NCL Attends the 2011 Annual Meeting of WDL Partners

The U.S. Library of Congress and the Bavarian State Library co-hosted the 2011 Annual Meeting of World Digital Library Partners from November 14-15 in Munich, Germany. National Central Library’s Director-general Shu-hsien Tseng attended the meeting and gave a lecture during the Partner Initiatives section on the second day. Her topic was “Web initiatives, mobile applications, and digital or print reproductions of rare Chinese books at National Central Library.” Important topics discussed at the meeting included the selection and addition of content, future enhancements of the WDL website, recruitment of new partners, digital library capacity building in the developing world, and user engagement and outreach. National Central Library was formally invited to participate in the WDL project in 2008, providing information about its unique collections. It also shared precious resources with the world and attended the 2009 launching of WDL’s website in Paris, France. The first formal partner meeting was convened in 2010 in Washington DC. In addition to attending this year’s meeting, Director-general Tseng also visited the Bavarian State Library, the University of Munich’s library, the Munich Public Library, and the Ulm Public Library as a way to understand Germany’s important libraries and their services, and further NCL’s cooperative exchanges.
