The library has signed an agreement with the National Central Library of Taiwan for the Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies (TRCCS), which will offer access to a wide range of materials for ULS patrons and the Pitt community related to Taiwan's history, culture, politics, society, and other relevant topics.
