The University has established a new School of Law and the University Library is currently creating a new Law Library to support the legal information needs of students and staff on the 4th Floor of the Tin Ka Ping Building (TKP 4/F).  The Collection is currently located on TKP 3/F but will be relocated to TKP 4/F when the new Law Library is completed. 

As TKP 3/F needs to be cleared of books and shelving to allow for the installation of compact shelving, the law collection will be packed and stored for the duration of the renovations.  This process will start in May after the exams and the Law Library will re-open on TKP 4/F in the last week of August ready for the September semester. 

So that staff and students can gain access to important texts, the Library will locate a copy of each prescribed textbook on Law School reading lists to the University Library Reserve collection during the period of the renovations.  They will be available for 3-day loan.  All online services will still be available as normal for access from on or off campus.

When the Law Library is completed, it will contain over 100 seats including six group study rooms.  There will also be an Information Commons and research area fitted out with 44 PCs and a separate information desk to service law related enquiries.

Although the Law Library is still in its development phase, it is rapidly building up to contain an extensive collection of specialised law materials in both print and electronic formats.  The collection will include a range of primary and secondary materials for Hong Kong, the UK, China and other major common law countries.
