The service covers photocopies of periodical articles housed in the different ULS libraries on campus, article print-outs from electronic journals or full-image databases, and periodical articles and books from external sources that are unavailable at ULS libraries. Teaching staff and graduate students may place requests by completing a request form or through e-mail. They should also specify if they would like to have the documents delivered from overseas if they are unavailable in Hong Kong. Delivery costs are HK$ 10/request for documents from the ULS collection, and HK$0.3/ A4 sheet (currently under review) for those from UGC-funded institutions. The cost of delivering documents from overseas sources is the postage plus the delivery cost as determined by the supplier. Fees may be paid by the requesting party, or charged to research or departmental accounts, with the endorsement of the unit heads concerned. Department heads may also create or designate an e-mailbox through which their staff can send requests to the Interlending Section of the ULS, with the understanding that all costs incurred are to be borne by the department. Enquiries may be directed to Mrs. MelizaNg, head of the ULS Public Services Division, at Ext. 7313, or Miss Y.C. Leung, head of the Interlending Section, at Ext. 8741. Examination Papers Database An initiative of the ULS and the Registry, the purpose for the database is to provide fast, easy, and multiple access to past examination papers of the University. It includes papers of the centralized course exams from 1995 and is accessible through terminals in the main and branch libraries. The papers are searchable by course code, course title, programme of studies, and year set.
