Review on the Research of Early Literacy Services for Young Children in Public Libraries
Through literature search at home and abroad,based on keyword clustering and text content analysis,it can be found that the research of early literacy services for young children in public libraries mainly focuses on the following six aspects:service guidance research focuses on early childhood development theory,family concept guidance,service subject research focuses on treating public libraries as a whole and children's librarians in public libraries,service object research focuses on the needs of ordinary/special young children and their families,service content research focuses on resource construction and activity promotion,service project research focuses on"Bookstart"project,"Every Child Ready to Read@your library"project,service strategy research focuses on strengthening theoretical research,ensuring the professionalization of resources,strengthening social cooperation and innovating reading service models.Early literacy service for young children of public libraries in China is still in the development stage.The general framework of early literacy service is not perfect enough,although it could be built by existing research,which lack the discussion of some core elements and aspects,such as the young children's librarian,service practice in China and service evaluation.
