Beyond Studying: Wellness & Fragrance 🌿

More than just a study space, the Library continues to grow as a vibrant hub for creativity, wellness, and personal enrichment. 🎨✨

We recently teamed up 🤝 with DSTO to host a DIY Perfume Cream Workshop. 🧴

Participants explored the art and language of perfume making, created their own signature scents, and experienced the soothing, stress-relieving power of aromatherapy. 🌸💧

Missed it? Stay tuned for more personal enrichment events at the Library! 📚💛

HKUST Impact Makers

Last year, 16 Library colleagues volunteered their time to give back to the community ❤️.

From buddy reading 📚 to beach clean-ups 🏖️ and sorting clothes for recycling ♻️, our team showed that our care goes way beyond the bookshelves. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made a real impact!

On 4 May, we were honoured with the Outstanding Volunteer Engagement Award 🏆 at the HKUST Impact Makers Appreciation Ceremony 2026 - recognising the highest proportion of staff participation across the University.

This achievement belongs to every colleague who gave their time and care. Let’s keep the momentum going ✨

Our "Taste of Digital Scholarship" talk with Professor Chung was a huge hit! 👏

We were excited to see so much interest from students and staff.

Professor Chung shared his recent project, which uses fine-tuned vision–language models to enable OCR for low-resource historical texts. 🤖📜 The resulting model achieves high accuracy on real-world historical Manchu sources, opening up new possibilities for applying AI to humanities research! 💡

Stay tuned! The Library is planning an upcoming talk this Fall to showcase another project from our Digital Humanities Initiative.

Get ready for more tastes of digital scholarship! 🗓️
