As part of the Library’s continuing professional development, in order to improve library services at HKUST, the Library held: 16 Library Connects (514 attendees), 9 Fun 紛 Cafés (248 attendees), and the Library Staff Retreat ( two half-days on June 18 & 19, 2015).
Library Connect is a forum for staff to share their professional knowledge and conference experiences. 2014-15 topics included Library signage, 3-D printing, Library marketing, & the new ACRL Framework on Information Literacy. Fun 紛 Café is a lunch-time gathering where staff share hobbies and interests, such as photography. The Staff Retreat is now an annual event, and an integral part of the Library’s strategic planning methods.
