iReading

In order to facilitate a more accessible book-sharing channel between the general public and students, a Facebook-integrated online book-sharing platform called 'iReading' was established in November 2014. Members register and log in using their Facebook accounts, communicate book-sharing information through Facebook groups, and then apply for book-sharing delivery through the iReading website.

Each donated book on the website can be tracked by the system to expand the benefits of shared book resources. In addition to online activities, we have also organized physical gatherings to introduce book-sharing to more people. Since 2014, we have held 9 book-sharing meet-ups and 2 book-sharing days. As of March 31, 2023, the platform has provided a total of 6,720 books with 16,806 delivery records. Apart from used books, the platform also offers new publications to keep the book collection up-to-date.

Our university library has a collection of approximately 175,766 books. To provide alumni and retired faculty with more convenient borrowing services, we have opened library card applications. As of June 16, 2023, a total of 1,181 alumni and 35 retired faculty members have obtained library cards, borrowing a total of 97,572 books.
