As part of NCHU’s 100th Anniversary, the area in front of the 1F copy room was remodeled into the NCHU Collection, which showcases around 1,500 works by NCHU faculty members as a means of demonstrating the University’s academic influence and the efforts of university faculty to pursue the advancement of research and knowledge. The official opening ceremony of the “NCHU Collection” was held on November 28, 2019.
The library processes book donations according to the “The National Chung Hsing University Library Guidelines for Donating Library Materials”.
Donors are asked to fill out the National Chung Hsing University Library Donated Library Materials Processing Form and List of Donated Library Materials and e-mail them to lcshaw@dragon.nchu.edu.tw. Alternatively, donors may hand copy of each form to staff at the Circulation Desk.
