This book is working out in a gym. It wants to be a “fit” member of the library collection. Recently, we ran a "How Well Do You Know Your Library Challenge" to let users test their fitness in using various library resources and services. This 10-question online quiz introduces a full range of resources from the less known treasures of our archives and special collections to cutting-edge technology offerings. Did you know? All self-learning videos created by us are available at E-learning Videos & Games? You can unleash your creativity at our Adobe Creative Cloud Workstations on G/F and LC Creative Media Zone on LG1? We have perfect spots for video chats or online interviews? Try our Study Pods and Library Outdoor Areas – Library Garden or Terraces. Congratulations to our winners and a big thank you to all of you who participated!

By moving the 3D Printing Service into the Learning Commons on LG1, we have freed up the old room to serve as a second IC Learning Space on the ground floor. Basically, we now have two IC Learning Spaces opposite Lift A on the ground floor – The existing Space has been in heavy use for a long time, and has a much larger and interactive screen. IC Learning Space B is on the other side of the shared glass wall, with a smaller regular monitor and some repurposed furniture. Both Spaces are optimised for larger meetings, seminars, and teaching. So they can be reserved by Faculty, Staff, and Postgraduate (PG) Students. The big question is whether having groups in both Spaces will work – will the glass wall be enough to prevent the two groups from bothering each other? If having both Spaces does work, we will plan to upgrade the equipment and furniture in Space B.   So let us know what you think - good or bad!  library@ust.hk Edward Spodick Associate Director of Library Services lbspodic@ust.hk  

The Exploration Lab portion of the maps exhibition closed on schedule, and the room has now been converted back into our Deep Quiet Room. Remember – no talking in this room, and we ask that if you need to use a keyboard you even try to type quietly. :-)   So if you need more quiet space, come here on the first floor, or go to the Quiet Floor on LG3.   Edward Spodick Associate Director of Library Services lbspodic@ust.hk  

LG5 Opening Now Scheduled for early March! When you come back for the Spring Term (or soon after),  you will be able to enter the Library directly from LG5! We will have another study and event space at the far end of LG5, with a stairwell connecting to/from LG4. Or you can leave the Library there instead of going all the way back up to G/F – unless you need to check out a book.       Edward Spodick Associate Director of Library Services lbspodic@ust.hk
