DUBLIN, Ohio, 04 November 2025Taipei National University of the Arts has selected WorldShare Management Services (WMS) as its new library services platform to streamline library operations, enhance cataloging efficiency, and prepare for future growth.

Taipei National University of the Arts was initially founded in 1982, as the National Institute of the Arts. In 2001, the institution was reorganized into a university and was renamed as Taipei National University of the Arts. The university offers a comprehensive range of programs in music, fine arts, theatre, dance, cultural resources, and film and new media.

"WorldCat can help us to significantly streamline library operations, especially as we look to the future," noted the library team at Taipei National University of the Arts. "The WMS system is smooth, with a clean and user-friendly interface. We value that OCLC is a member-driven organization, and OCLC's services in Taiwan provide us with a strong sense of trust."

WMS is a cloud-based library services platform that helps libraries manage their collections, streamline workflows, and improve user experience. Built on a foundation of shared data and community collaboration, WMS gives libraries access to WorldCat, the world's most comprehensive resource for information about library collections.

"We're very pleased to welcome Taipei National University of the Arts to the WorldShare community," said Eric van Lubeek, Managing Director, EMEA & APAC, OCLC. "Their commitment to excellence in arts education aligns with our mission to help libraries serve their communities most effectively. We look forward to supporting their important work in fostering Taiwan's cultural heritage and artistic innovation."
