The Library will launch the new iBooking System and implement the related booking policy on 17 July 2023 to give users a better experience when reserving Library facilities. The new iBooking System provides a mobile responsive interface with new or enhanced features as follows:

• All-in-one Booking
  You can view and reserve booking sessions for various library facilities in one place, including computers, Group Rooms, Group Viewing Rooms, Online Meeting Rooms, Studios and Makerspace facilities (e.g. 3D printing and laser cutting devices). 
   
• Flexible Booking Session
  30-minute session is provided for Online Meeting Rooms, Group Rooms and Studios. Eligible users can reserve these facilities up to 4 sessions per day and have greater flexibility to choose the start and end times.
   
• Advance Booking and Weekly Quota
  Eligible users can book Online Meeting Rooms and Studios for online meetings/interviews or video production up to 7 days in advance.  To ensure the fair use of these facilities, the Library will introduce weekly booking quota as follows:
  • Undergraduate students & General Grade staff: A maximum of 12 sessions per week*.
  • Postgraduate students & academic/research/administrative staff of equivalent status: A maximum of 16 sessions per week*.
    *from Monday to Sunday 
     
• iCalendar Support
  An iCalendar reminder will be available in your booking confirmation email.

Due to the system upgrade, the iBooking service will be temporarily unavailable from 9pm on 16 July (Sun) to 8:30am on 17 July 2023 (Mon). Your booking(s) in the current system will be migrated to the new system accordingly.
