The plan was devised to promote reading among the public in an effective way and to implement a series of life-long learning programs, disseminate information via the media, preserve the local cultural heritage and enhance leisure and cultural activities sponsored by the library. After six years of hard work, the Taipei Public Library has implemented many innovative plans providing for innovative services, abundant reading resources, lively promotional activities, and pleasant reading environments to foster the habit of reading among the Taipei public. Taipei has repeatedly been chosen as the best city in Taiwan by Tian-xia Magazine, and it was rated the nation’s best in overall reading competitiveness by Vision Magazine in 2010. Reading brings a distinctive charm to Taipei City.In recent years, Taipei society has undergone numerous transformations. The city’s low birth rate and the ever-growing number of seniors and new immigrants have changed the demographics, compelling the library to offer a more diversified range of services. With significant advances in communication technology and internet services, the appearance of Google, IM software, and social networking sites such as Facebook has changed the face of marketing and the provision of services. Moreover, in light of the economic recession, the public has made an increasing number of demands on the public library for life-time learning resources. For all the above changes and in keeping with the library’s motto of “a library for all”, in March 2010 the Taipei Public Library formed a strategic planning committee for the purpose of conducting a comprehensive evaluation and examination of the library’s present management strategy. After a series of studies and discussions, the suggestions and advice of experts and scholars, an analysis of the service environment and a SWOT analysis of the library, the strategic plan was revised, while adhering to original framework, to the “Taipei Public Library Strategic Plan for 2011-2015.” The plan offers high-quality services to meet future public demands, to develop a more diversified range of service resources, and to improve service quality, so that the Taipei public will have a more comfortable and enjoyable reading environment.Ⅱ: The Planning Process1. Forming the executive committeeThe Director of the Library serves as the coordinator of the committee. A total of eight meetings have been held since March 2010.2. Analysis of the present state of the libraryEvaluate and analyze the present strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O) and threats (T) for the reference of strategic planning.3. Analysis of the environment of Taipei CityEvaluate and analyze the projected effects of future development trends of Taipei City that may impact the public’s need for information: demographics, road construction, urban development, revenue and expenditures, publications, education, and information technology.4. Analysis of professional trends in library science and librarianshipIn response to the rapid development of information technology and dynamic social changes, an analysis of trends in library and information management with respect to the following six aspects is intended to ensure effective future planning and high quality library services: public demands and expectations of library functions, the specific tasks and role of the library, operations and management, technical services, reader services, reading environment and professional skills of librarians. 5. Soliciting opinionsOn May 5, 2010 the Taipei Public Library requested librarians to offer suggestions concerning the strategic plan and enlist the suggestions and opinions of administrators on the current status of library affairs and plans for future development. On June 25, at the first consultative meeting devoted to the development of library affairs, the consultants were asked to give their professional advice on future prospects, tasks, values, and objectives of the library as an important frame of reference for revising the strategic plan.Ⅲ: Contents1.VisionTo build up a lively city with a public who enjoys reading and is enthusiastic about learning2.MissionTo create a warm, welcoming, efficient and innovative public library of high quality, which serves as a community learning center and meets the learning and personal growth demands of the general public, through a dedicated team of professional librarians, updated and abundant resources, a comfortable environment and conveniently accessible facilities3.Value(1) To increase the value of the library’s diversified and rich collections(2) To meet new service demands of readers of all ages(3) To provide readers with new methods for more convenient access to a full range of resources (4) To build up a dedicated, positive, innovative and professional team (5) To utilize new ideas and technologies to offer a broader range of new and innovative services 4.Objectives, strategies, implementation plans and committeesObjective 1: The Library aims to offer collections of good quality and sufficient quantity to meet the diverse needs of its readers.Strategy 1: Enrich library collections by increasing the number and types of books and by appealing more broadly to readers’ demands.Plan of Action1.

After the establishment of the Nationalist Government in Taipei, the abovementioned four libraries were merged into the Taipei Municipal Library, according to the regulations of The Organizational Rules of Taiwan Provincial Xien and City Libraries in 1952. In 1967, as Taipei City was upgraded to the status of Subordinate Metropolis to the Executive Yuan, the Library thus received great support to provide its services. In 1978, under the Government Cultural Construction Planning, the Library made a big stride forward, reaching a new milestone. Especially important was the opening of the new main library building in 1990; it provides the citizens of Taipei with a rapidly developing library and information service. At present, the Library has one Main Library, 44 branches, 12 neighborhood reading rooms, 7 intelligent libraries, and 9 FastBook - automatic book stops located in metropolitan Taipei. Future OutlookWe follow the motto of "Schooling for youth, university for young people and a self-education center for adults", which was the goal in the founding of our public library. The Taipei Public Library continually endeavors to offer better services to our readers, in the hope of meeting the new era of changing technology, and to make the Library and people's lives as closely interwoven as possible, in order to become a valuable social learning institution, a "social university."For the future, the Library has the following plans:To comply with the administrative planning of the City of Taipei, to promote the spirit of teamwork, to play the role of enhancing communication between the Taipei City Government and the citizens;To enrich the functions of our Branch Libraries across metropolitan Taipei, to provide diverse, specialized, computerized yet human services, to satisfy the information needs of the community;To set up special service departments, to develop a vast collection of Chinese and foreign languages materials, to invite specialists to provide, elite and specialized information consultant services;To provide active, vivid, diverse services for children, youth, the elderly, handicapped people, and foreigners to meet their special demands;To raise the functions of the information and networking system, to build an electronic and digital library, to welcome the 2lst Century era of a networked and computerized society;To increase service quality and change the whole image of the Library for the better, to examine the Library's organizational structure and human resources with the aim of expanding the Library's services.", "Files": [], "Links": [], "Pictures": [], "Movies": [], "Publish Department": "Taipei Public Library" }, { "DataSN": "7541782", "ArticleType": "0", "FileName": "", "Link": "", "Source": "https://english.tpml.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=3467865E86069447&s=54DEB2A93C55925A", "title": "Organization", "Content": "Director　Former Directors Deputy DirectorChief SecretaryAcquisition and Cataloging SectionDuties: collection, purchase, registration, classification, cataloging and exchange of reading materialsContact number: 2709-0964Email:  cod@email.tpml.edu.tw Circulation & Preservation SectionDuties: shelving, displaying, and checking out books, maps and documents; reminding borrowers to return reading materials Contact number: 2706-4811Email:  coe@email.tpml.edu.tw Reference Services SectionDuties: collection and management of reference resources, answering reference-related questions, document relay services, adult education information services and answering questions concerning studying abroad Contact number: 2755-3554Email:  cof@email.tpml.edu.tw Extension SectionDuties: surveys and statistics, research and experiments, inspection and guidance, promotional activities, exhibitions and lectures, advertisements, guided tours, books on tour, librarian training and services for the visually-impaired Contact number: 2709-1605Email:  cog@email.tpml.edu.tw Audiovisual SectionDuties: collection, compilation, production, reproduction and custody of audiovisual resources; checking out audiovisual resources and reminding borrowers to return them; arranging and showing audiovisual programs; management and maintenance of audiovisual equipment Contact number: 2755-2823 ext 2802Email:  coh@email.tpml.edu.tw Systems Administration OfficeDuties: data analysis, registration, input; planning of information systems, programming; research on the application of computers; operation and maintenance of machines Contact number: 2702-0390Email:  coi@email.tpml.edu.tw Administration OfficeDuties: documents, stamps, assets, cashier, general affairs, research and assessment, construction and repair, management and maintenance of electrical and mechanical equipment. Contact number: 2755-4446Email: coj@email.tpml.edu.tw Personnel OfficeDuties: handling personnel matters in accordance with the law Contact number: 2707-5744Email:  cok@email.tpml.edu.tw Accounting OfficeDuties: handling budget, accounting and statistical matters in accordance with the law Contact number: 2709-0894 Email:  com@email.tpml.edu.tw Government Ethics OfficeDuties: handling ethical matters in accordance with the law Contact number: 2709-1642Email:  col@email.tpml.edu.tw  * For a more detailed list of contact numbers, click here  ", "Files": [], "Links": [], "Pictures": [], "Movies": [], "Publish Department": "Taipei Public Library" } ]
