HSS Library


On the second day of my internship, I was given a library tour of the HSS Library. HSS library provides a lot of resources for subjects in the humanities and social sciences. This include resources for Psychology, History, Politics, Economics, Language and Communication Skills, Philosophy, and English. I also learnt about the different services and facilities provided at HSS Library, for example, red-spot books, e-payment kiosk, printers, scanners, photo copying machines and TV.

How to use the collections at HSS library?

Users are able to borrow open-shelf books for about a month using the self-service checkout machine. There is a collection known as “Red-Spot Books” which users can only borrow and read for 2 hours.  If users exceed this 2 hour time limit, they must pay a fine of $0.50 per hour.
