I enjoyed the school life in CC that I’ve met many good friends here! I have learnt a lot of practical skills regarding actual operation procedures in a library though the internship programme.

The courses are useful and practical. Lecturers gave us a lot of informative information about the internship. Work hard, try hard! You can achieve your goal eventually!

This programme gave me a chance to work in different libraries as well as a solid foundation in the library and information management field. The professional placements were helpful in training us to be familiar with working in a real-life situation.

This programme not only provides professional knowledge, but also gives us internship opportunities to apply what we have learned. Besides, our lecturers always help and support us.

What I lost two years ago, I have it back.  Besides a place in HKU, I also have a part time job in the HKU Libraries Technical Services.  Grasp your second chance, never give up.

This course covers a lot of professional knowledge and provides many practicum opportunities.  Part-time jobs have broadened my horizon -- a library is not a place just for checking in and out books.

The lecturers are nice, helpful, and always encourage us.  I particularly enjoy their experience sharing which is interesting and inspiring.

In the past two years, I worked part time in the archival centre of a large real estate developer and in a university library.  Those are memorable experiences.  I would like to take this opportunity to encourage other DSE students not to give up and to study hard.

I gained fruitful practical and theoretical knowledge that an information professional should possess. With the informative lecturers and friendly classmates I have unforgettable two years.

I have many different opportunities to experience and perform different library activities. Work placement let us enrich ourselves and prepare us for future career or university life. Lecturers are very willing to share their own experiences with us.

This programme gives us chances to work in different organisations to equip us with soft skills for working in a real-life situation. The work placements have played a crucial role in paving my career path.

This is a unique programme.  The internship opportunity is beneficial for my future career. Lecturers look after students with great care. Enjoy the remarkable two years studying in this programme.

This programme provides the fundamental theories of library and information management, which are extremely useful when applying for jobs in the library field. Professional work placement enable us to have a deeper understanding of the operations of different libraries.

This programme equipped me with professional knowledge of library management. The course also offered valuable internship experiences, which gave me chances to work in different types of libraries. I also went to many library visits, some of which are not open to the public.

The programme has given me many chances to learn and explore. The internships provide chances to expand and push my boundaries, thus enforcing the knowledge I have gained in lessons.

The most impressive part of my study was the work placement. It was my most precious and valuable memory gained from this programme. I tried four different kinds of libraries. These placements helped me to put principles into practice and broaden my horizons.

It is a fair and rare chance for students who have the notion of starting again from scratch to continue their study. Our lecturers support us wholeheartedly not only in academic issues but also in personal development.

This programme provides students with informative lectures and precious work placement opportunities. It is obvious that the management of big data and information plays a crucial role in the digital era, and this fruitful programme could better equip you to engage in the flow.

Two years ago, my disappointing DSE result made me feel depressed and I wanted to escape from the bad feeling. This programme has transformed me. At the beginning of my study of HDLIM, I was still not gaining outstanding academic results. However, as time went by, the content of the course really caught my interest and made me gradually forgot my poor performance in the public exam. I highly recommend this programme since it provides professional knowledge in an interesting way that can facilitate achievement in study. Different internships can also equip us to face the challenges of the workplace.

Studying HDLIM was enjoyable and I am delighted by my choice. I am grateful that the lecturers and senior students were always there to help when needed. Besides lectures, this programme also provides site visits and work placements for us. I did my placements in international school and university libraries, as well as a special library. I highly recommend this programme to those who are interested in information industry as it facilitates future study and career development.

This programme brings students new perspectives on library and information management. The interactive learning environment with site visits and professional placements help students put theories into practice. The information literacy skills and knowledge on library operations and management I have acquired in this programme provided me with a positive foundation for my further study and future career in this field. In addition, I gained practical skills on-site after working in the Pinsent Masons, Victoria Shanghai Academy, ISF Academy and Hong Kong Shue Yan University as an intern. The internship programme provided me opportunities to observe how information professionals manage the library at different perspectives – from end processing to handling library management systems and making collection development decisions.

This programme provides fundamental modules that equip students with knowledge in information management (IM) and librarianship. Having completed this programme, I was able to broaden my knowledge in IM and develop confidence to face different challenges in real-life environment. On the other hand, lecturers’ support was a key to the success in my study as they provided much academic and career supports through sharing of their knowledge and experience, providing advices in career path selection and professional guidance through frequent face-to-face interactions and email exchanges. After graduation, I furthered my study in the UK and completed my first degree, BSc in Information and Communications, and was admitted to MSc in Library and Information management in HKU afterwards. I highly recommend this Higher Diploma programme to those who are interested in studying in this field and taking information professionals as their career since this programme not just equips students with adequate IM and librarianship knowledge in the future workplace, but also paves the way for further studies in different specialism in different countries.

Two years ago, I was a local S.6 student who worries about my public examination results and my career prospects. Unfortunately, I was not able to get into university at that time. Life was fearful. “Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.” where this course gives me another hope to get back into university, which set me free. In these two years, this course turned me into a better student and employee in the information industry. Besides, this course also provides us with internships, which put our professional knowledge gained in the lecture into practice.

Studying this programme is a fun-filled experience! Different modules of the programme equip students with information and communication skills. Work placements not only let us apply the knowledge and skills that we have learned in class but also an opportunity for us to get prepared for our information management career. To sum up, the course provides tons of professional knowledge, and also increases our career readiness in library and information management field.

Studying in this programme, I have gained professional knowledge of marketing and management, and skills in searching for and organising information. The programme has given me a good grounding in understanding the role of information and information management in various organisational settings and societies. The programme also provides internships to its students and everyone has a chance to work in different types of libraries. For me, I did my work placements in an international library and in an academic library. This, and other elements of the programme enabled me to develop capabilities in collaboration and communication with peers. I highly recommend this programme to those who are interested in working in the library or information industries.

Studying Higher Diploma in Library and Information Management programme broadened my knowledge in librarianship. I learnt to put theories into practices through visiting various types of libraries, taking work placements and attending professional conferences. Lecturers also guided us in our study and career plans; we have developed confidence in facing challenges in our future careers. Therefore, I highly recommend this programme to those who are interested in working in the information industry.

At the age of information explosion, information comes in many forms. Many organisations and establishments require information professionals to manage and organise different materials. This programme assisted me to make adequate preparation and be well-prepared for becoming an information professional. The lectures were interactive and many interesting activities were provided such as designing a leaflet, making a fascinating display for kids to cultivate their reading habits, interviewing professional cataloguers, and visiting libraries. Also, I have gained real working experience in different types of libraries. In addition, I am so grateful to be taught by such selfless lecturers who were willing to share their knowledge and valuable experience, and provide support with practical advice. I believe that I have found my future career path through this programme.

We had been given the opportunity to join the project of establishing a new Information Centre for Civil Engineering Department in The University of Hong Kong and also the project of establishing a new library for the Scout Association of Hong Kong. Other than that, we also had the chance to take our work placement in two different international schools. To sum up, this programme provides a springboard for our further study and also prepares us for career development within the information sector.

What you could achieve in this programme is inconceivable! To a large extent, this programme creates a platform for us to equip ourselves well before working in this competitive society. Apart from lectures, site visits to different kinds of libraries and information centres are arranged, giving us chances to explore more about the inner side of library work. Feedback from immediate supervisors during work placement is sincerely valuable for us to review our weakness in specific areas.

This programme has definitely provided me with the knowledge and skills in order to meet challenges in the current information age. Interesting and interactive learning activities such as site visits and conferences have made me have a much better understanding of the theories. Working in both academic and public libraries during the past two years has enabled me to put into practice what I learnt from HDLIM and acquire new knowledge from the real situation. Therefore, this programme has certainly helped me to establish a firm foundation in the field. In actual fact, even before graduation, I am proud to say that I gained an offer from HKU and a permanent job.

Studying Library and Information Management was great fun. The lessons were highly interesting and practical. I got the chance to work in some famous institutions, visited different libraries, and went to various meetings, conferences, exhibitions and presentations. I achieved something I’d never thought I could. Last August, I participated in the Heleni Linton Bursary and I was so glad that my proposal and interview convinced the judges. This is the biggest accomplishment I've ever achieved and this could be yours.

Living in a knowledge-based society, it is important to understand how to manage information in an efficient manner. From this programme, I gained professional and practical library and information management skills. Through working in schools and special libraries, I had chances to understand the daily operation and management of a library. These valuable experiences are beneficial for my future studies and employment.
