圖書館迎新 Library Orientation

新學年即將開始,新生們除了正忙著選課和搬進宿舍外,亦要花時間熟悉中大的各項設施,圖書館便是其中之一。

過去在電腦還未普及使用的時候,茫茫書海中找一本書並非易事,所以早於1970年代,中大圖書館便舉辦新生輔導,介紹圖書館服務及藏書。當時還有演講介紹「卡片目錄使用法」˴「國會圖書館分類法」˴各科參考書目等;另印有《圖書館手冊》,詳列圖書館開放時間˴借書規則˴圖書館平面圖等資料,供師生查閲。

隨著互聯網發展,上述資訊不少都可以在圖書館網頁裡找到。中大圖書館在每年學期伊始仍然舉辦多場迎新講座,内容包括介紹圖書館內電子及印刷本的學術資源˴圖書館服務及設施˴大學圖書館導賞等。當然,同學如對圖書館服務有任何疑問,可隨時聯絡圖書館職員。

The new academic year of CUHK is about to begin. The new students are busy selecting courses and moving into hostels. They also need to spend time familiarizing themselves with the facilities of the University, and indeed the CUHK Library is one of them.

In the old days, when computers were not widely used, locating a book in library was a challenging task. Therefore since 1970s the CUHK Library has started to provide students the orientation to library’s services and collections. Instructions on the uses of the card catalogue, the Library of Congress Classification scheme, and basic information on subject bibliographies, etc., were given. The Library had also printed the University Library Handbook which introducing the Library services such as the library opening hours, borrowing rules, and floor plans, etc.

With the development of the Internet, many of the above information can be found on the Library webpage. CUHK Library still held a number of orientations at the beginning of the academic year. Topics include finding online and print academic resources, services and facilities, and guided tour of the University Library. Of course, students who have any questions about library services can contact the library staff at any time.

《香港中文大學圖書館手冊》(1976)——1976年本科生只能借書十本,兩星期内歸還,最多續借兩次;現在的中大本科生可借書一百本,三十天歸還,最多可續借至一百八十天!
The Chinese University of Hong Kong University Library System Handbook (1976)——In 1976, CUHK undergraduate students could only borrow 10 books, return them within two weeks, and renew them at most twice. Now the students can borrow 100 books, return them in 30 days, and renew up to 180 days!


如何使用圖書館卡片目錄 (1970年代)——先走進卡片目錄櫃的方陣中,按作者或書名的字母或筆劃順序,鎖定有關櫃子,再逐頁翻查,查到後按卡上所列位置往書架找書。要是書本已借出或是被錯置,之前的一番工夫便白費了。
How to use the Library Card Catalogue (1970s)——First, you selected the right card catalogue cabinet and drawer by author or title, or number of strokes of the title for Chinese books. Second, you went through the cards for the book you wanted. Lastly, you proceeded to the relevant book shelf. If the book had been borrowed or misplaced, your previous effort would go to waste.
