(2 Feb 2024) Taiwan’s National Central Library (NCL) swore in its new director-general Wang Han-ching (王涵青) on Thursday. She will be leaving her post as University Librarian of the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Library, per CNA.
In her speech, Wang said she hoped the library can continue providing access to information to the general public. By integrating library collections, research exploration, and STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and mathematics) literacy, she plans to develop new thinking in both the humanities and sciences across generations.
Wang said she intends to build on the strategy for 2021-2030 by incorporating the six core values of “knowledge, culture, learning, experience, innovation, and cooperation” with 10 new focuses. These are “energetic, tolerant, cultivating, appreciation, humanities, science, aesthetics, interdisciplinary, creativity, and practice.”
