The Library offers a range of workshops for staff and students to acquire essential information and research skills, as well as to effectively apply databases for their studies. Library souvenirs will be distributed to participants attending a face-to-face workshop.
*First-year Mainland students are required by the Registry to attend at least one English workshop from the Language Centre, and attending any of the face-to-face library workshops co-organized with the Centre also count toward fulfilling this requirement.
Registration is required in advance, as seats are limited. If the workshop is conducted online, a Zoom link will be sent after registration. A login is required to view the previous materials, and handouts and recordings are provided subject to the organizer’s rights.
