New Library System Shared by UGC-Funded University Libraries

In the coming July, INNOPAC Millennium, the current library system which has been in place for over 20 years since 1995 will be replaced by Ex Libris’ Alma, a new library system and Primo, a new library resources discovery tool shared by all eight UGC-funded university libraries including CityU, CUHK, EdUHK, HKBU, HKU, HKUST, LU and PolyU. In order to prepare for the system migration, EdUHK’s online library system and library catalogue will be temporarily suspended for 4 days from 29 June 2017 (Thursday) to 2 July 2017 (Sunday). Online holds and requests, online renewals and HKALL will also be affected.
