Founded in July 1982, the mission of
theTaipei National University of Arts Library is to acquire and
maintain the resources in the field of arts and humanities. Our
collections, different from other general universities, include many
rare and special classics, and items that are hard to acquire. The
most important one, 清蒙古車王府藏曲本 published by
Beijing Classics Press (北京古籍出版社), is a rare
treasure of traditional Chinese opera, considering that there are
only 15 copies in the world. Yungang Grottoes (雲岡石窟), which was published by Kyoto University in 1951, is one
of the most important work concerning the archeology research of the
historic monument. Among the over one thousand volumes of arts and
humanities books donated by China’s Hebei
Education Press in 2004, 梅蘭芳藏戲曲史料圖畫集, the
Gold Prize winner of Best Designed Book at the Leipzig International
Book Fair in 2003, is considered one of the most beautiful book in
the world . These special collections have attracted many teachers
and students from other universities.
Our resources include more than 30 electronic databases, covering
subject areas in arts and humanities. The OCLC netLibrary e-book,
which is also adopted by Stanford University, University of
California, Berkeley, and National Taiwan University among others,
was introduced into the Library in 2004. In 2005, the Library added
the famous Chinese e-book“Superstar Digital
Library”（超星數字圖書館）.
The Library has a remarkable record in executing various projects
sponsored by the Ministry of Education, National Center for
Traditional Art, and Council for Hakka Affairs, Executive Yuan. The
results of these projects have been integrated into our resources and
collections.
In addition to general services, such as circulation, photocopying,
reference and information searching, and course-related reservation,
the Library provides educational activities, including“Library Tour”for freshmen,
instructions for database uses, and research method workshops. Interlibrary
loan is offered through our cooperation with libraries of many
institutions, including National Taiwan University, National Chengchi
University, National Yang Ming University, National Taiwan University
of the Arts, Fu Ssu-Nien Library, Academia Sinica, Institute of
Ethnology Library, Academia Sinica, Performing Arts Library of
National Theater & National Concert Hall, and Fu Jen Catholic
University.
For these years, the Library has endeavored to support our users’ teaching and learning. The extended services include
Current Contents Service for faculty, help for faculty webpage,
online book recommendation, forthcoming and new arrived book service
and retracing classification numbers of AV resources. In addition,
the Library shows motion pictures every week and held variable topic
book exhibitions. In order to keeps our users updated about the
