I joined the first day of E-Discovery Week Exhibition. The experience proved to be nothing short of enriching. Designed to unveil the wealth of databases accessible through the HKUST Library, it blended learning with playful engagement—a combination that left me both informed and inspired.

The concept was simple yet clever: Participants received a “Crewmate Pass” to collect stamps by exploring booths hosted by ten leading database providers. Spanning disciplines from Business and Science to Humanities, each booth offered a deep dive into specialized resources. What impressed me most was the hosts’ expertise—not only did they demystify their platforms, but they also shared tailored tips for navigating them through HKUST’s Library portal. It felt like unlocking cheat codes for academic success!

The real adventure began with stamp hunting. With just three stamps, participants could enter a lucky draw brimming with enticing prizes. Yet, as I gathered more stamps, I realized the greater reward lay in the discoveries themselves: databases I’d never considered for assignments, now bookmarked as secret weapons for future research.

In hindsight, E-Discovery Week 2025 was more than an event—it was a game-changer. I walked away not just with the thrill of potential prizes but with a toolkit of resources and renewed excitement for research. To anyone hesitating: Dive in, explore, and let curiosity lead the way. After all, the best treasures aren’t just won—they’re learned.
