The Library offers a range of workshops for staff and students to acquire essential information and research skills, as well as to effectively apply databases for their studies. Library souvenirs will be distributed to participants attending a face-to-face workshop. Each participant will have the chance to enter the additional lucky draw, and the results will be announced in November.
🔤 For the 2025/26 academic year, first-year Mainland students are required by the Registry to attend at least one English workshop from the Language Centre, and attending any of the three face-to-face library workshops co-organized with the Centre also count toward fulfilling this requirement.
Registration is required in advance, as seats are limited. If the workshop is conducted online, a Zoom link will be sent after registration. Login is required to view the previous handouts; the recordings are provided subject to the organizer’s rights.
