At ISO, we aim at providing timely and efficient services in the compilation and dissemination of accurate information about the Chinese University to its members, various stakeholders and the public. Our website houses the electronic versions of the University publications within our purview and provides other information concerning our office, work schedule and modus operandi. In going about our business, we come across and resolve numerous linguistic, stylistic and presentational issues on a continuous basis, and are aided by, refer to and rely on many resources and authorities. Where appropriate, we have made such information available for the convenience of our colleagues. We hope to build up eventually a more comprehensive, structured, and readily retrievable repertoire of University information. More information and databases will be added from time to time. In order to fulfil our service pledges, we have to maintain an open loop with the rest of the University community. Your comments and suggestions, and support through browsing and feeding us information, are therefore indispensable to the performance of our functions. 大學圖書館系統歲晚新春開放時間 University Library System Opening Hours During Chinese New Year Holidays 日期 Date 大學、崇基、新亞、 聯合及法律圖書館* UL/CC/NA/UC/ Law Library* 建築學圖書館 Architecture Library 醫學圖書館 Medical Library 2008年2月6日 6 February 2008 8:20 am – 12:30 pm 9:00 am – 12:30 pm 8:30 am – 12:30 pm 2008年2月7 – 10日 7 – 10 February 2008 閉館 Closed 閉館 Closed 閉館 Closed 2008年2月11 – 12日 11 – 12 February 2008 9:00 am – 7:00 pm 9:00 am – 5:00 pm 8:30 am – 9:00 pm * 有關法律資源中心在此期間之開放時間，請查閱法律圖書館網頁。 Please refer to the Law Library homepage for LRC's opening hours during this period.

The Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) will carry out site formation works, which mainly involve filling of earth to a level of +6.5mPD. To facilitate and speed up the works so that the first laboratory building in the complex can be completed by 2012 to cater for the new 3+3+4 curriculum, CEDD proposes a haul route for fill material transport from Pak Shek Kok to Area 39 via the Eastern Gate and a section of Campus Circuit. The works, to commence soon, will last for one and a half years unless extended with the University’s prior approval. Access by CEDD construction vehicles to Campus Circuit is allowed within the restricted hours of 9:30 am – 6:30 pm, Monday to Friday, except public holidays and the University’s special event dates. The volume of construction traffic will not exceed 21 round trips per hour during the peak construction period. The average traffic volume will average to about 14 round trips per hour during the construction period. Dust mitigation measures including wheel wash, canvas cover on loads and daily cleaning on Campus Circuit will be implemented. The Noise Control Ordinance will be strictly complied with. The CEDD and University will closely monitor the level of noise and dust throughout the period. For enquires, please contact the University Safety and Environment Office at 9468 8762. 東閘開放時間 Opening Hours of Eastern Gate 為了方便大學成員，校方決定由2008年2月10日起，延長東閘開放時間，由早上 7時至凌晨12時，全年適用。 For the convenience of the University community, the University has decided to extend the daily opening hours of the Eastern Gate to 7:00 am – 12:00 midnight throughout the year starting from 10 February 2008. www.cuhk.edu.hk/iso/
