Literacy Culture on and beyond Campus  3  It may be ironic that a major Internet entrepreneur is promoting reading when many people have questioned whether the printed word could survive the age of computer networks and prophesied the end of books. Despite the grim predictions, the electronic age did not drive books into extinction. At the Chinese University of Hong Kong, reading, writing and publishing the printed word are still a core part of how we teach, learn, and disseminate knowledge. A number of units and individuals devote themselves to promoting and encouraging literacy culture on and beyond campus.
