Issue No. 62 (Nov 2020)
We are almost halfway of the Autumn Term now. In this term, you may not attend face-to-face classes or see your fellow classmates as often as before, still, we hope you could find learning enjoyable and interesting. The Library is also exploring new ways to support you in this “new normal”. We have sourced quality online resources and organized online quizzes to support your new mode of study. We also never stop enhancing our services and facilities in the campus libraries. Let the Library be your best study partner, be it online or offline!
Besides, a brand new interactive whiteboard is now available in the Active Learning Space (ALS) of Stanley Ho Library! The interactive whiteboard allows users to write and annotate directly on the board. By using SMART kapp, your collaborative work can be saved to your personal device and shared to others easily. If you need any assistance on using the interactive whiteboard, please contact library staff at our Service Counters.
This Autumn Term, more quality databases, online magazines and e-books have been handpicked for you and added to the Library Collection. We wish you would find studying and reading ever more convenient and interesting with these new online resources.
