The Japan Foundation engages in facilitating research and educational environment of the Beijing Center for Japanese Studies, aiming for its user service improvement including expansion of public access within China. Being a part of the supporting activities to foster human resources, the Foundation invited the Center's librarians Yongzhi Liu and Jinhui Liu to Japan and offered them the opportunities to take a training program for librarians (acknowledged by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan) and to visit various libraries at universities and research institutions in Japan.
With their tireless efforts, Yongzhi Liu successfully earned a librarian certification of Japan in October 2013, and so did Jinhui Liu in October 2014 .They currently work hard at their daily tasks for further development of the Center's library.
