    Book exchange with Xiamen University

    WGWL News 本馆资讯

    PicMonkey CollageRecently Wang Gungwu Library has kicked off book exchange programme with Xiamen University (厦门大学). As part of collaboration series between NTU Library and Xiamen University Library, this programme is meant to enhance library collections especially monographs, scholarly papers and other university publications which are hardly obtained through normal channels. The first bunch, about 1,000 volumes has been packed and sent to NTU Library acquisition department for shipping. Meanwhile, hundreds of books from Xiamen University are also on the way to our library.

    More book exchange programmes with other significant institutions will be conducted in a foreseen future. We have contacted with Jinan University (暨南大学) and Wuyi University (五邑大学) and got very positive responses. We believe these kinds of programmes not only benefits our users from availability of publications not usually obtainable from local libraries, but more importantly, help to build good relationship between our centre and these institutions.

                                           王赓武图书馆图书交换计划

    近日王赓武图书馆展开了与厦门大学图书馆的图书交换计划。作为双方深入开展系列合作项目之一，该计划对丰富我馆学术出版物、学术论文及其他在公开市场上不易购得的出版物收藏有着极大的促进作用。第一批为数约1000册的复本图书已整理装箱完毕，暂存于南洋理工大学图书馆文献采集部等待运送。同时，厦门大学所交换的300余册书籍也将于近期抵达。

    此外，王赓武图书馆也会与其他学术机构开展更多的图书交换计划，以最小支出来实现资源的优化配置。目前我们已经获得了暨南大学、五邑大学的回复，其负责人均对图书交换计划表示极大的兴趣，相关准备工作业已在进行之中。我们相信，这些图书交换计划不仅能使我们的读者更方便地获取到本地不易求得的学术资源，更重要的是有益于我馆与这些学术机构建立良好的合作关系，以期开展更多深层次的交流活动。
