It is one of the earliest regional chapters outside North America. In the subsequent year, the Taipei Student Chapter was also established, composed mainly of graduate students from National Taiwan University and National Taiwan Normal University. It won the Best Student Chapter Award in 1988. Pioneers in information science in Taiwan, including <b>Harris B. H. Seng</b>, <b>Lucy Tee-Chu Lee</b>, <b>James S. C. Hu</b> and <b>Margaret Fung</b>, have been and are still playing crucial roles in facilitating local participation in the global community. Today, the Taipei Chapter has grown to be one of the strongest library and information science professional associations in Taiwan. It continues its mission to promote Taiwan in collaborating and networking with leading intellectuals around the world. In 2016, ASIS&amp;T Taipei was under the guidance of <b>Ming-Hsin Phoebe Chiu</b>, chair; <b>Tien-I Tsai</b>, vice chair; and <b>Wei-Chung Cheng</b>, secretary.</p><p>Faculty members and graduate students from five different LIS schools in Taiwan participated in the research forum and reception.

The topics ranged from library user services and user behavior, scholarly communication and scientific collaboration, information behavior and user experience, to health informatics, bibliometrics and information repositories. In addition to the presentations, there was a social refreshment session for attendees to exchange research ideas. At the end of the event, Connaway mentored the participants on the art of five-minute madness and speaking in academic contexts and also shared tips for junior faculty and recent Ph.D. graduates on preparing for academic careers.</p><p>Prior to her visit to Taiwan, Connaway also visited China and Hong Kong.
