Book Supply and Donation

Book Supply

HKUST Library strives to deliver a high quality academic collection in all formats to advance effective learning as well as teaching and research excellence at the University.

• The Library maintains a list of booksellers and other vendors who supply library material.
• Companies that wish to be on the suppliers list in order to be contacted for quotations should email the Resource Management Unit at lbacq@ust.hk.

Book Donation – Conditions of Acceptance

Book gifts that are of good physical condition and support the current teaching and research programs of the university will be gladly accepted for review.

• The Library reserves the right to dispose of gifts not taken into the collection.
• Acknowledgment of receipts will be given only at the request of the donor.

Large Volume of Donation

• To help the Library check against duplicates and assess relevance, donors are encouraged to prepare a title list.  The list should include bibliographic details such as author, title, edition, publisher, and publication year.
• When appropriate, a bookplate will be affixed to each of the donated items as a token of appreciation.

Media Donation

Due to change of user needs, the Library no longer accepts donation of physical media items such as CD, DVD, VCD, and Blu-ray.
