The Semester is Ending!
In the midst of all the end-of-semester work, we sometimes need to relax with a good read or interesting video. Or, we like to imagine or even plan our relaxation and fun for after we’ve sat our last exam in December, or handed in the last section of grades (if we’re a teacher or TA).
Science & Science Fiction – Fuel for the Imagination
For centuries, science and science fiction have been linked: inspiring happy dreams, terrifying nightmares, or thought experiments in between. Both explore and extrapolate from past and present into the future. Both fuel our imaginations.
To make it easier for HKUST people to “fuel up” from now until the end of January 2025, library staff have made a Science & Science Fiction Collection Highlights. It has books and videos on interesting scientific topics and classic and recent science fiction, in both English and Chinese.
The physical display of some of the print books and DVDs is near the Service Desk on the G/F. If the title you want isn’t on the table, ask staff for it at the Service Desk. There’s more than can fit on the display tables, plus the e-books and videos.
Want a particular format?
Best wishes for the end of the semester and the coming new year – from 2024 to 2025 and from Dragon to Snake!
