119. The Rise of the Innovation Commons: A Conversation with City University of Hong Kong’s Candy Lau.

Author

*RESEARCH universities & colleges
Abstract

Founded in 1984 as the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong, it became a fully accredited university and was renamed the City University of Hong Kong in 1994. It became a public research university located in Kowloon, Hong Kong and is uniquely situated in the vicinity of the Festival Walk Mall. City University of Hong Kong, which is globally recognized as a top institution of higher learning and research, is currently ranked #57 in the world in the QS World University Rankings and ranked #2 in Asia by the U.S. News & World Report. Although not a large space, how the Innovation Commons was creatively repurposed using existing library space into a collaborative learning environment is a model worthy of a closer examination. Established collaboratively between the university library, the School of Law, the Knowledge Transfer Office, and the Education Development and Gateway Education, the Innovation Commons serves as a one-stop resource center physically located inside the university’s Run Run Shaw Library. In short, the Innovation Commons is a unique draw for students and the campus community as the hub for community engagement, entrepreneurship, and innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The purpose of this research study is to paint a clearer picture of one of the pioneers of Canada, Seto More (also known as Seto Ying-Shek).

This paper builds on his life as a resource guide and offers researchers an important opportunity to build on the work laid out by librarians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
