●Introduction and History　　　　　　　
The Tajen University Library was established at the time of the school's founding in 1966. The library was originally housed on the third floor of the old for more and better library facilities, the school began planning and construction of the new Administration and Library Building, which opened in March of 2001. Currently, the Tajen University Library spans 5 stories, contains over 170,000 volumes of books, 700 periodical titles, and 3,000 units of non-book materials including CD ROMs, electronic databases, online full-text journals, audiocassettes and videos etc. The new building weighs in at over 10,000 square meters of space, has a total of 1,000 study desks, and 800 network connection ports. Recently, the library's hours of operation have been extended from 65 to 80 hours per week, including Saturdays (the library remains closed on Sunday and national holidays). In addition to library service and office facilities, the new building boasts a large number of personal research rooms, several group discussion rooms, multimedia rooms, and special library use training rooms, use of which is available to all of the Institution's instructors.

●Administrational Philosophy
At Tajen, we believe that the heart of any academic institution is its library. We consider our library to be essential to the academic and professional development of our students. As a result, our library is the most heavily funded of all departments on campus. Currently, our core collections are:
(1) Health;
(2) Management;
(3) Sports and Recreation Sciences;
(4) Social Services.
In addition, the library, along with the Arts Center, has begun a joint effort to increase collection of humanities materials including literature, history, philosophy, and religion. Our goal is to foster educational research, and encourage independent and critical thinking among our students by providing a large volume of educational resources covering a wide range of disciplines.

●Architecture and Facilities
The Library's architecture is inspired by the spirit of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who believed that a building's furniture should act as a bridge between the facilities and user. To this end, we have designed our library with lots of space, used natural colors and all natural wood furniture. In a further effort to integrate the library resources with its facilities, we have integrated numerous Internet connection ports, allowing easy access to the World Wide Web from virtually anywhere in the building.
