Migration to new Library System and HKALL book requesting

On 17th  July 2017, all eight UGC-funded university libraries will adopt a shared integrated library system (ILS) and discovery system to replace eight stand-alone library systems. The new shared ILS will allow patrons to search, request, and access collections from the eight libraries seamlessly. More information is available here:lib.hku.hk/newils/index.html.

To facilitate the implementation of our new shared ILS, please take note of the important dates affecting HKALL book requesting:

Monday 5th June Last day to request for HKALL items
Tuesday 6th June – Monday 17th July Temporary suspension of HKALL request service. Interlibrary Loans (ILLiad) service is available to eligible patrons during the interim period
Thursday 15th June Last day to return HKALL items
Monday 17th July New shared ILS goes into operation
