Services

  1. Reserve collection
    Red-spot books (2-hour loan) for Chinese Division’s courses are shelved in the Reserves area situated beside the counter. To take the red-spot books out of the room, users will need to borrow them at the counter.
  2. Loans
    Users can borrow books through the self-service checkout machine. For your convenience, books can be returned at the counter or the Book Drop located outside HSS Library. Please note that you may return your books to any library, though it would considerably shorten the turnaround time if you were to return a book to the library where you have borrowed from.
  3. Computing facilities
    Five Express PC stations and 16 network PCs are available for users to access e-journals, databases and other electronic resources. Microsoft Office 2007 productivity suite (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Superstar Reader, Apabi Reader, etc) are also installed in these computers.
  4. Wireless access
    Users can also bring in their own notebook PCs to access library electronic resources wirelessly. However, if users prefer to use a LAN cable, they can borrow it at the counter.
  5. Facilities
    Photocopying service, scanning and Network printing are provided at the Printing corner.
  6. Other Services
    To meet the diverse needs of users, we offer research assistance, library research workshops and other facilities to support group learning and quiet study.
