Nie Hua－Deputy Director, Peking University Library
In 2008, out of the increased mass digitization demands of the University, the Library established the University Digitization Center and one of the two University Data Centers. The goals are to centralize the digitization activities on the campus, to discover and preserve the institutional information resources, and to reinforce implementation of standards and as well as cooperation among different units on the campus.
After years of efforts, Peking University Library now hosts a sizable amount of digital contents. Among them are several local developed digital collections: Ancient Rare Materials Database; Beijing Historical Geography Database; PKU Scholars Database; PKU ETD; PKU Lectures Online, etc. Upon the establishment of the University Digitization Center and the Data Center Library Site, the library started several new digital projects in 2009. One of them is the Min Guo Newspapers and Journals (Newspapers and Journals of the Republic of China).
