On the morning of April 11, 2018, the National Central Library (NCL) held a session on using academic resources for Taiwanese historical research, in order to assist visiting foreign scholars receiving financial support from the Center for Chinese Studies (CCS) or Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in locating and using academic resources while conducting research in Taiwan. In the afternoon, the library arranged for the scholars to pay a visit to one of the institutions that collect academic resources, the Academia Historica. Around 20 scholars participated in the session. Academia Historica staff explained the online collections system it uses for archive searches, database retrievals, and authorization management. A English guide was also arranged to introduce the institution’s history, buildings and permanent exhibitions. During the visit, the scholars eagerly asked many questions. Besides expressing their approval of development in the management and openness of Taiwan’s archives, they also gained an understanding of the value and benefit of each resource’s collection for their research. |
