The 'Library Mobile Apps Challenge' is an idea generation/mobile app development contest jointly organized by the University Library System and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Open to all CUHK students, the contest concluded with a prize-giving presentation at the opening ceremony of the 5th International M-libraries Conference on 28 May. Officiating at the ceremony were Prof. Benjamin W. Wah (1st right), Provost; and Ms. Louise Jones (1st left), University Librarian.

With the theme 'Make Better Use of the Library with the Mobile Apps', the contest was aimed at looking for interesting ideas from students for a mobile app that would promote library services, and would enable their peers to find information more effectively. A total of 26 teams entered the contest and eight were shortlisted in the final round. The championship went to a team consisting of Yao Junwen, Mao Xuxiao, Wang Cheng, Xu Honghao, and Li Yiwei.
