Need credible background information to start your research?

Make Credo Reference your first stop! https://search-credoreference-com.lib-ezproxy.hkbu.edu.hk/

This Library database provides information ranging from encyclopedias, dictionaries, to fact books. An excellent way to get start with a topic or concept.

And unlike Wikipedia, you can cite it in your assignments 😁

Due to traffic disruption and damage to campus facilities, the Library has been closed since 11:00am on 11 November 2019. We greatly regret the inconvenience this has caused 🙁

Given the exceptional circumstances, all Library fines incurred during the extended closure will be waived. You can return items within 3 days of the Library reopening. Our automated system will still send out overdue reminders - please ignore these.

If you are no longer in Hong Kong or otherwise unable to return your items, don't worry. Just send an email to libcir@hkbu.edu.hk providing your HKBU ID, the title of the item(s), and details of your request.

For those that have items waiting for them in the Library for pickup, these will be held for an additional 5 days after the Library reopens.

We hope that the Library will be able to reopen on Monday 18 November. For the latest updates, refer to the Library website. In the meantime, stay safe and take care! 🙏🙏 ... See more
