Ben joined the HKUST Library in December 1991 and has been a true pillar of the library’s acquisition work ever since. In the pre-internet era, he had to rely on physical mail to correspond with overseas publishers and resolve ordering issues. When the Library moved from physical books to electronic licenses and digital archives, his day-to-day routine changed completely. Yet Ben adapted step-by-step, putting in steady effort at every stage.

We wish you the absolute best in your next chapter!
