– 1. 我每一次借書, 都發現書本的封面和封底很多污穢, 好像巴士地下上的黑色污穢, 有部份多到令我有嘔心的感覺. … | Comments noted. Please pass those dirty books to us for follow up. |
– Staff new publication exhibition shelve is now under the staircase. If it is to be there, better eliminate this system. If it is to show it to the public to create a better image, it should be closer to the windows. Some titles in the shelves have been for long time many months. I submitted my publications months ago, and never there! There should be a person to follow this and create a system of reasonable period per item. | Thanks for your comments and reminders. Staff Publication Display has been relocated back to its original location at the Lounge and the display schedule has resumed normal after the completion of the Spatial Reorganization Project. |
– add some ways to reach the reserved collections, for example turn them into ebooks, as they are hard to borrow and there is limited time to study. also, enlarge the electronic data base, ebook and journal collection. Meanwhile they are not user-friendly. | Comments noted with thanks. The Library has already implemented an e-Priority Policy under which higher priority is given to acquiring electronic books and electronic journals than print ones. Priority will also be given to materials related to academic programmes. However, some titles are only available in print format and we cannot “turn” them into e-books due to copyright restrictions. |
– I found that the version of books are quite outdated. Suggest the Library can do more promotion on ebook or e-magazine in future. | Comments are noted and will be followed up. |
– 作為一間大學,電子書和電子論文的數量太少,而且經常看不到,有必要把更多的資源擺放在豐富藏書量和促進電子化書籍上,而不是只是不停裝修,圖書館最重要的是書而不是外表啊! | The Library has adopted an e-Priority Policy since 2013 to acquire more ebooks and ejournals. The University has also provided additional funding for the Library to enhance its electronic resources. With the introduction of Scribd e-books and Chinamaxx Digital Ebook Collection in 2015, the Library now offers over 1.38 million e-books to its users. |
– The library should abolish the policy to prioritize e-books instead of printed books. | We adopted the e-Priority Policy in view of the cost-effectiveness, 24-hour accessibility and availability of e-books over print books. Based on e-book usage, data and comments from past Library surveys, e-books are actually in high demand, especially among our students. |
– 我認為網上電子期刊和電子書的數量和種類方面應要增多,如chinamaxx等等 – 希望盡快購買「讀秀資料庫」, 以便跟其他大學看齊。 – 盡早購買「獨秀學術搜索」系統,以便本校的中文資源跟其他大學看齊。 | Comments noted with thanks. Library has acquired Chinamaxx Digital Libraries 中文集獻 in Oct 2015. Free trials for 读秀中文学术搜索 has also been arranged in the past but we did not subscribe due to cost and copyright concerns. |

On most of the occasions, I need to borrow stuff through HKALL, which is a bit annoying. – … 另外,希望网上可阅读资料再多一些。… | Comments on various library collections are noted and will be followed up. Both staff and students are welcome to make specific purchase suggestions directly to the Library by using the Online Recommendation Form at http://www.lib.eduhk.hk/recommend/. |
– 1. 教院在一些電子期刊網站的戶口沒有續費,導致下載不了期刊。 … | Renewal or cancellation of a journal is based on various factors such as feedback and recommendations by academics, actual usage as well as cost and budget. Sometimes we did not renew an e-journal via a particular publisher’s website because the journal is already included in another database package. Users are welcome to contact the Information Counter if they have difficulties in accessing specific e-journals. |
– 1、参考书太旧,建议96年之前出版的参考书下架。 | Comments noted with thanks. Although year of publication is an important factor when we consider withdrawing an item, we will consider other factors as well, such as whether the content is still valid or not. |
– Subscription to American psychological association journal and few online survey tool i.e.. Qualtrics and Survey Gizmo for example would aid research work and study greatly. Thank you | Comments are noted and will be followed up. Kindly note that the Library has subscribed to PsycInfo, PsycArticles and PsycBooks from the American Psychological Association for years and users can locate them in the Library’s e-resources list at http://www.lib.eduhk.hk/eresources/. |
– 學校教科書比較舊,而且數量十分少 | HK school textbooks on EDB’s Recommended Textbook List are already updated on an annual basis. |
– … 另外, 修讀幼兒教育的學生較多, 有關幼教的書目數量不足, 應多設和提供數本重要或required textbook在架上,讓幼教學生取用或借走 兒童圖書方面, 應多增加或購入較新的圖書 有不少新的兒童繪本作者出的圖書, 能與讀者有互動性, 而且配合幼兒學習主題。 | The number of copies of required textbooks and readings are determined by the class size of each course. The Library will also acquire electronic version of course textbooks and readings whenever available to enhance the accessibility. Both staff and students are welcome to make specific purchase suggestions to the Library by using the Online Recommendation Form at http://www.lib.eduhk.hk/recommend/ |
– … 4。報紙雜誌種類不夠多,請添加,例如請買《壹週刊》《100毛》 《香港投資日般》 … 7。電子期刊少得可憐 … | Comments noted and will be followed up. Library has already subscribed to 壹週刊 which is placed on LP/F. For e-journals, please see our earlier responses. |
– 整體服務不錯,圖書館職員熱心有禮,唯可增加多些有關幼兒教育的指定參考書和參考書,館藏少而導致未能在功課繳交前借閱相關指定參考書作閱讀之用。 | Comments noted with thanks. For copies of course textbooks and readings, please refer to our earlier responses. |
– 可以增加參考書的數量 | Please refer to our earlier responses to comments on copies of course textbooks and readings. Users may also consider using HKALL to request required books from other local university libraries. |

– … 而且圖書館自修位置,7×24 的座位都不太清潔,要注意圖書館整潔問題。 … | Our cleaners are working very hard to clean up all public areas every morning. However, some seats in 24-hour service areas are always occupied and thus unavailable for daily cleaning. Users may report to the library counters anytime concerning cleaning matters so that we can take immediate action. On the other hand, users’ cooperation and self-discipline are also essential for maintaining a pleasant library environment. |
– I am a regular user of MMW library and I think the hygiene of the washrooms within the library should be improved. – Please tidy up the library area. Most area are very dirty, e.g. toilet | Comments noted and has been conveyed to the Estates Office. However, cleanliness of library facilities still requires the cooperation of library users. |
– The discussion rooms are dirty especially the chairs. They are too old. G/F female toilet is smelly. The young librarians are very nice and helpful. | All the six former Group Discussion Rooms on 2/F have been demolished. Five new Group Discussion Rooms with new furniture and new equipment have been set up in the Discussion Zone on 1/F. Users are advised to report to the Circulation Counter immediately if they found that the cleanliness of toilets is unsatisfactory. |
– 其實我很滿意圖書館的設計、維修、RESERVE 區等。但最不滿是學生使用圖書館時的紀律,如放腳上座椅、大聲喧嘩。 這些都是破壞了圖書館的安寧的行動。希望職員可座於24小時區,以收阻嚇及教育的作用,而不是任由學生缺德的行為被縱容。 | Comments noted and we have arranged regular patrols of the Library. Library staff will warn users who are found making noise except in the designated Discussion Zones. However, maintaining a quiet study area will require cooperation and self-discipline of all library users. When assistance is needed, users can contact Library staff immediately so that appropriate action can be taken. Library Regulations have also been revised for better management of library facilities. |
– 整體十分滿意圖書館及同事的服務,十分感謝您們,以下微見供參考: 1. 教具PARTS/件數太多太散,怕遺失而不敢借,有點可惜. 2. 兒童書在一樓藏書架有點遠和僻靜,燈光有點暗,以前位置感覺安全得多. 3. 裝修後感覺似自修室多於圖書館. | Comments noted and have followed up with Estates Office to review the lighting at the Children’s Literature Collection area on 1/F. |
– … 如果可以再安静一点会更好,厕所的抽水压力不够强. … | Comments noted and we have followed up with the Estates Office on issues regarding toilet flushing. |
– Now that we have a discussion area on 1/F. What if we have a floor which allows people to bring coffee or even food in? | Food and drinks consumption is allowed in the Lounge on G/F of MMW Library. Please visit http://www.lib.eduhk.hk/info/facilities/lounge.html and http://www.lib.ied.edu.hk/info/about/food_drinks_policy.html for details of the Lounge and the new Library Food and Drink Policy. |
– … 2、空调太冷,建议调整至25.5度,既节省资源,又保护环境。 – 冷氣太凍 – 冷氣太凍 – 冷氣太凍 – 1、空调开的太冷了。受不了 … | Comments noted and have been forwarded to the Estates Office for their information. Users are welcome to report air-conditioning problem to counter staff so we can seek immediately assistance from the Estates Office to fine-tune the temperature at specific areas of the Library. On the other hand, please understand that the Library building serves both as a study facility and a permanent storage of paper-based books, media and other fragile materials which requires very low temperature and relative humidity. According to international standards, temperature inside a library should be under 20°C. Temperature inside our Library is already hotter than standard requirement. As a result, in the past few years there were over 2,000 library books inflected by mold. |

– It would be much more convenient if there is a paper shredder for students to destroy extra important paper documents (e.g. copies of passport, ID card, student card, etc.) in case of the personal information leakage. | Comments noted with thanks. The suggestion is being considered by the Library. |
– 希望增設檯燈,因為自習區燈光灰暗。希望每層增設取水處。 | Lighting level is being monitored closed by the Estates Office. Lighting level in all study areas is sufficient in general. Additional lights will be installed if needed. Drinking fountains are also installed on each floor except LP/F. |
– 1) 增加掃描器的數量 (*特別是彩色掃描器) 2) 重設影印房(每層的影印機分佈散亂,去到才知道壞機,或已經有人排隊,很不方便)。 3)Print-n-go的打印機常常故障,質素參差,有時候印了出來,文件底下幾行不見了,重印也一樣,不知道是甚麼問題。 … | 1. Quite a number of printers/copiers with colour scanning function are installed on different floors of the Library.
Please visit http://www.lib.ied.edu.hk/info/facilities/photo.html for details. 2. Suggestion noted and we will study the feasibility. 3. Noted and has informed OCIO. Users are also welcome to report any problem encountered when using the Print-N-Go printers and seek assistance from the Library counters. |
– printer列印時,宜以學生證拍卡,確認才print out,而不用跟其他用者混淆 – … 打印设施方面需要改善. 可以将打印机设成 根据用户打印不同资料 (同学打印之前需要放置学生卡在感应器上),这样可以避免浪费. 打印设置(例如文字排版之类的)不够明确, 设置好了也会打印出其他格式. – 列印非常混亂: 如果可以增設一個系統,需於printer旁邊先以學生證拍卡登入,然後所選擇的文件才會經該printer打印出來,這樣會更方便及容易跟進。 | Suggestions noted. Unfortunately such feature is not supported by the current printing equipment. |
– … 2. 除了地下G/F, 那層的影印機中的掃描功能是好用的外, 以上樓層的其功能是相當難用. 例如: 1樓的影印機的掃描功能是很難用連續掃描的功能. … | Comments noted and users can contact the Circulation Counter for assistance if necessary. |
– add color printers in library. – … Add color printers | Two new colour printers with photocopying function are now available on G/F and 1/F of the MMW Library. |
– It is better to have a standby computer only for the usage for scanning. | Most of the photocopiers have scanning function. Copyright warning signs have also been posted to alert users that they should not scan excessive amount of copyright materials and occupy the scanning machine for more than 3 minutes. |
– 增設自動借書系統 … – 希望增加自助借書還書櫃檯 … | Two self-served borrowing stations are currently available at Mong Man Wai Library and Tseung Kwan O Study Centre Learning Commons. The Library is going to implement a new RFID library materials circulation system and more self-served borrowing stations will be provided when the RFID system is implemented. |
– 就大埔校園圖書館館內及網上設施,本人有少少意見如下,懇請參閱: 1. 館內設施 ー Lift 8 及 Lift 9 內空氣不夠流通,尤其Lift 8,不論四季總是嗅到汗臭味 ー G/F 女廁 | We have followed up with the Estates Office on issues regarding the toilets. |
– 1。應該設立「新書推介」書架 2。應該原來四樓播放有線電視新聞,現在裝修後地下的電視只播放無綫互動新聞,不滿取消有線新聞播放,還我中立報導,不要事事旦旦 … 5。應該每層至少兩部Print-N-Go電腦,只有地下設有Print-N-Go是不便 6。要求取消催還制度,方便讀者 … | Comments noted with thanks. We are planning to re-introduce new material display in electronic format. Subscription to Cable-TV will also be considered, Comments noted and Library will explore with OCIO who runs the Print-N-Go service on the possibility of adding more Print-N-Go facilities. The Recall System is an important and highly used service which provides a fair and equal means to improve the circulation of popular items. It is implemented in all local university libraries. Canceling it will only cause inconvenience to most users. |
– … A walk-in discussion room to host several groups would be useful. – More discussion rooms … | Most library facilities are available for walk-in access if not booked by any user. In addition, there are about 20 tables inside the Discussion Zone and Flexi Zone on 1/F for group discussion on walk-in basis. Library users may also use the facilities at the Lounge on G/F for discussion but they should keep the noise down to avoid disturbing other users. |
– Pls allow also allow staff to use the Language Learning Room. | Comments noted with thanks. The suggestion will be considered by the Library. |
– 希望能夠提供更多自習室(個人單間),並能夠再網上開放預約功能,方便有計劃地使用,以防止占座。謝謝。 – 我認為應增設獨立的自修室,因為現行的設施始終會有相當的噪音影響。 – … 4、希望1楼的study room可以重新修建,非常有利于安静的学习。 – -Hope there will be self-study rooms.(It means a room holds only one person.) … | The former 25 Individual study rooms on 1/F and 2/F occupied a lot of scarce space within the library building and served only a very limited number of users. For better space utilization and to provide quiet study space to as many users as possible, 62 Study Carrels have been set up in the Research Commons on 4/F. Reading and study areas on 2/F to 4/F have also been designated as “Quiet Zones” for private study. Hundreds of quiet study places are now provided on these three floors. All 62 Study Carrels on 4/F are also available for online booking. |
– 希望24小时座位可以再多一些。… | With the extension of 24-hour opening to whole G/F in Oct 2015 and subsequently to both G/F and LP/F in Jan 2016, seating capacity and number of computers have increased significantly. The usage, especially at peak seasons, will be monitored closely and the 24-hour opening area could be further extended if there are such needs. |
– 最好設有隔音房間給予學生討論,加油! | Five Group Discussion Rooms have already been set up on 1/F, and they are available for online booking. Please visit http://www.lib.eduhk.hk/info/facilities/discusszone/discussion_rooms.html for details. |
– We need to wait for everyone to come and log in to get in the discussion room. This design is stupid. | In Sept 2016, the Library has switched the online booking of Group Discussion Rooms from the University’s iBooking System to the Library’s Booking System which allows check-in by one user alone. However, the Group Discussion Rooms are set up for group use. The Library thus reserves the right to cancel the booking 15 minutes after the session starts if there are less than 3 persons using a particular Group Discussion Room. |
– 多些個人電腦,像4樓般 – 希望有更多電腦位置使用 – 提升電腦質素,速度太慢 | The number of public PCs has been increased from 235 in 2015 to 265 in 2016. The Library will continue to monitor the needs. Due to resource constraints and environmental concerns, the Library adopts a 4-year replacement cycle for its public PCs. Newer PCs are generally installed at more highly used areas. Since networked teaching software still requires a 32-bit Windows environment, the Library’s PCs are restricted by this limitations and we cannot upgrade our PCs with more than 4GB RAM. But we will install SSDs in all new PCs for better read-write performance. |
– 館內可借用之手提電腦已非常舊,使用時會常hang機,如能更換就更好, 另外可考慮在一樓研討區增加個人電腦(非大電腦)則更佳 | A number of notebook PCs have been scheduled for replacement in the next few months. One notebook PC has also been installed on each Group Discussion Table in the Discussion Zone. |
– … 2. 建議更換7×24的keyboard,有些keyboard用久了導致按鈕不靈光、卡住、不順,要鍛鍊指力… | Comments noted and will be followed up. |
– … -Facilities in the language learning room require maintenance. | New PCs have been installed in Language Learning Room. |
– 希望能於圖書館增設學生證增值機以增值printing values,方便學生發現printing quota 不足時可直接於圖書館內增值及打印。謝謝! | Library users can easily access OCIO’s Cyberstation and Octopus Payment Machine on a 24-hour basis at the Learning Commons which is just outside the Library on LP/F. |
– 1. Printing限額極度不夠, 常常需要自己增值. … – The printing system is messy which produces lots of useless paper and so wastes resources. – 圖書館的print and go列印機太少,等候時間太長,經常壞。建議參考其他大學,例如香港城市大學的系統,全校的電腦都可以連接至printer | Comments have been forwarded to OCIO who manages the print quota system and Print-N-Go stations. |
– … 每層可有諮詢counter | Library users can simply pick up the intercom handset available on every floor and seek assistance from library staff. In addition, they can also call the Information Counter at 29486653 or send a WhatsApp message to 95149655 (9 am to 5 pm on weekdays). |
– 列印的電腦可加多! … | Most of the Library public PCs are connected to Octopus-operated network printers. Wi-Fi printing with mobile devices have also been launched in Sept 2016. Users can also access over a dozen Print-N-Go stations at the Learning Commons on LP/F. |
– 學生最需要乃是附電源供應的自修空間/自修桌,但本校圖書館經大規模翻新後卻未見有此等空間供應,期望可以改善。其他大學如科大、港大等會在圖書館內大量設置這類桌椅供學生自由使用溫習,希望可以參考改進,謝謝! – 可提供更多桌上電腦及電源插座供同學們使用。 | Power sockets have been installed on most study tables on all floors after the completion of the Spatial Reorganization Project. |

– … 另外,請在7×24嚴格執行預約規定。 – 一些學生預約電腦工作站的意識薄弱,經常不經預約而使用工作站,導致圖書館預約系統和實際座位的占有不對應,請圖書館運用更多方法加以提醒。 – 預約自修位置需多修訂及管理, 很多沒有預約的人坐到已被預約的位置上, 對有好好遵守規則的人不公平. | Self-discipline and honour system are adopted in advance booking of library facilities. However, Library staff will warn users who are found occupying the seats without making seats reservation. Please approach counter staff for assistance if booked seats are occupied by other users. |
– 建议检视图书馆铁质手推车使用时产生噪音的情况,图书馆职员使用时会发出较大噪音。 | Comments noted and have reminded staff to minimize the noise. |
– … 影印機/掃瞄器經常壞,數量太少,特別是彩色 – 圖書館內的影印服務有提供彩色影印或列印嗎,如沒有,請新增,謝謝 | Two new colour printers with photocopying function are now available on G/F and 1/F of the MMW Library. |
– … 4)G/F不用預約的電腦區,經常有人長期用雜物霸佔座位,請跟進。 | Comments noted and will be followed up. Users can also report the cases to library counters for our immediate actions. |
– 第一:圖書館廣播錄音中廣播員質素太差。聲線難聽,發音不準確。特別是廣播英文時,發音十分不標準,而且語調亦非常欠佳。圖書館各方面都良好,但連英文也讀不好的廣播確實會影響我們大學的給人的感覺和印象,降低大學的質素。其實,在圖書館廣播時,同學曾多次看到一些來自外國的交換生嘲笑廣播員欠佳的英文。所以我們希望學校能在這方面改良一下,不要只顧裝潢外表。建議用電腦聲音廣播,不要用人手錄音廣播。 第二:圖書館書籍位置經常有變化,特別是小學生的課外補充。經常找不到書,就連問圖書館管理員他們也不知道,也不會幫助學生,只是隨便敷衍讓學生自己去找。學校應加強對圖書館管理員的訓練,提高他們的質素。 | 1. Comments noted. 2. In the past two years books were relocated to temporary locations in order to make room for renovation works. All library collections have now been set up in their planned locations in summer 2016. |
– 4樓自修位置 經常被人訂用,但到時數沒有人用,浪費資源 應訂立制度避免這情況 … – … 2. 在圖書館的電腦需要提前註冊使用不是很方便。希望有所改善。 – 建議取消G層電腦區的預約功能 – Study room also needs the booking system | The Booking System is set up to avoid abuse of facilities. A booking session will be cancelled automatically by the system if a user failed to check-in within the compulsory check-in period. The seat will then be released for booking by other users within that timeslot. The Library will monitor the usage and may adjust the distribution between free seating area and booking area if needed. Besides, facilities which have not been booked are available for walk-in access by any user. |
– 看到地下新裝修那邊有食物/飲品販賣機,圖書館是打算開放飲食規例嗎? 其他大學(HKU CU)的圖書館也有飲食範圍,但它們的圖書館很大加上餐廳離圖書館有一定的距離,所以才開放飲食規例給讀者,而且開放的地點在圖書館來說是比較偏僻或沒圖書供應的樓層。但教大的餐廳/便利店也在圖書館附近,步行距離不用10分鐘… 就算由4樓走去LP層也才10分鐘,有必要在圖書館飲食嗎? 坦白說,現在也很多讀者在圖書館飲食(特別是地下),他們從來不會清潔自己的飲食範圍,常常看到地下的電腦枱都髒髒的,但有看到圖書館職員及清潔工人每天都會執拾及清潔但還是阻止不了啊… 如果圖書館真的開放飲食範圍,已經可以預計到會大大增加職員跟清潔工人的工作量,而且也看到書本會越來越髒。希望圖書館管理層可以好好考膚!!! | Comments noted. The Library has considered carefully the pros and cons of different drinking and eating arrangements, and have consulted different user groups. As a result, the Lounge on G/F of the Mong Man Wai Library has been designated the only area for food and drinks. It has instantly become the most popular place in the Library and is well received by our students. We will closely monitor the usage, and we believe our students are considerate and will make proper use of this new facility. |
– 見到地下7*24多左幾張大梳化先特意黎留意見,好希望有多幾張呢啲梳化(無hall住又留通宵唔知邊度適合舒服啲咁休息) – The new 7*24 learning area is very good, but I think it would be better to remove some of the tables and chairs, since it is a little bit too crowded. – 个人感觉G/F,7×24那里桌椅摆设过于密集 | Comments are noted. We will rearrange the furniture if needed. A few arm-chairs will be set up later for commuting students to take a nap inside the Lounge. |
– Having one elevator is not suitable during study year. | Actually there are two lifts inside the Library. Lift No. 9 is located behind the fire-door inside the Lounge. |
– 唔知邊個係職員?有些穿著制服和証件,有些冇穿制服冇証件。 | All library staff should be wearing a neck strap with EdUHK Library logo and his/her name tag attached. |
– 一樓沒有明確指示到底電子研習坊是寧靜區還是討論室。 清潔工人態度良好,清潔時安靜,圖書館使用者不應投訴他們。 內地生經常在飲水機的去水位棄置飲品殘渣,例如茶葉、紅棗、杞子等,令人不敢使用飲水機。 G/F增添冷熱飲水機,非常好。 … | Comments noted with thanks. We also agree that our cleaners are very nice and work very hard to keep the Library clean. e-Learning Studio is not a discussion area. We have posted up signs to remind users inside the e-Learning Studio. |
– … 若非考試季節,圖書館會在晚上10時關閉,但晚上9時55分左右,電子研習坊的電腦會全部被關閉!令人措手不及,未儲存所有東西!是否有人為錯誤過早關電腦??? | Thank you for the comments. This should not have happened. Library staff and the security guards are reminded of the proper closing procedure. |
– 加强安保措施。 | Comments noted and users are encouraged to inform counter staff of any abnormalities. |

– 打印機(除G/F外)數量有限,例如1/F只有2部,若其中之一損壞或待維修,學生須輪候或去其他層. 另外,希望可24小時開放1/F, 因為1/F有不少教科書. – 7×24新開那邊桌椅的高矮不配合 長時間坐著使人腰骨酸軟 自修範圍希望加長至晚上12時 不要限於考試期 .. – hope to extend the opening hours even not in examination period. because the spaces of 24hour seating are limited. – … -Extend the opening hours of other floors.(24-hour will be great.) … – 1. 應該在考試期間研究區的開放時間為二十四小時。 2. 在二十四小時的開放的座位中,沒有個人自修座位(例如三樓的自修座位),非常不便! … | Thank you for the comments. The Library will continue to monitor the after-hour usage and consider to extend opening hours on other floors if necessary. |
– 改善電子期刊及電子書搜尋系統, 90%時間未能有效找到需要的參考資料作業 承上應參考HKU等大學, 提供更多更高效率,方便使用及收藏量多的專業期刊及書目平台 – … 12。圖書館網站設計不user friendly – The website of library is not user-friendly. – 希望可以完善查论文的数据库 | Users are encouraged to contact the Information Counter in person, by phone or by email for assistance if they need assistance on finding required information. Staff and students are also welcome to send specific recommendations, including databases, e-books and e-journals, to the Library anytime. Free trials will be arranged and the product will be evaluated and considered subject to user feedback and budget consideration. Meanwhile, a new shared Library system is being acquired by all 8 UGC-funded university libraries and a new search interface will be adopted in the second half of 2017. The Library Website will also be revamped shortly. |
– 教科書借用時間太短,即使續借了,仍需在實習期間回校還書,然而,實習期間實在很忙,不能經常抽空回校 | Comments noted and will be considered in our regular review of library rules and regulation, including the loan quota and loan period. However, users are also reminded that school textbooks are high-demand items and the shorter loan period will ensure that they can be used by more users within a short period. |
– … 3。九龍塘真光還書箱應該延長開放 … 6。要求取消催還制度,方便讀者 … 10。應限制小學生進入,他們經常奔走行,打擾其他人 11。延長開放時間 … | The opening hours of KTSSC are in line with the school days. For Recall System, please refer to our earlier responses.

– … 2. 網站 ー 教大已正名,建議圖書館網站及附屬頁在browser tab的header文字開頭亦加上教大logo,以突顯正名的喜悅,亦與教大網站連貫 ー 校園網絡間中出現定期維修情況,如預先收到OCIO或相關部門通知,建議在維修日期前數天用pop-up window強制用戶閱讀告示,減少維修當天做成不便 | Thank you for the suggestion and the browser tab logo of the Library Website has been updated. Pop-up windows are not recommended by the University and most often they will be blocked by the popup blockers of most web browsers. |
– … 9。圖書館應增設裁紙機 | Comments noted with thanks. The suggestion is being considered by the Library. |
– 對於部分大陸學生來說,雖然通過了雅思托福考試,但是可能性情況下,圖書館的預約等界面,提供繁體中文版本,備選,應該是個不錯的選擇。 實際上工作量也不大,只是翻譯而已。僅供參考 | Comments noted with thanks. The suggestion is being considered by the Library. |
– 圖書館整體服務不錯,但仍有改善空間。 裝修後的圖書館,無疑是外觀簇新、設計新穎,連燈光也更亮麗,但圖書館現在給我的感覺反而像翻身了的商場般,徒添了不少華而不實的設施,却是舊瓶新酒。例如,電梯前的座地顯示屏,只不斷的在重覆播放圖書館的宣傳片段,浪費電源有欠環保之餘,指示館藏的功能反而未能彰顯,曾試過多次進入樓層後再折返找尋館藏的指示方向;又如新設的創作坊、媒體製作坊、迷你劇院等,都是一堆高科技硬件設備在堆砌,只供一小撮有需要而又懂用的教大師生使用;且圖書館內各樣設施差不多都要預約才可使用,變相只供教大師生使用,既然如此,為何校友圖書證申請表上沒有明確寫出? 外觀冠冕堂皇、設備琳瑯滿目,但館藏、服務、支援呢?只能說換湯不換藥。裝修後圖書館的館藏,數量不見得有所增多,而擺放我至今還未能適應,無他,施工期間轉換次數頻繁,現在的指示也有欠清晰。….. 青菜蘿蔔各有所愛,我還是較喜歡以前圖書館略舊的書卷氣息(惜現在恬靜雅緻不再,只餘摩登時尚,從何時開始飲在圖書館飲食已變得光明正大?)。在此聊聊幾句,望教大大興土木裝修圖書館之際,也能培訓職員、提昇服務質素。 | Comments noted. Estates Office and the Library have spent enormous efforts in consulting different user groups when re-designing the Library layout, including a series of public forums. The new design is appreciated by most of our users. But we fully understand that we cannot please every single user and our services still need refinement. All library users, including external members, may use most library facilities if they are not booked by eligible users. We believe it is totally legitimate to give priority to EdUHK students and staff in using EdUHK Library resources, and we will uphold this policy. |
– 1. 關於手機信息通知書籍到期:如果可以自己定制提醒的時間和次數就更好了,提前三天提醒有的時候會被忘記,提醒效果不是很好。 … – I suggest changing the time of due date reminder from 3 days into 1 day before the deadline. Or, adding one more reminding email 1 day before the date might be more friendly to users. – …催還制度可以改進嗎,現在只提前三天提醒,應該倒數三天每天都提醒 … – 除三日前提醒renew外, 可否到期日再提醒一次。 | The current INNOPAC library system can only send one courtesy reminder email or SMS message before the due date which is currently set at three days in advance. Ex Libris Alma, the new library system shared by all 8 UGC-funded university libraries, will be implemented in mid-2017. Hopefully the functionality of courtesy reminder could be enhanced by then. |
– 1.希望給予”畢業生”在畢業後可繼續使用圖書館服務及電腦. 2.希望可以加設24hours咖啡機或咖啡店服務. | All graduates of EdUHK are eligible to apply for Library Alumni Membership. Details can be found on Library Website at http://www.lib.eduhk.hk/alumni/. A coffee machine has been installed inside the Lounge on G/F of Mong Man Wai Library. 100 cups of free coffee will be offered daily to students and staff, Monday to Friday starting from 8:15 am, on a first-come-first-served basis. Vending machines providing drinks and snacks are also available on 24-hour basis at the Lounge on G/F of the Mong Man Wai Library. |
– 24小時開放圖書館地下洗手間非常好,女生不用半夜做功課懷着懼怕的心情出去找手間。考時期間開放時段非常好(加長開放間,對兼讀學生排常有幫助)。但很可惜圖書館地下沒有彩色列印,做教材及交功課非常不方便,一所專業/大學圖書館,難以想像/不應一部彩色列印機也沒有,學生是非常需要彩色列交功課及做教材(圖表、圖片及美術科),彩色影印作用不大,學生交功課/做教材未能列印,可來影印?在非繁忙時間借書時如有需可否要求職員蓋印還書日期?(例如,沒有人排隊,職員好得閒),借書時不應一刀切任時段間也不蓋還書印,每一個時段都有學生排長龍借書嗎?圖書不應行政方便,而忽視學生借書蓋印需要嗎?職員在閒着為何不可提供蓋還書印?現在借書好有壓力,因為好難記得每本何時借?何借還?很怕被罰錢。雖然有催還制度,難度忙着工作、進修,每天也要開上網看看那本書被催還嗎?可否在學生借書時,問學生是否需要蓋還書日期?因為不同時段借十本以上的書,學生會好混亂那本書可時還書?這也是其他同學遇到的問題,請體恤學生的需要及困難!(不樂觀圖書館/館長/職員會彈性處理為學生蓋還書印日期),因為不是每個人也願意體恤別人需要或多角度看問題。 整體來說圖書館職員親切友善。 | Thanks for your comments. Two new colour printers with copying function have already been installed on G/F and 1/F of MMW Library. Wi-Fi printing and copying is also supported by these two new machines The Library has asked about not stamping due dates in the last Library User Survey. Majority of respondents supported this arrangement. For users who prefer stamping due dates, date due slips and chops are available for self-service at the Circulation Counter. |
– Lean periods for senior research staff are short by international comparisons. The frequency of book recalls is disruptive to prelonged engagement of library resources for research purposes. | Comments on loan period will be considered in our regular review of loan rules. For Recall System, please refer to our earlier responses. |
– Loan period is too short. The due date should be fallen on weekdays only so that staff could return the borrowed materials on time. Books are too old and outdated. Library should buy more new books so that staff could make references to. | Comments noted. Please see our earlier responses on loan period. Staff members are welcome to recommend titles via library’s online recommendation form at https://apps.lib.ied.edu.hk/recomform/ or via the Library Liaison Officer of their department. |
– 希望Reserve book 借左7日後 可以網上續借一次 | Thanks for your comments. Books at the Reserve Collection are usually in high demand. In order to allow more students to use the reserve materials, neither renewals nor request for checked out reserves are allowed. Users may borrow other copies which are available at the Circulation Collection or from other UGC libraries via the HKALL services. |
– 教職員可借出的書籍數量可以增加嗎,現在的quota不能滿足需要同時研究和教學(很多時候是不同課題)的大批量需要… – I suggest: – To increase the loan quotas from 40 to 60 for HKIEd staff – To increase the maximum no. of renewals from 3 to 4 – 外借期限及數量可增加 – is it possible to increase the no. of quota for borrowing books to 50 for each staff? | Loan quotas for academic staff and students has been increased from 60 to 80 and 40 to 50 respectively with effect from 1 July 2016. Academic staff may contact the Library if they have any special needs. |
– 1) For those reserve books, can the library relax the rules and allow borrowing during the summer? … | Some courses have been arranged to take place during summer time and the Library has to support their teaching and learning. Users may contact the Library if they have special needs on using materials in the Reserve Collection. |
– 遲還罰款太貴, 若學生要為實習借不少書,但不住在大埔附近(如住屯門, 來回大埔校園時間需4小時)且暫時不能回校,會造成不便及負擔(有學生試過被罰金300多元) – Make reference to Hong Kong Public Library. After the book/item was over-due, the users can still renew that books/items through Internet (fine will recorded at computer account). That is quite important and it will give greater convenience and flexibility to users. Thank you for consideration. – … 圖書館書籍過期後,必須親身到校園圖書館流通服務方能辦理續借,這樣實在太不方便,尤其大埔校園圖書館地處偏僻,交通不便、通勤耗時。 參考其他大學圖書館(如地段優越,位處紅磡的理工),當書籍過期後,若沒有其他讀者要求借閱,原借閱者是可以網上辦理續借的,成功續借後亦不會追收罰款。 這樣好處不少: 1:若過期書籍數量很多,而借閱者又因教習需要保留,過期續借可省卻雙方辦理手續續借、及來回校園的交通時間及金錢; 2:若遇上學校長假期、公幹外遊等,教職員或學生未及網上續借,但又無法親到圖書館歸還或續借,只能無奈增加罰款,這亦令人有對圖書館思維和網絡技術不靈活的觀感。 若果技術可以的話,在這些細節上可多從讀者角度思考,應允許原借閱者過期後某個指定期限(如一兩三天內),進行續借,方便彼此相得益彰。 另外圖書館要與時並進,亦應多借鑒其他大學圖書館的管理和運作。 要求教育學院圖書館,考慮仿效嶺南大學及浸會大學簽訂協議,如以互相對等開放資源為由而請求其他個別院校對本校自資學士課程進一步開放圖書館資源。參考連結如下: http://library.hkbu.edu.hk/about/otherserv_JULAC_reader.html According to a special arrangement with Lingnan University Library, HKBU undergraduates can simply present their student cards to gain access. No JULAC Reader Card is required. http://www.library.ln.edu.hk/services/borrowing/library-card-applications#reader 要求考慮提供借閱證予本校學生(包括學士、高級文憑、副學位等)前往其他院校的圖書館。參考連結:http://library.hkbu.edu.hk/about/otherserv_reader_card.html | Thanks for the comments and suggestions. They will be considered in our regular review of loan rules. The reciprocal access arrangement between HKBU and LU does not apply to students of self-financed programmes. Both libraries have no interests in further expanding this arrangement and we must respect their decision. |

– 如2樓 A-D及LB書籍用書架擺放更佳 | Some regular books have been temporarily shelved at the compact shelves during the Mong Man Wai Library Spatial Reorganization Project. With the Project finished in summer 2016, the compact shelves on 2/F now mainly hold less frequently used items such as back issues of print journals, Major Book Series and Reference books. |

– … 然而,圖書上錯架的問題好像被以往嚴重(還是電腦標錯地點?),圖書館職員也較難替使用者找尋圖書的下落。 … 圖書館進行了改建和維修後,圖書館面貌和以前有很大出入,希望圖書館有配套(e.g. mass email) 讓使用者更了解新的圖書館,書藏及設施位置,每層要注意事項 (e.g. 1樓可以輕聲討論)。… | Thanks for your comments and suggestions. We are sending out messages to students and staff on the new facilities available in the Library. Please refer to our earlier responses on temporary relocations of collections due to renovation. |
– 希望兼有中文標示,中英文書籍分層或分區放置 | Thanks for your comments. Directories and most of the signage inside the Library are bilingual. Users may also approach Library staff for assistance if problem is found in locating library materials or facilities. All library collections are filed by Library of Congress Classification Scheme. Materials on the same subject in different languages are filed together to provide a one-stop access for users. |
– 圖書館經常有missing books, 這個情況非常常見。本人這兩個月來有4本書在library 顯示為available, 在書架卻原完找不到。 我相信這些情況在其他大學圖書館甚少發生,至少我在其他大學修讀時從未遇到過。 HKIED 圖書館必須有系統地管理圖書館內的館藏。 | Comments noted. Users may approach counter staff for assistance or report the problem for their follow up. |
– 一樓的兒童繪本書架上的書, 電腦搜尋時顯示有想要的書在書架上, 但不時在架上都找不到, 而且部分架的書排放混亂, 難於找尋想要的繪本或圖書 … | Comments noted. Users may approach our counter staff when they have difficulties in locating library materials. |
– 大埔校園蒙民偉圖書館裝潢後,環境比以往舒適,更寬敞,但水牌指示很不清晰,常常找不到要找的書籍,望多加留意,盡快加設水牌提示 | We are working on the new signage system. Hopefully all major signs will be ready in the next few weeks. |
– I’m pleased to see steady improvement in the quality of services provided by our library in the last few years, despite the inconvenience during the renovation period. For one thing, I managed to find most of the things I’m looking for, including some dated items – disappointed only very infrequently. If there is one problem, it has to do with the signage for references and their physical locations (books in the circulation section and dictionaries in particular). It would be nice if they could be made in a more user-friendly manner. | Comments noted. We are now working on the new signage system. |
– Quite many students discuss at the Quiet zone, e.g. G/F computers. It is necessary to post up more reminding signage. | Comments noted and thanks for the suggestions. Appropriate signs will be posted to alert users. |
– 1、圖書館的館藏分佈圖應該有個明顯的地方張貼公佈 2、如每層的圖書館後,應讓讀者能一目了然地知道某個英文代碼的書籍是放在該室的左邊還是右邊,也就是要有個明確的指示 3、每個書櫃應有突出於書櫃外的字體足夠大的指示牌,顯示所藏圖書的類別,而不必令讀者要完全走近書櫃,像近視眼那樣看,才知道該書櫃放的是什麼字母的書籍,很不方便! – … 2. 裝修期間, 找不到想要圖書, 雖然見到staff已盡力保存圖書, 但基本上找不到參考圖書, 極不方便, 有礙做功課. … | Comments noted. We are working on the new signage system to provide better and clearer direction to our users. |
– … 3. 過去一年中,在圖書館網上搜尋的書,經常在書架上找不到!不知道是否因為新安排導致,因為以前從未發生過! | Comments noted. Please see our earlier responses on temporary collection relocations. |
– 部分的教科書被人寫了東西在上面,當人還書時,管理員可檢查書本,亦提醒同學不要畫花圖書。 | Thanks for your suggestion. Keeping library materials or facilities in good condition will also require cooperation and self-discipline of all library users. |
– 圖書館的職員的借閱跟進有不足的地方,讓借閱者白走一場 | Comments noted. Please contact the Access Services Librarian to follow up your case. |
– 經常發現同學於圖書館飲食,令到桌上有咖啡漬,地下有食物渣,招惹螞蟻,建議加管學生。 另外,4樓自修室影印機太近附近坐位,有人使用時噪音很大,十分影響學習。 就香港教科書上架方面,我個人認為時間及人力許可的話,可以以年級上下AB冊上架,現在架上經常是次序混亂,查找需時較長。 … | Comments noted. Photocopier on 4/F has been moved away from the Learning Commons. Library staff will take action on users who are found eating and drinking outside the Lounge. However, maintaining a clean and tidy study area will still require cooperation and self-discipline of all library users. When assistance is needed, users can contact Library staff immediately so that appropriate actions can be taken. Library Regulations have also been revised for better management of library facilities. Suggestion on arrangement of HK school textbooks will be considered. |
– … 此外,隨著香港教育學院學術典藏(本校職員及學生出版著作數據庫) HKIEd Research Repository (database of publications by HKIEd staff and students) 網站更新,令多個網址軌道不正確(死link, 錯link)… | We have reviewed and updated all those broken links. Links will be checked on regular basis to ensure their accessibility. Users are encouraged to report any problem or send their comments and suggestions on the EdUHK Research Repository by e-mail to librep@eduhk.hk |
– … 最後,本人亦認為現時設施預約制度並未完全了解學生需要,希望可以改善(例:2小時為一時段,可是學生大多20-30分才下課;每一時段check in 一次尚可接受,但要是學生沒check in是否就要被迫讓位?又或者有學生預約了沒出現,等到20分才知道/能預約有點過遲。) | Comments noted with thanks. The suggestion will be implemented shortly. |
– …..希望non-regular staff’s dependant享有和regular staff dependant同樣的使用圖書館的權利 | Comments noted and the suggestion has been relayed to the Human Resources Office. |
– 服務支援方面,個人認為參差不齊,曾在服務台查詢校友服務、申辦圖書證、聯校證及查找個人物品等,均被敷衍轉介至借還櫃位,感覺服務台職員並不樂於助人,寧可電話談天也不多作解釋(特別希望長髮女職員可收起黑面以禮待人,至今難忘其不耐煩)。但實在不明白究竟可向服務台查詢什麼,因為每每都被轉介至借還櫃位,猶幸櫃位職員借還書之餘尚願意耐心解答。 – 2) Some staff, esp. a couple of female staff, at the Information Centre have to improve their service and learning attitude. They were not friendly and helpful and could not really offer help to my inquiries. – … 圖書館職員大聲說話。… | Comments noted and will be followed up. |
