We Have Upgraded Anatomy.TV
The Library has recently upgraded an essential interactive teaching/learning tool of anatomy via the Anatomy.TV.
The upgraded version is delivered on HTML5, which results in a faster, more contemporary, and intuitive platform. More importantly, the platform runs on all modern browsers and devices (OS and Android-driven devices included) and is free from the clunky Flash plug-ins. This means that more users can access the rich interactive contents more conveniently, anywhere, anytime.
We have access to 3 products via Anatomy.TV, namely
- Anatomy & Physiology Online
- 3D anatomy for Speech Language Pathology
- 3D Atlas of Massage & Manual Therapies - NEW!
Contact your Faculty Librarian if you need assistance using the resources.

Library Workshops in December Open for Registration!
The Library will launch a series of workshops on various topics in Dec 2018. Staff and students who are interested in making effective use of information are welcome to join.
Exhibition on Green Deck: A Catalyst for a Green & Vibrant Community 綠化平台展覽: 綠化環境 活化社區
Neighbouring the heavily-loaded Cross Harbour Tunnel, PolyU has long witnessed problems in the vicinity – poor air quality, overloaded footbridge, poor connectivity within the district and lack of open space. The University has thus advocated the construction of a "Green Deck" over the toll plaza of the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel.
Exhibition
Date: 26 November 2018 – 25 January 2019
Venue: P/F, Pao Yue-kong Library
The exhibition will showcase the Green Deck proposal, the related studies conducted by PolyU academic staff as well as stakeholders' feedback collected via a wide variety of programs.
Virtual Reality Display
Date: 27 & 29 November 2018
18 & 20 December 2018
15, 17, 22 & 24 January 2019
Time: 12:30 - 13:30
Venue: Digital Visualization Room, i-Space, 4/F, Pao Yue-kong Library
During the time-slots above, a virtual reality display of Green Deck mock-up will be provided to PolyU community. Immerse yourself in a 360-degree tour and experience a vivid walk-through of the proposed construction.
Visit the exhibition and share your views on Green Deck with other fellow students and staff now!
