图书馆学理论研究一直热衷于讨论图书馆的本质是什么，并将之视为图书馆学的研究对象。一些学者指出这种模式的图书馆学理论研究具有明显的本质主义色彩，应该予以摒弃。这种观点引起了学界其他学者的反驳与批评。图书馆学人热衷于讨论图书馆学的本质，是想凭借本质研究向学术界和社会证明图书馆学的合法性。从目前图书馆学界的各种研究范式来看，实证研究在建构图书馆学合法性上卓有成效。要确定图书馆的学科合法性，根本路径是立足于学科特色，选择社会和学术界普遍关心的问题作为学科研究议题，并通过学术界认可的表达方式向学术界展示图书馆学的研究成果。

What is the essence of library, which has been considered as the research object, is a funda- mental issue discussed intensively in theoretical research of Library Science. Some scholars pointed out that the cognitive model of the theoretical Library Science research was showing essentialism-oriented apparently, so it should be discarded. Another fraction of scholars refuted this viewpoint and criticized it fiercely. The scholars who were eager to research the essence of library aimed at proving the legitimacy of library science as an independent discipline to the whole academia and society. The current situation is that the empirical research is an effective way to construct legitimacy of Library Science. To strengthen the legitimacy of Library Science, scholars should focus on research issues which are also attractive and important to whole academia and society based on the nature of Library Science, as well as present the research findings in a formal and scientific way which other disciplines are accustomed to.
