The National Palace Museum Library collects bookform materials on humanities, mainly Chinese visual arts, archaeology, bibliographies, culture, history; and also provides inhouse loan services for Chinese rare books and Ch'ing government documents. However, the Museum Library has not yet compiled reference tools for these materials, actually useful reference materials in the fields of Chinese humanities are still not enough.
The Museum Library is trying to establish computerized systems for various fields, such as bibliographies and indexes for bookform materials as well as visual materials (image and text databases) in order to search materials more efficiently and to make the Humanities study more scientific. These works could be the foundation for the future electronic library.
