UCD Library Collection Spotlight: Chinese New Year - Year of the Goat

RTE's George Lee travelled to China in 2007 and his visit resulted in a four-part documentary series. See a summary of the show below.

UCD James Joyce Library holds a collection of resources donated by the UCD Confucius Institute for Ireland. The mission of the Institute is to work with the Irish government, businesses and academia to develop stronger educational, cultural and commercial links between Ireland and China.

Established in 2006, and located within the UCD Belfield campus, the Institute is a joint venture between the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban), Renmin University of China and UCD. The Confucius Collection includes books on Chinese culture and history, and is housed on Level 2 of the James Joyce Library.
