After compiling a computer database for the Chinese and Western Languages Periodical Bound Volumes, in order to solve the problem of lack of space, the library had bought 4 bookshelves for 7,980 books in the second half of May. During July and August, the library carried out an inventory on 46,682 books, 1,672 discs and 1,212 pamphlets altogether and found 491 books missing.

In the fall semester of 2007, the library hosted a series of events to promote its resources under the theme of “Theology, Reading, Life”. There are three categories of the events: 1) e-newspaper - starting from October 2007, the library has been sending e-newsletters to readers which contain information of newly published Chinese Christian books, Christian seminars, CES library news and selected articles on specific topics; 2) e-resources and Bible software usage courses – the library had arranged talks on ATLA Religion Database & ATLASerials, BibleWorks 7.0, Word Biblical Commentary on CD-ROM and The Word, etc, in the hope of enhancing the utility rate of the e-resources of the library; 3) seminars on specific topic – in November 2007 and February 2008, two seminars, “The Song to Worship” and “Analyzing Yourself Through Communication”, were held in the Center for Missions respectively. The library had exhibited books and audio-visual materials relating to the seminars.

Furthermore, the library had started updating its homepage since November and had finished in the early April 2008. Users can not only check out information of books and periodicals through the new homepage, by adding a page of e-resources, they can now access to our online database and read e-periodicals and e-books. Also, the problem of too small the size of words has been improved.
