Due to the refurbishment works to improve the study environment over the summer break, 4/F and part of the 3/F of the University Library will be closed from May 14 to August 13, 2007.  Please ask at the Circulation Counter at the G/F of the Library if you need to retrieve books from the stacks in these areas.

The University Library is pleased to offer intensive courses from May to June 2007 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 practices in (1) formulating search strategies, (2) finding information using the Library Catalogue, research databases and the Internet, and (3) evaluating information sources.
