| Message from University Librarian | |
Welcome to our first newsletter in this academic year 2026-2027. The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is abuzz with the energy of fresh starts. A very warm welcome to our new students and new staff, as well as those returning for another semester. This year sees the launch of the CUHK 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, laying out our ambition to deliver impact-oriented outcomes and lasting societal contributions. We are consulting with our Faculties to lay out our plan for the Library to inspire, inform and support the CUHK community. Our Library has an important role to play in nurturing responsible global citizens and advancing the frontiers of knowledge. I look forward to sharing more about our future direction later in the year. | |

| Feature Article — From Ideas to Impact: Discover the Innovation Zone and 3D Print Hub for Interdisciplinary Learning and Maker Practice | |
Have you ever had an idea you wanted to turn into a physical prototype, or a teaching activity that required new technology to bring to life? To meet the evolving needs of the bright and curious minds of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) community, CUHK Library has upgraded the Learning Garden with the launch of the Innovation Zone and 3D Print Hub. Combining advanced audio-visual technology, digital fabrication tools, and flexible spatial design, these new facilities serve as a vibrant new landmark for CUHK staff and students to inspire creativity, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and turn ideas into hands-on learning experiences.
The renovation project commenced in May 2026 and was completed in mid-September. By converting the former compact mobile shelving area into a forward-looking space for making and discussion, and equipping it with innovative learning tools, the Library delivers a more comfortable and adaptable user experience. .png){kind=small} 3D Print Hub Innovation Zone | |

| Collections Spotlight — Minguo Collection | |
Step into the history of modern China’s transformation through the Minguo Collection at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Library. In the late Qing and early Republican period, intellectual thought flourished and the publishing industry expanded rapidly. Publications from this transformative era have become indispensable primary sources for the study of modern Chinese politics, society, and culture. Our Minguo Collection at CUHK Library brings together a rich array of publications and related historical materials from the Republican period, encompassing politics, history, economics, education, culture and popular entertainment. More than 1,300 titles from the Collection have already been made accessible through the Digital Repository, illuminating the historical and cultural development of the time. Let's take a closer look at some of these treasures | |
