The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) University Library has made four full-text image databases available on the campus network. The full-text databases are from the fields of physical science and engineering, business, and social sciences.
The University Library occupies a central location at the university, and has a collection of approximately 500,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals, as well as a sizeable collection of electronic and non-print material. The library online system forms part of a campus-wide network and is therefore accessible from every part of the campus. Through the library online system users are able to consult CD-ROM databases as well as the full-text image databases. The library is also linked to libraries and databases in institutions locally and overseas.
As well as the full-text image databases the library also offers the Digital University Archives which contains the full text of public material stored in the university archives. There is also the HKUST Electronic Theses Database available which contains the Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses of the university.
