conservation efforts. These initiatives not only reinforce the library’s role as a guardian of cultural heritage but also enhance public awareness of the importance of preservation and conservation by increasing transparency and interaction with behind-the-scenes work. Additionally, they create a bridge of communication between the library and its users, fostering greater public engagement in cultural heritage preservation.4. Other Activities: The library co-hosts lectures and book launches, inviting faculty, students, and external experts to share academic research findings, promoting knowledge dissemination and exchange.
