摘　　要：1954-1974年,劳伦斯·昆西·芒福德担任美国国会图书馆第11任馆长。其历史贡献包括:赢得国会的信任并保持融洽关系;扩大海外采购并推动编目计划的发展;推动图书馆机读目录系统的开发与运用;筹建麦迪逊大楼;积极发挥美国国会图书馆在全美范围内的其他作用;推动美国国会图书馆的平权行动,从而促进了经费、藏书量与工作人数的显著增长,带动了美国国会图书馆在世界范围的快速发展。这也引起了人们关于美国国会图书馆双重角色的辩论,而芒福德认为,美国国会图书馆具有立法图书馆与国家图书馆的双重角色。From 1954 to 1974,Lawrence Quincy Mumford served as the 11th Librarian of Congress.His historical contributions include:securing the trust of Congress and maintaining harmonious relations;expanding overseas acquisitions and advancing cataloging initiatives;promoting the development and application of the Machine-Readable Cataloging(MARC)system;overseeing the construction of the James Madison Memorial Building;strengthening the Library’s role across the United States;and advocating for equal opportunity measures at the Library of Congress.These efforts resulted in significant increases in funding,collection size,and staff,propelling the Library’s rapid growth on a global scale.Mumford’s tenure also fueled debates about the dual role of the Library of Congress,with Mumford emphasizing its functions as both the legislative library for Congress and the national library of the United States.
