The National Central Library (NCL) has launched “International Workshop for Professional Librarians” once every two years for enhancing academic exchange among East Asian Libraries and Chinese Studies Institutes since 2009. Topics were “Sinological Resources Applications and Services” (2009), “Sinological Resources and Services” (2011), “Preservation and Innovation of Special Collections and Archives” (2013), and “From Ancient Times to the Present: Preservation of Ancient Chinese Books and Development of Contemporary Chinese Digital Resources”(2015), “Nations' Memories and Archives Management”(2017), and “Development and Application of Digital Humanities”(2019) respectively.

In 2021, the 7th online Workshop “Successful Library Cases in the World,” will be opened to all professional librarians around the globe.

The themes of this year's online workshop include:

1. Development of Librarianship in 2021;
2. Cases Sharing from NCL's TRCCS Partners;
