The Library is pleased to share the following updates with you.
One-Stop Service Point
Starting 21 Dec 2024 (Sat), we will have a centralized service point at the G/F Service Counter. This means you can handle all your library needs at one location, including:
Borrowing regular items
Getting External Reader Cards
Collecting Alumni Reader or Borrower Cards
Picking up interlibrary loans
Borrowing iPads and laptops
Checking out Course Reserve materials
Lost & found services
Meanwhile, to better align with users’ preferred practices, we are going cashless. The Library will only accept Octopus payments at the counter as we transition to a cashless system. We are also working on introducing additional mobile payment options, which will be available next year.
Course Reserve Materials
From 23 Dec 2024 (Mon), you can find high-demand course readings in the closed stack Course Reserve on the G/F. You can borrow these materials for three hours and use them outside the Library. Here’s how to access them:
Go to the “Course Resources” tab on the Library homepage.
Look for items’ location marked “Course Reserve G/F”.
Note down the call number and title of the items you want.
Visit the G/F Service Counter and provide this information to the staff.
The staff will retrieve the items and check them out for you.
Thank you for your understanding and continuous support of the Library!
