Designated research books for Research Projects

Faculty members may borrow designated research books procured under a publicly funded research project until the conclusion of the project, and they may extend the loan period beyond the project expiry date if necessary. Designated research books shall be returned to the Library’s collection and made available to the general public upon conclusion of the project or expiry of the loan.

Resources: The LibGuides Platform

To fully utilize the Library’s collections, we employ the LibGuides system to create catalogues tailored to individual departments and graduate institutes so as to meet their different teaching and research needs, develop and customize collection utilization guides, and facilitate timely access to resources by faculty members and students as they work on their academic writings and research projects.

Taichung’s Geography and Climate

Taichung City is located in the heart of Taiwan and serves as an important hub of transportation for people traveling between the northern and southern parts of the island. The weather here is mostly sunny throughout the year. With an average temperature of 23.3 °C (73.9 °F), it has been named Taiwan’s most livable city. July–August are the warmest months and January–February are the coolest. During daytime, the temperature is always warm (and sometimes hot), even in the winter. However, at night in winter, temperatures can drop significantly.

Safety (Smoking/Drinking Laws and Scams)

The minimum legal age for drinking and smoking is 20 in Taiwan, and driving under the influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited by law. Furthermore, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are prohibited throughout NCHU.Many international students have fallen victim to scam calls, which are prevalent in Taiwan. As a reminder, do not provide any personal information such as your bank account number, online banking login credentials, date of birth, and even the romanized spelling of your name, as such information can be used to gain control of your bank account. When you receive a call from an unknown caller who claims to be a government, telecom, or bank employee, do not answer any questions or listen to their orders. Your best course of action is to hang up immediately, or ask for their number and report it to the 165 Antifraud Hotline (reachable by cellphones) to see if it is indeed a scam call.
