📚Summary Introduction
|
|
The Office of Library and Information Services is located in the seven-storey library information building, with a combined space of 89,700 sq. ft., which provides two major services： library resources and related services, and computer and networking services. Its primary responsibility is to meet overall demand from faculty and students for books and information services, through establishing library and information system policies, integrating management and development of books and information network resources, assisting teaching and research, and providing superior information retrieval services.
Currently, the library has archived over 410,000 pieces of information, including digital data. It has a user capacity of about 540 seats. Fooyin University has also joined the Taiwan Academic E-Book & Database Consortium, which allows more than 90 domestic schools to share E-books and information resources. As of November 2009, Fooyin faculty and students can borrow and return without fees from other schools via the Southern Regional Cooperative Platform for Library Resources Sharing Service. Fooyin has also joined national and regional inter-library cooperative organizations, such as the Kaohsiung Alliance of University Libraries, to realize its philosophy of fully utilizing sharable resources.
