TV PROGRAMS : The Library has recorded TV programs produced by ATV, RTHK, and TVB since 1985, particular those useful for teaching and learning. Now, we are gradually converting these programs to online videos for the convenience of users. The DVD copies are still kept on shelves for borrowing. Due to licenses, both formats can be watched within campus only. SCHOLARLY TALKS : Starting from 2009, we have also piloted to capture selected scholarly events held at HKBU for teaching, learning and archival purposes. The selection criteria lie in event content, our resources, and speakers' willingness to release their copyright. Although we work for providing these videos to all internet users, speakers mandate the means of dissemination.

The Multimedia Learning Centre (MLC) manages and houses diverse types of AV materials, including DVDs, VCDs, CDs, VHS, and audiocassettes. Language learning kits are also provided to facilitate language learning and proficiency in different languages. We also have a collection of replica Chinese paintings and microforms of journal and newspaper back issues.

We strive to balance the needs of different users. Your effort to return the items on time is much appreciated by the Library and other users. Go to fine schedule.

All library users are welcome to watch or listern to our AV materials in MLC by using our equipment. Our staff are always ready to provide technical assistance for the users in need. AV CARRELS : We provide 30 AV carrels with full sets of AV equipment, each can accommodate up to 2 users. Please register at the MLC Counter before use. GROUP VIEWING ROOMS : Two group viewing rooms, for 3 to 10 and 3 to 20 users respectively, are available for enjoying and discussing AV materials. Please find further details and reserve the room on the online reservation form. MUSIC LISTENING AREA : This cosy and comfortable area is arranged with couches, mini Hi-Fi, and plasma TV for watching news, cultural programs, and BUTV (the University's TV channel).

Another nice feature of MLC is the provision of over 50 PCs, each equipped with Microsoft Office, SPSS, and internet connection. Go to PC configurations. Over 30 PCs are located in the computer laboratory, which is also available to library users whenever the lab is not scheduled for library workshops. Please check the Computer Lab Schedule before use.
