Relocated to Islands District Medical Complex Campus

Kiang Wu Nursing College of Macau Library (hereinafter referred to as the library) was relocated to the Kiang Wu Nursing College of Macau, within the Islands District Medical Complex Campus, in July 2022. The Library is located on the third floor of the building, with an area of about 17,000 square meters and provides about 300 seats. It is naturally lit by glass windows on all sides and is connected to a sky garden, the Botanic Garden.

Rich Collections

Along with the development of the College, the Library has evolved from a small library room to a much larger library. Currently, the Library has a collection of over 30,000 multimedia resources, mainly in medicine, nursing and related disciplines, as well as humanities and social sciences, such as philosophy, ethics, law, psychology, sociology, management etc. In addition to tangible resources, with the widespread popularity of the internet and electronic technology, the library also emphasizes on the collection of electronic resources. At present, there are 56 electronic databases containing over 50,000 full-text electronic journals, more than 1,000 electronic newspapers, and more than 10 million dissertations.

Provide diversified services

The library aims to share knowledge, provide diversified services to users, establish community networks, raise healthcare awareness to the public, encourage lifelong learning, promote interdisciplinary development and cooperation, and cooperate with smart campus to build a wall-less library to reach resource optimization.

Spatial design based on the theme of "people"

The spatial design of the library is based on the theme of "people", focusing on the direction of diversity and flexibility, allowing flexible use of space and providing a user-friendly and comfortable environment. In line with the usage habits of individuals and groups, the library provides 10 seminar rooms of different sizes, with electronic equipment to help learning. Study space was separated in a quieter area for self-study that serves the main purpose of use. Therefore, the library is divided into different areas to meet the needs of different users. A relaxation area, also known as a non-traditional library area, was specially designed to allow users to have light meals in there.
