In response to the record breaking participation, Knovel has upped the stakes. To reward the schools with the most activity, they’re  adding an additional prize for the top performing school. At the end of the contest, a student at the school with the most entries will be awarded a brand new eco-friendly Toshiba laptop.

To access Knovel and play the game, go to http://library.hku.hk/record=b2518206 .

For an update on how the contest is shaping up, check out the leaderboard below.

Due to essential site maintenance, access may be interrupted during the indicated date and time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

In order to lower the library’s recurring resource liability to compensate for its
budget deficit, the following three aggregated databases will not be renewed upon expiry.

Other alternative resources that will continue to be made available include ProQuest 5000 International, EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier, Factiva and Lexis.com. Eligible users may also request needed materials via Interlibrary Loan.

More information on the library’s budget challenges and the steps taken to contain cost can be found in the latest issue of FOCUS (see ‘Electronic Resources Rationalization). Thank you for your support with these difficult decisions.
