About NCL Taiwan Periodical Literature Database System

The indexing service to Chinese periodicals by the National Central Library, Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as NCL) was initiated from 1970 in printed version. In 1980s, the library automation system had been well adopted in most libraries in Taiwan, NCL hence started to convert the printed indices into electronic files. In 1993, as an experimental stage, NCL provided online searches of articles within NCL, and began to provide online searches over the Internet the next year. In 1998, NCL once collaborated with a contracted company to provide fee-based fulltext image files retrieval services named ‘Remote Electronic Access / Delivery (service) of National Central Library’ (abbreviated as READncl). This service model provided different level of services through two sub-database systems: the ‘Current Contents Database System’ was for search of table of contents only, and the ‘Chinese Periodicals Full-text image Database System’ was for placing applications for document delivery services. In 2005, these two database systems were merged and renamed as ‘Index to Chinese Periodical Literature’；article searches and use of all those open access (OA granted) articles became toll-free for all people nationally and internationally. In 2010, in considering that the periodicals contained in this database were mainly published in Taiwan, it was renamed into ‘PerioPath: Index to Taiwan Periodical Literature’. In other words, the name of this database has been changed several times upon its service model change.

From 2019 to 2020, in response to the fast-developing information technology, NCL has conducted renovation project for this important database system, aiming to accommodate with most up-to-date interface design principles, in addition, to provide more friendly functionalities, and to incorporate bibliometrics information at search results, etc. The renovated version of this database system was launched to serve for all globally from March 2021, marks a memorable milestone in the long development history of this NCL Taiwan Periodical Literature Database System.
