The University Library will organize a summer certificate course on information literacy skills from May 23 to 30, 2006.  After attending any 4 lessons, participants will be granted a certificate by the Library.

Starting from the 04/05 academic year, the Library has strengthened the online learning component of its postgraduate research skill course on 'Observing Intellectual Property and Copyright Law during Research'. More than 1,200 postgraduate students have completed the online course in the last two years.  Evaluation by CLEAR of students' perception of the usefulness of the course has been very positive. 

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. 

To facilitate users in locating circulating books in the University Library, this coming summer the University Library will undergo an extensive exercise to inter-shelve all circulating books in all languages.  Throughout the exercise, the circulating books collection will remain open for the use of readers.   Users may always ask at the Circulation Counter, G/F, University Library for assistance in locating the books they want whenever necessary.

The Info Access User Group Meeting 2006 was successfully held on April 25, 2006 at the Cho Yiu Hall of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. 

More than 70 participants from overseas, mainland China, Macau and local libraries attended this whole day meeting.  Besides exchanging ideas and sharing views on the development of electronic resources, a total of eight presentations, ranging from academic initiatives to electronic database introductions, were arranged.
