The NCL Center for Chinese Studies (CCS) participated in the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) annual meeting and Book Fair which was held in USA, Seattle at the Washington State Convention Center in March 31 to April 3. At the book fair, the CCS exhibited publications and DVDs from Taiwan published these past three years on humanities and social sciences related to Chinese and Taiwan Studies, a total of 513 volumes, 465 titles.

Thousands of people participated in the annual meeting. There were 360 forums and keynote lectures. Participants were researchers in Asian studies from universities in the United States, librarians and Asian academic researchers from around the world, and publishing institutions as well. The NCL hopes that through this Book Fair, international Sinologists may get to better know the achievements of Taiwan Chinese Studies research and the current publishing situation thereby strengthening academic cooperation and exchanges.

Besides allowing scholars from around the world to browse through the books and materials exhibited and make orders as well, after the conference, the books exhibited were donated to the University of Washington and the University of Oregon to enrich their respective library collections, providing local researchers with related resource materials.
