The Library was a hive of activity the week before Chinese New Year. Twelve e-resource workshops as well as a two-day database vendor exhibition were held in the week of February 9. The rich and dense program drew more than 800 participants (both staff and students) to our workshops and to the exhibition booths in the Library Gallery. Participants learnt about our highlighted databases, took a quiz, and were entered into a Grand Lucky Draw. Workshop instructors, vendor representatives, and Library staff were eager to help all quiz-takers find the correct answers. All participants learned, searched and stood a good chance to win great prizes.
The event came to a jovial conclusion on February 25, when Ms Diana Chan, University Librarian, and Mr K T Lam, Associate University Librarian, congratulated the winners and presented their prizes. Thanks to our generous sponsors, prizes ranged from Starbucks coupons for our most active participant, Apple Store gift cards, a Galaxy TabPro, a Xiaomi phone and an IPAD Air for our Lucky Draw winners.
In a survey after the event, participants were all very supportive of the E-Discovery Week. 95% of respondents rated the event as good/excellent; and almost 100% agreed that they learnt more about library resources via E-Discovery Week, and would continue to use them. Students welcome engaging and interactive ways to learn and they want more of this!
