Library Facilities
The Chinese University of Hong Kong Library is one of the major academic research libraries in East Asia, attracting students and scholars to its rich and extensive print, online and special collections. It comprises the University Library and six other Libraries – the Chung Chi College Elisabeth Luce Moore Library, the New Asia College Ch’ien Mu Library, the United College Wu Chung Library, the Li Ping Medical Library at the teaching hospital in Shatin, the Architecture Library and the Lee Quo Wei Law Library.
With over 2.8 million print volumes, 5.4 million electronic books, 160,000 electronic journals and 1,000 databases, the Library welcomes over a million visits per year. Collections reflect CUHK’s bilingual and multicultural environment. Access to the electronic collections and searching of library resources (LibrarySearch) is from our website at https://www.lib.cuhk.edu.hk. Books can be borrowed from any of the libraries, and as part of Hong Kong Academic Library Link (HKALL) students can also use books from the seven other university libraries in Hong Kong.
The Library offers inspirational facilities, with around 4,500 study spaces across its buildings. It caters for all, from silent individual study to the vibrant Learning Garden collaborative area and innovative MakerSpace. There are extensive PC facilities and WiFi is enabled throughout the libraries. The Library also accommodates the needs of post-graduates and researchers with individual study rooms. During the semester 24/7 study space is normally available in the Learning Garden at the University Library, the Architecture Library and all year round at the Li Ping Medical Library.
In addition to a roving help team, librarians offer specialist support in person, via chat, email or phone, and library orientation sessions are organised for new students at the beginning of each academic year. Workshops, both online and in-person are held throughout the year, so that students can find, use and apply the information they need effectively. Information guides and news about all of the Libraries are available on the Library website.
Using the library and our resources in person or on the web is a key factor in success at University. We look forward to welcoming you to the Library!
