News from the Library – get the feed!
The Library’s Lift B will be renovated over the next several months, during which it will be out of service. Please use Lift A and Lift C, or the stairs, for your movement between floors.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused, but now is the best time to do the renovations to the lift to minimize disturbance to staff and students.
The HKUST Library is replacing all research carrels on LG3 and LG4 with new furniture. The initial preview samples are now available in the back of the Library G/F.
If you have time, please take a look and let us know what you think!
You can write your comments on the boards near the furniture, or you can fill out this online survey.
We have rearranged some of the furniture on the ground floor, creating a new large study room towards the back and an expanded casual reading area near the entry gates.
As part of a toilet renovation plan, FMO has just upgraded some of the water taps in the first floor toilets to touchfree motion sensor models.
Try them out, and let us know what you think – both of the sensors and of timing and the water flow.
The Library has replaced the older 3D printer with a new one. Printing quality and success rate is better. Come and try it out: http://library.ust.hk/serv/3d/
The Learning Commons will close at 9pm with the Library tonight (Oct 3, 2015). Please take your belonging with you when you leave.
The Library is always working to improve services and facilities for your use. Recently, we have been able to convert 3 more rooms into group studies!
Back in May, we added room LG4-02. And this week we rolled out LG3-04 and LG3-08! We still need to add some artwork to them, and the computer monitor in LG3-08 is a temporary one on the table – a proper 32″ wall-mounted monitor will be added later.
The Library closes on September 3, and the Learning Commons will remain open as usual.
Starting September 1st, the Learning Commons will stay open 24 hours a day.
After the Library closes at 11pm, please use your HKUST card to access the LC via the LG1 entrance.
We now have two 3D printers providing different choice of colors. Come try it out! 
See how to use the service at http://library.ust.hk/serv/3d/3d.html
As the Library enters Summer Break hours, the Learning Commons opens on Sundays from 10am to 7pm with card access control. Use your HKUST card to enter the LC on LG1.
If your card supports “contactless” operation, simply place the card on top of the reader to enter.
This week, the Library was able to extend the overnight study space to include all of LG1. The plan is to try this out for the study and exam weeks to reduce the pressure on the existing 24-hour LC space. We are able to do so through a lot of work and planning by Library staff, and with the help of University administration and support from FMO.
Sadly, some students abused this change, and they made a big mess in one of the Media Viewing rooms.
The Media and Microforms area on LG1 is now open 24-hour until May 29. Other floors close according to Library Hours
Starting March 25, you need your HKUST card to enter LC all the time. Please bring your cards.
