With the arrival of the new 4-year undergraduate curriculum in 2012/13, this is a very exciting time for our ever-expanding CUHK community.  We are particularly proud to introduce new services upon the opening of the new Main Library Extension and the new Architecture Library.  New Learning Commons facilities are available in the lower ground of the new Extension and in the TITB Building, with much longer opening hours.  In addition, we have provided a highly innovative Research Commons on the first floor of the Main Library specifically zoned to accommodate the needs of post-graduates and researchers.

The Library is pleased to announce the launch of the eLearning Resources website, which aims to promote eLearning activities by providing a centralized access point to quality online multimedia learning resources published or co-published by CUHK Faculty members.  It currently provides hyperlinks to over 400 online video clips of lectures, seminars, and laboratory and computer skills demonstrations published by various academic departments.  It also contains information about local and international examinations, such as IELTS, Common Recruitment Exam, etc.  Online courses on subject-based information literacy skills and resources on language learning are also included.

After attending any five courses on information research skills, you will be granted a Library Information Literacy Certificate by the Library.  Students, in groups of ten or more, can request library courses to suit their information needs and schedules.

The University Library will offer intensive courses from October to December 2012 to assist students in preparing for the Information Literacy Section of the Student IT Proficiency Test.

The course provides not only an overview of the Web-based Information Literacy Tutorial, but also includes exercises and practice tests in:

1. Formulating search strategies.
2. Finding information using the Library Catalogue, research databases and the Internet.
3. Evaluating information sources.

Jointly presented by Chung Chi College and the University Library System at Chung Chi College Elizabeth Luce Moore Library and Tang Ngan Leng Centre for General Science Education from October 11, 2012 to December 16, 2012.
