Transforming the
Library’s Support
for Research
70%
Postgraduate
use of the Library continued to grow with visits to the
Library by postgraduates having increased by 70% over the past five years.
To provide opportunities for research students to present their research in
a nurturing, interdisciplinary environment three thematic based Research
Cafés on Bioinformatics, Alternative Politics in Hong Kong, and Nature and
Automation were organized. Our thanks to all involved. We also continued
with our popular
How to Publish
… series of talks from prominent
publishers.

staff restructuring and recruitment took place to create the Research
Support and Digital Initiatives team at the end of 2014/15. The Library
was successful in obtaining additional funding towards the building
of a Digital Scholarship Lab, which will open in Spring 2016. In addition
the Library has been an active partner in the AIMS project and has
been encouraging and supporting academics to claim their online IDs
and publications.
