The Library previously held our first-ever “My Favorite Library Resource” activity, inviting our staff and students to send us a short paragraph about their favourite library resources.
We are glad to present the favourites collected from this activity and the participants' comments on these resources through our thematic webpage. We wish the sharing will help you discover your favourite from our rich Library collections!
In addition, our “Learn+Reward: Library New Year Contest” was held at the start of this Spring Term. The contest has ended successfully. The Library is overwhelmed by the enthusiastic support of the students! To show our gratitude to our users, we have doubled the number of winners from 100 to 200, and all winners have been born! We hoped that participants of this activity had gained a better understanding of the resources in the E-Library, better still, would use them effectively in their studies.
