跨学校借书期限延长We cannot change HKALL book loan period by ourselves because they are set up based on mutual agreement among all eight UGC-funded university libraries.
能夠借書到將軍澳及北角分校取書的安排十分方便。Thank you for your compliment.
I love the service of borrowing books from other libraries but can the loan period be longer?For most EdUHK staff and students, they can already keep a book with a loan period of 30 days or more for an unlimited period as long as they maintain their EdUHK status and nobody else request for this particular book. Please check the Library Regulation #4.4 for details https://www.lib.eduhk.hk/about/policies-regulations/regulations#4 or contact counter staff for assistance.

電子設備太少、時期太短又沒法續借The VR-AR-Media equipment loan period is set to 7 days and non-renewable to allow more users to borrow.
I once borrowed about 9-10 books using my mobile phone. When I exited the alarm beeped. It turned out that some of the books were not checked out. I know I scanned all the books, so I wonder if there was a limit on the number of books you can scan at one time? I scanned all the books and only clicked "check out" once at the end. If there is a limit, e.g. we should click "check out" every 5 books etc., could that be made more clear ?For mobile borrowing, the app allows users to scan up to 5 books at a time. If users try to scan more than 5, the app will only display the first 5 items, and any further items will not appear in the list for checkout. To borrow the remaining items, users need to tap “Borrow Items” to finish the first checkout, and then start another transaction to scan and borrow the next set (up to 5 books).
notice email for returning books and be more frequent An email reminder will be sent to the borrower 3 days before an item is due for return. Users may also sign up for the Library SMS Alert Service at https://sms.lib.eduhk.hk/ and also receive a SMS reminder in addition.

If the final dead-due is on a Sunday or Public Holiday, can you not charge overdue fees? If not, we have to return to the campus just to return the books.Overdue fees are calculated based on the due date and the Library’s opening hours, including when the due date falls on a weekend or public holiday.
按照学校规定提供更多的归还点In addition to MMW Library and TKOSC Library, users can also return borrowed items to North Point Study Centre, West Kowloon Study Centre (Austin Road) or West Kowloon Study Centre (Museum Drive). Please check https://www.lib.eduhk.hk/access-borrowing/returning for more details.
