In accordance with the XJTLU Fixed Assets Management Policy and to improve our service, a full stocktaking has been successfully completed from 14th June to 5th July 2022. During the period, the circulation service had been temporarily suspended in order to ensure the accuracy of stocktaking data and results. This time, a total of more than 600,000 books were been inventoried and 13 staff involved in the stocktaking and data processing.

XJTLU Library conducted a field survey of the Taicang campus
In order to better know the ongoing construction process of the Taicang campus, XJTLU Library conducted a field survey of the Taicang campus on July 20th, 2022. It indicated that the scale of Taicang Library has been preliminarily completed, and the furniture has not yet entered the site. The whole process is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Through the on-site survey, the Library staff proposed modified requirements for some details, thus Taicang responsible party can make subsequent adjustments to optimize the user experience.
