The Library has recently completed the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Project, which enhances the borrowing and returning experience while improving the tracking and management of library materials.

With the new RFID-enabled system, users can conveniently borrow and return multiple items in a single transaction at the self-check stations. The self-check service offers a quick and efficient way to borrow and return library materials. Please refer to the on-screen instructions for guidance.

With a modern and intuitive user interface, the upgraded Institutional Repository provides an enhanced experience for discovering SFU’s research outputs and staff publications.

• Showcase University Outputs: View lists of scholarly works by Schools or by Researchers, with links to ORCID profiles provided on Researchers’ pages
• Maximize Research Visibility: Access full-text of publications with just one click to related library e-resources and publisher websites
• Increase Citaiton Impact: Check updated citation counts provided by Scopus and Web of Science

Let’s explore the upgraded Institutional Repository now.

To align with the financial administration of the University and to facilitate the transaction process, the Library does not accept cash payments for its services and fines from July onwards.

As an alternative, the following payment methods are available at the service counters:

• Alipay HK
• Mastercard
• Octopus
• UnionPay Credit Card
• Visa Card
• WeChat Pay HK

We are excited to announce the launch of our newly revamped library website, designed to provide a more user-friendly experience than ever before! The redesigned site comes with a range of new features, including:

• A modern, updated design
• Simplified and more intuitive navigation
• Enhanced access to library resources and services
• A Mobile-friendly interface for browsing

We invite you to explore the new website and discover its latest updates, services, and features designed to better support your learning and research needs.

To enhance users’ efficiency in locating resources, the Library has launched the Discovery Search AI. It is a generative AI-powered tool which allows users to ask research questions in natural language and get responses culled from 5 most relevant sources.

For instructions of use, please refer to Discovery Search AI guide.
