Welcome to CUHK Library Digital Scholarship Projects Site

The CUHK Library is eager to collaborate with CUHK Faculty members and researchers to support them in conducting digital scholarship research through a suite of services, cutting-edge space, research tools, user training, consultation, and technological support.  We also embrace open access to encourage more similar digital scholarship research and avoid reinventing the wheel.  This online platform is especially created to deliver these projects, open up the research data if any, and to demonstrate the application of digital tools in research. Any faculty members or researchers interested in partnership are welcome to contact us.
