There was a 9% increase in user entrance and 6% increase in the number of patrons in the year. A total of 302 information literacy programmes were conducted, reaching 7,443 university members over the year. New Services In addition to face-to-face information literacy courses, the Library developed an interactive web-based learning platform to assist students in recognizing when information is needed, and in locating, evaluating and using any required information effectively. This online tutorial also supports students in preparing for the new Information Literacy section of the university-wide Student Information Technology Proficiency Test. In line with the University’s bilingual policy, effective September 2005, the library website appears in three complete versions — English, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese. Users can switch between the three language versions on thousands of webpages. Through the Hong Kong Academic Library Link (HKALL), a joint project of the eight libraries in UGC-funded institutions, CUHK staff, undergraduate and postgraduate students may request circulating items of the other seven UGC-funded libraries at the Library Online Catalogue, and have these items delivered to the University Library for check-out. To help users locate materials in the University Library, circulating books in all languages were inter-shelved into a single sequence. All bound journals were relocated to compact shelves to save space. Without any required configuration on the user’s PC or web browser, CUHK students and staff can login ‘Easy Access’ with their library card number and password to access library web resources off campus. A similar arrangement is provided to alumni to enhance remote access of the Digital Library Service for Alumni subscribed databases.
