| The University Library is committed to providing quality resources and services in support of the University's teaching, research and learning activities. It also serves as a centre of teaching and learning, as librarians are educators who teach, instruct, and provide educational opportunities to students that they do not get in the classroom. These learning opportunities are crucial to student success in the classroom and beyond. |
|
| As of June 2011, the Library had a collection of more than 1.1 million volumes of printed materials, and about 3,000 active journal subscriptions. There are also over 139,700 items in the multimedia collections. In support of the University's teaching, learning and research activities, an array of electronic information resources and services are provided. The Library currently subscribes to more than 200 databases with access to over 40,200 electronic journals, and has expanded its electronic book collection to about 285,100 titles on various subjects. |

| Complementing our collection, catalogues of major university libraries in Hong Kong can be searched via the Library’s homepage. Through the Hong Kong Academic Library Link (HKALL), eligible users can request circulating items from other local university libraries with "available" status if items are not held by the Library or already checked out. |
