The “NSTM Newsletter” is Going Bilingual Online The NSTM Newsletter is issued to serve as a bridge between the museum and the general public, promoting exhibitions and science education activities in the museum, as well as relaying news about the museum.

The first trial issue was published in February 2000. The bimonthly publication came in the form of tri-fold brochure and was named “the Info Stall.” It contained contents such as “Introduction to Special Exhibition”, “Event News”, “NSTM Concert”, “Scientific Demonstration”, “Technology Education Activities”, the “Timetable for the Visual-Audio Library Group Viewing Room”, and more.

As the number of special exhibitions and educational activities increased, the newsletter was expanded to become a five-fold brochure in February 2002; its content was published on the museum’s website as well, granting people easy access to it. The museum compiled publications such as “the Info Stall”, “e-Bulletin”, and “Volunteer Bulletin” after May 2002, and renamed the newsletter “NSTM Newsletter.” The newsletter remained a bimonthly publication and was transformed into a 14-page pamphlet, including contents such as “Words from the Director General”, “Special Exhibition Report”, “Technology Education Activities”, “Volunteers Bulletin”, “Introduction to New Movies”, and so on. The newsletter targeted the general public and institutions; it was published to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the museum.

Following a change to the museum’s acronym in May 2003, the newsletter was retitled the “Technology Museum Bulletin.” Contents were presented through columns such as “Words from the Director General”, “Featured Events”, “Event Preview”, “Live Report”, “In-Depth Report”, and so on. The publication was again renamed as the “NSTM Newsletter” in January 2015.

The “NSTM Newsletter” is a seven-fold brochure. Six issues are published every year, with the total number of issuances reaching 130,000. Visitors have responded to the newsletter positively so far; the newsletter is also available at other locations such as hotels, airports, train stations, and bookstores. The newsletter features “Words from the Director General”, “Exhibition Information”, “Research on Collections”, “Technology Education Activities”, “Floor Map”, “General Information”, and more. To adapt to the e-marketing and paperless operation trend, the museum created an electronic version of the “NSTM Newsletter” as well, allowing the general public to access it using the QR code. Such design helps the NSTM appear a close friend to people whom they believe can get to know effortlessly.
