• Prizes for Students Participating in Library Orientation

A total of 1,317 students had attended the undergraduate orientation sessions “Knowledge Discovery in the Library and Beyond 2010” conducted between July and September 2010. All the participants of the orientation were automatically entered into a lucky draw for an iPod. There were three winners.


 Sharing from the Participants:

	Miss Pun Chun In (Year 1, Institute of Textiles & Clothing) The Library Orientation helps me to understand more about the Library, and makes me find books more easily and get to know other library resources such as HKALL, past examination papers and so on; they are definitely useful resources for my assignments.
	Mr. Wong Chi On (Year 1, School of Nursing) I recommend all new students to attend it once they start their student lives in the University.  It helps me to have a better understanding of how to make use of the vast and useful resources provided by the Library for quality projects and assignments. Also, I was so happy to have won an iPod!
