~Sharing Our Joy~ The Office of Library and Information Services Has Been Awarded the 2025 NBINET "Golden Devotion Award" and "Golden Innovation Award"!
Our library joined the "National Bibliographic Information Network" (NBINET) of the National Central Library as a partner library in 2019 (108th Year of the Republic). Joining this organization allows us to co-build and share bibliographic data with other domestic institutions. Since 2020 (109th Year), we have uploaded bibliographic records on a monthly basis to fulfill our responsibilities as a partner library and share resource data. Furthermore, we adopted the Resource Description and Access (RDA) standards for cataloging in August 2022 (111th Year). This year (2025/114th Year), our library is honored to receive the "Golden Devotion Award" (金心獎) and the "Golden Innovation Award" (金創獎)!
This year's NBINET Partner Library Directors Meeting was held on the afternoon of October 30 at the International Conference Hall of the National Central Library. The number of NBINET partner libraries has reached 124. Through years of collaborative efforts among all member institutions, the total volume of bibliographic records has exceeded 16 million.
