Use of official university email account for receiving Library notices
The Library uses the email address assigned by the PolyU Information Technology Services (i.e. xxx@connect.polyu.hk or xxx@polyu.edu.hk) as the default and only email address for sending library notices to PolyU students and staff. Existing PolyU staff who do not already have an email address, please made a NetID registration at PUSecure Identity Portal at your earliest convenience to create a NetID and email address in order to continue receiving library notices via email.
For CPCE (HKCC/SPEED) students and staff, the Library uses the email address assigned by CPCE Information Technology Unit to individuals as the default and only email address for sending library notices.
