KNC Booking System
Now you don't have to come to the Main Library to make a booking with our Knowledge Navigation Centre. The newly launched KNC Booking System allows you to book any computer in the KNC Digital Presentation Section. This service is available to faculty, students and staff. Facilities card holders will be issued a one-day pass. Users can either book 2 days in advance or on the spot for both workstation and software.

IN BRIEF

EXHIBITION
An exhibition was held from April 23 to May 25, 2001 to highlight resources to assist students wishing to begin or advance their careers or to further their studies. Selected books on relevant topics were also on display. Courses such as Job Hunting on the Internet, Writing a Research Proposal and Planning for Graduate Studies were introduced with excellent response from both faculties and students.

E-LEARNING LAB
The Library Instruction Room in the Main Library, commonly known as the G02 Instruction Room, was renamed e-Learning Lab in May. This multi-purpose room is well equipped with state-of-the-art IT facilities including Notebook computers and scaled auditorium seating for better viewing.
