Working in
Partnership
•
Faculty liaison.
Significant organizational change in the Library
occurred in the past year in part to create a team of professional
librarians focused on supporting the teaching and research needs of
faculty. Liaison librarians are assigned to each Faculty and:
• Enhance formal and informal communication between the Library
and Faculty
• Increase awareness and use of Library resources and services
• Strengthen Library collections to meet curricular and research
needs
• Provide information literacy instruction, reference consultations
and support life-long learning
•
Joint University Librarians Advisory Committee (JULAC).
The Library
has joined JULAC in starting to explore a ‘next generation’, shared
Library system. The Library introduced the new JULAC card to access
all UGC Libraries, with simplified registration procedures. CUHK
Library also participated in a JULAC shared eBook patron driven
acquisition (PDA) pilot with JSTOR.
