We are proud to announce that the Phase 1 of the Library Revitalization Project on the 3/F & P/F has been completed. Do come and explore our new services and facilities!
The newly renovated area on the 3/F is now the Research Enhancement Centre (REC). The Information Services Section has moved to the REC with expanded service dimensions. In the Centre, professional Librarians continue to provide information expertise to users and serve as partners of researchers in the information searching and management process.
The Research Help Desk is the place where professional librarians assist researchers with different information needs in the research cycle; and the Service & Technical Support Desk provides enquiry support on IT and other library services, such as ILL and Document Delivery.
Faculty/Schools Librarians provide Information Consultancy service; give advice to users on the use of online resources, the Reference Collection, and an array of research tools.
Facilities and applications are available in the Research Enhancement Center to supplement the research process:
33 network connected workstations installed with highly specialized software applications. Wireless printing is also available in the vicinity.
85 research carrels for PG, research & academic staff
