The Yu Chun Keung Medical Library, formerly
the Lee Hysan Medical Library, is named in memory of the late
Mr Yu Chun Keung for his generous donation and support. Completed
in January 2002, it is designed as a state-of-the-art facility
in the Faculty of Medicine Building, well equipped with sophisticated
information technology to provide a virtual learning environment
conducive to study and research.
The mission of the Yu Chun Keung Medical
Library is to serve the curriculum, research, continuing education,
and patient care needs of the University of Hong Kong and
its Medical Faculty. It is an integral part of the University
Libraries comprising significant digital resources, multimedia
as well as extensive print collections on biomedical and health
sciences. Its overall aim is to become a regional centre of
excellence in support of teaching, research and scholarship
in these fields. The Collection traces its origin back to the
founding, in 1887, of the Hong Kong College of Medicine for
Chinese, forerunner of the University of Hong Kong Faculty
of Medicine. The Library became a World Health Organization
Depository Library in 1993.
