Periodicals and newspapers are the most rapid media for conveying information and the results of research developments. They are also the most important media of recording recent developments in the humanities, social sciences and technology fields, making them the most frequently sought materials by readers. This plan aims at digitizing about 1,000 periodicals and 30 newspapers published in Taiwan within five years to facilitate public access and preserve these materials.
