As our continuous commitment to improve library services, we will slightly adjust our PC usage policy so as to achieve a fairer allocation principle. The Library will implement a user-based 4-hour daily quota to PCs at the Media and selected PCs in the LAW areas with effect from 5 Oct 2020. The new measure will be applied to 43 PCs at the mentioned areas only, while current usage quota of PC usages at Information Space and Oval will remain the same.
Users are reminded to pay attention to the remaining time displayed on screen. Since the PCs will be shutdown automatically after reaching the daily quota, users are advised to save working documents to external or cloud storage regularly in order to avoid data loss. Please approach our counter staff for further enquiries. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
Please check Counter Service Hours for the latest opening hours and counter service hours of the Library.

This event is a collaboration with The Hong Kong Society for the Blind Information Accessibility Centre (HKSBIAC) to promote lighthouse heritage conservation as well as audio description service.
在香港海事博物館舉辦「燈塔記憶：多元與共融」 展覽之後，邵逸夫圖書館將於2020年6月22日至29日，聯同香港盲人輔導會（HKSBIAC）舉辦「香港與澎湖燈塔百年意象 — 聽憶築迷你展覽」，以推廣燈塔文化和口述影像。展覽場地位於邵逸夫圖書館2樓展覽區和多螢幕虛擬實境(CAVE)。
With active participation of students and staff of COM and LT, the exhibition is part of the library-based Lighthouse Heritage Research Connections (LHRC) project to encourage students to go beyond the scope of their academic backgrounds through conducting research-based explorations of historical lighthouses. These explorations make use not only of the library's hidden treasures, but also other resources from museums and galleries worldwide. In the LHRC project, non-SEN participants have had the opportunity to observe how the visually impaired and the blind experience lighthouse heritage through tactile graphs, braille (English and Cantonese), poetry, 3D Models, 360 panoramic image, and calligraphy artworks with audio descriptions.
在媒體與傳播系和翻譯及語言學系的師生的積極參與下，本次展覽是基於圖書館的燈塔古蹟研習實踐項目（LHRC）的一部分，旨在通過對燈塔進行研究來鼓勵學生運用知識。這些研究不僅讓同學得以運用圖書館館藏，還利用了來自世界各地博物館和美術館的其他資源。在LHRC項目中，非SEN參展者有機會通過觸摸教材，點字（英語和粵語），詩歌，3D模型，360度全景圖像以及附有口述影像的書法藝術品，觀察視障者如何學習燈塔文化。
In this exhibition, students will share and demonstrate their creative works of 3D models and tactile materials such as Xiyu Lighthouse Pagoda built in 1778 and restored in 1823, Fisher Island Lighthouse built in 1875, Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse erected in 1875. We will also show a lighthouse related Chinese calligraphy artwork created by Professor Ambrose King.
在這個展覽中，學生將分享和展示他們製作的3D模型和觸摸教材，例如1778年建造，1823年恢復使用的西嶼燈塔，1875年建造的漁翁島燈塔，1875年豎立的鶴咀燈塔。我們還將展示由金耀基教授創作，與燈塔相關的中國書法藝術品。
During the past three years, our students have been highly involved in the fieldwork of exploring the lighthouse heritage and a variety of creative works. For further readings, please visit the following references.
在過去三年中，我們的學生參與了探索燈塔遺產和製作各種創意教材。欲了解詳情，請瀏覽以下網址。
The exhibition puts emphasis on diversity and inclusion. Visitors are encouraged to touch/feel the exhibits as well as listen to the audio descriptions to learn the architectural structures and stories of lighthouses. We will offer a virtual reality experience to observe the present lighthouse heritage.
是次展覽強調多元和包容，鼓勵參觀者觸摸/感受展品，並聆聽口述影像說明，以學習燈塔的建築結構和故事。我們也提供虛擬實境體驗，以模擬燈塔現場情況。
All are welcome!
歡迎所有人士參與！
We would like to extend a special invitation to SEN readers to come and participate.
在此，我們特別邀請有特殊教育需要的讀者前來參觀展覽。
