The Introduction of Aletheia University Library

The library was first established in the White House (known as the International House) in September, 1965, belonging to the Office of Academic Affairs. The library facilitated the mission of the college by providing resources and services that enhanced the academic research environment. The five-story library building was completed in 1973. In August 1995, the Ministry of Education approved the reorganization of Tamsui Oxford College into Tamsui Oxford University College . The English name was changed from Tamsui Oxford College Library to Tamsui Oxford University College Library. On August 1, 1999 , the Ministry of Education approved the new name, Aletheia University ; therefore, the library was also renamed as Aletheia University Library. In 2001, the library in Matou campus was completed and launched in June the same year.

In order to manage the resources and enhance the teaching and research services, our library installed a computerized system(ILIS) in 1992. In 1996, the CPLINS system provided the easy access to our library collections. Since 2003, our library has been upgraded to the most advanced Virtua system to continue providing services which most effectively meet the needs of faculty, students and the community. In 2005, it made wireless online access available.In 2015, the library automation system was replaced as M7.
