The Library will launch the new iBooking System and implement the related booking policy on 17 July 2023 to give users a better experience when reserving Library facilities. The new iBooking System provides a mobile responsive interface with new or enhanced features as follows:

As announced by the Campus Development Office (CDO), construction works under the University Square Development Project will be in full swing from 9 May - September 2023. At times, there will be noise from the construction site in front of the Library, causing inconvenience to Library users.
Studying in the Library
Please consider using study areas on the Upper Floors which are likely to be less affected by the noise.
In view of the very high demand for study space, the Library will implement the Limited Access Arrangement for JULAC Borrower/Reader Card Holders (students only) during the Revision and Examination Period from 10 Apr - 6 May 2023. Access to the Library by students of other UGC institutions will be limited to non-peak hours (6:01pm - 11:00pm) of the day only.
The Library's G/F North Wing for collaborative study has reopened. 15 new group rooms for collaborative work can be reserved in advance by all students and staff through the iBooking System.
The Journal Collection A-L housed in the electronic compact shelves is accessible now while the Journal Collection M-Z and Book Collection T-Z in electronic compact shelves can be accessed effective 18 November 2022.
Reopening of 3/F North Wing on 19 October 2022
The G/F North Wing of the Library is now under renovation and the construction works are scheduled to complete by the end of August 2022. As informed by Campus Development Office, there will be no power supply to the affected area during the renovation period. As a result, users will have no access to Book Collection T-Z and the bound journals housed in the electronic compact shelves located at G/F North Wing until the renovation finishes.
We are excited to announce that the new 6/F of the Library is now open to our users! It marks the completion of a major phase of the Library Extension and Revitalisation (LER) Project that began in July 2020.
