In 2019, the Learning Resource Centre held four large scale book exhibitions. UICers actively participated in the exhibitions and a total of 8,139 books were selected by teachers and students to be included into our collection.
Themed Bookshelf on the Second Floor
The LRC has set up bookshelves on the second floor to promote reading, showcasing a variety of books where readers can browse and find an interesting book at a glance. Last year, the LRC displayed a number of popular themed books, such as works that have won the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Mao Dun Literature Prize, Books of the Year, Rao Zongyi’s books, books for different majors, books about College Life and Learning Skills for new students, as well as books that help students better understand the workplace and postgraduate applications.
The Most Beautiful Places in the Library
The comfortable and beautiful environment of the library has attracted many students to take photos in the LRC. Below are three of the most popular places in the library:
The Atrium on the first floor -- The most beautiful circle for the smiling faces of youth.
The Spiraling Staircase -- I hope it can lead me to move up in the world.
The Christmas Tree -- A warm winter break during the final examination.
Lost and Found
Last year, 474 items in the Lost and Found were returned to the readers in the library.
A Letter to Myself Four Years from Now
With the start of the semester last September, the library set up a time post box for freshmen. The students could write a letter to themselves four years from now to establish new goals at their new starting point and what they look forward to in their four years here. We have been receiving letters from students and will seal them for four years. Don’t forget to retrieve them when you graduate.
Advanced LRC Homepage
The Learning Resource Centre has witnessed the growth and progress of its website homepage. Since the initial implementation of the basic functions of the V.1 version, new sections have been continually added: Journal search, new functions in the menu bar, and the Book Display Widget. The 2019 version provides a better user experience by employing responsive web design so that it works beautifully on all devices, including computers, tablets and mobile phones. The new homepage is both functional and pleasing to the eye, allowing users to understand LRC’s resources and services clearly and quickly.
