With a view to improving the management and leadership qualities of librarians in Taiwan, a librarians’ training program operated by NCL in conjunction with the Library Association of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has already been running for a number of years. However, librarians from abroad wishing to learn about the use of important national databases have been limited to whatever they could learn during short visits; often it has been impractical to attain the desired levels of understanding. To meet this need, a ‘Workshop for Professional Librarians from Abroad’ is now being organized. The program will focus on important local sinological studies databases. Participation will be open to East Asian librarians internationally. Courses will be taught by local specialists and scholars as well as those from abroad. The initial number of participants is envisioned as 30 persons. Besides the program of studies, visits to related libraries and cultural and scenic spots will be organized. The program is scheduled for 9 days in all.
