Do not fill this in! ===Library=== HKBU Library is an essential component of the University, providing academic resources, support for learning, and research assistance to the HKBU community. It was established concurrently with the founding of Hong Kong Baptist College in 1956. As the institution grew and became a full-fledged university in 1994, the library expanded its collections and services. The College’s first library was called the Bessie Fleming Library, after the wife of donor William Fleming. In 1975 the Lui Ming Choi Library was added and became the circulating library, while the Bessie Fleming Library became a reference library. In December 1984 the Fong Shu Chuen Library was opened. In 1995, the Au Shue Hung Memorial Library (AML) replaced the Fong Shu Chuen Library as the main library serving the University. This library now houses most of the collection and study areas. Apart from the AML, there are three branch libraries: the European Documentation Centre (established in 1996), the Dr. Stephen Riady Chinese Medicine Library (opened in 2001), and the Shek Mun Campus Library (opened in 2006). <ref>{{Cite web |title=About the University Library - About Us |url=https://library.hkbu.edu.hk/about-us/about-the-university-library/ |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=HKBU Library |language=en-US}}</ref> With the advent of the digital era, HKBU Library has placed more emphasis on electronic resources to facilitate learning and research. The physical collection has been gradually reduced in size, while investments in digital information resources including through digitization have been increased. In recent years, the library has committed to accelerating research and knowledge transfer by fostering an open access culture and enhancing the visibility of HKBU research output. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Library Strategic Priorities 2022-25 - About Us |url=https://library.hkbu.edu.hk/about-us/library-strategic-priorities-2022-25/ |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=HKBU Library |language=en-US}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
