Can you imagine maintaining your passion for your work for three decades? We at the Library are excited to celebrate Margaret, who recently received the Long Service Award from the university for her remarkable 30 years of service at HKUST. As an officer in our Resource Management section, Margaret has played a crucial role in managing collection resources. This team is responsible for acquiring materials, maintaining access to e-resources, and ensuring our catalog remains updated and user-friendly. Throughout her time at HKUST, Margaret has navigated significant changes in the library landscape. Thirty years ago, most library materials were in print form, and computing technology were very different. Although she has remained with the same team, she has embraced each new change and challenge with eagerness to learn. “If there’s nothing new for me to learn, I go out and search for it,” she says, exemplifying the spirit of lifelong learning that enriches our library community. Margaret began her career in the cataloging team within Resource Management, where her attention to detail proved invaluable. The team creates metadata that adheres to international cataloging standards, ensuring that you can easily find the resources you need while allowing HKUST’s bibliographic records to be utilized by libraries worldwide.

Sunrise, the start of a new day, usually symbolizes a fresh start, rising hope or a new beginning. However, for HKUST students who spend the whole night studying or working on assignments in the Learning Commons, witnessing the sunrise signifies a sleepless night or the looming deadline they are racing against.As a former HKUST student, the LC was also my haunt during the 4-year study. I also experienced late-night battles in the LC. This picture, taken in 2016, just a few hours before an exam, serves as a reminder of those intense moments.Now, being a library staff managing the LC, I still feel a strong connection with students burning the midnight oil to meet deadlines. Wish you all the best luck in your exams but don’t overburden yourself with too much overnight work!June ORAccess Serviceslbjune@ust.hk
