To make room for more study space, the Library is in the process of relocating low used books and journals from Compact Store 1 & 2 to a remote store in Kwun Tong. Those items will be temporarily unavailable to users in these 2-3 months. In the case you need to use those materials, please consider borrowing them from HKALL or access their e-journal version, if available. For assistance, please contact the Enquiry Desk on P/F or Research Help Desk on 3/F of the Library.
The previous compact shelving areas will be converted into user space for private study and discussions. A request service for those books and journal articles will be provided once the remote store is ready. We are sorry for any inconvenience that may cause to you.
You may now renew your loans of Library books and AV items on iPhone or smartphone using the new iPolyU App or AirPac respectively. When performing the online renewals, remember to check the new due date of your loans to make sure your renewals are successful. You may also double check your borrowing status in "My Account" on iPolyU App or AirPac.
