Books can be requested and borrowed from the other seven UGC-funded university libraries via Hong Kong Academic Library Link (HKALL), and copies of journal articles and book chapters can be requested via the global RAPID document delivery service. Postgraduate students can also request books or journal articles not found at the Library from other local non-UGC academic libraries or even from our overseas partner libraries. They can also apply online for a JULAC Library Card to gain access to and to borrow books in person from other UGC-funded university libraries.
