The successful implementations of Intranet and VideoNet have opened up a series of new services. Now sitting comfortably in your office, you can read newspaper, listen to the radio or even watch TV all on your networked PC. In the past, you might be used to buying
a newspaper on your way to work. Why not change your habit and read
the electronic version being delivered to your PC instead? It is
absolutely free no matter how many of them you read. You may also
glance at all the headlines and clippings of different newspapers. To learn what is happening in Hong
Kong and worldwide, you may want to listen to the hourly updated
News Summary of RTHK. If listening is not good enough, you
can watch the Cable TV news channels. There are totally six news
channels including Cable News 1, Cable News 2, CNN, BBC, Discovery
Channel and CNBC which bring you the most up-to-date local and
worldwide news. The broadcasting of the Disney Deal is a good example.
Newsletter provides links to CityU publications such as Linkage and University Bulletin. If your department has any Web-based publications, you are welcome to provide us with your URL. We can help promote it by adding a link to your publication on the Newsletter page. Reference collects some important information on hot topics like the Merit Based Reward Scheme Papers. It should be noted that for radio and television broadcast, you have to enable your PC to talk by adding a sound card and a pair of speakers. Stay tuned with CityU Intranet and experience the convenience and efficiency that technology brings you! |
