Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
The University Library occupies a central location close to the University's
entrance Piazza, commanding a spectacular sea view. There are five floors with
over 10,000 square metres of floor space, providing 1,850 seats. The Library
provides seminar
rooms for meetings and instruction, areas for group study, and reading tables
and study carrels for individual use. A classroom and a computer lab
containing PCs and Macintoshes are available for training sessions.
Audio-visual materials, both
educational and recreational, are available for use in specially equipped
facilities.
As an integral component of the academic programs, the Library supports the
University's teaching and research in science, engineering, business and
management,the humanities and the social sciences. The Library is much more
than
a repository for the
accumulated knowledge of our civilization; it serves as the heart of our
intellectual enterprise.
The rapid development of the University requires a correspondingly rapid
rate of growth in its library collection. In 1998, the Library has a
collection of approximately 500,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals,
as well as a sizable collection of
electronic and non-print materials. Reaching beyond local holdings, the
Library has made extensive provisions for various applications of the latest
information technology. The Library Online System forms a part of the
campus-wide network, and is
therefore accessible from every part of the campus. Through the Library
Online System users are able to consult a broad range of bibliographic and
full-text information as well as to search CD-ROM databases. The University
Library is linked via
telecommunications to libraries and databases in institutions locally and
overseas.
The Library places equal emphasis on the provision of quality services for
its users. An experienced staff assists patrons in a variety of ways, from
the selection, acquisition, and cataloging of materials to providing
assistance in using the
collection, online services and interlibrary loans. We encourage you to
become familiar with our user-friendly online system and also to explore the
wealth of materials available in the Library's collection. The Library staff
are committed to meeting
the varied needs of this academic community. To assist you, a self-guided
computer tour of the Library is located on a Macintosh near the entrance,
and a library orientation video is available from Media Resources.
