Library Cooperation and Resource Sharing

At the national level, we have established close cooperation amongst major medical libraries through the inter-library loan facilities. While at the Ministry of Health level, the HKL Library provides library attachments and training to Library Assistants from other hospital libraries. HKL library also accepts applications from students from local universities for practical training in Library and Information Science.

Library Automation, Networking and Classification

Currently, Integrated Library Automation Utility (ILMU) served the organization of library collection except for serial. The library also provided internet access to the users where 8 personal computers have been allocated for this purpose. We practice booking system or first come first serve basis. The use of PCs for non HKL staff are not allowed. Access to PCs/Internet are subjected to fixed schedule.

Organization of Materials

The organization of medical books are based on National Library of Medicine Classification System (NLM), while general collections are referred to Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC).
