This study tries to integrate the major resources of textbook researches in Taiwan into a database that serves as a reference to those who are concerned with the related topics. Apart from solving the technical aspect of the setting up of this database, the author, in addition, takes a critical study of literature review in the database. By looking into the trend of international textbook researches, the major contributions and limitations of textbook research in Taiwan are compared with those of other countries. It is suggested that the establishment of a textbook research institute should lead to plan, cultivate, evaluate, reward and apply important textbook researches so as to enrich methodologies and to promote and achieve a higher professional status in this field.
