The Multimedia Information System (MMIS) of the Hong Kong Public Libraries has become an increasingly important gateway to information for our users.
The system provides more than two million pages of digitized images and documents, including old Hong Kong newspapers, house programmes, posters, maps, photos, news clippings, books and manuscripts, and over 100,000 items of audio-visual/CD-ROM materials. Users can make use of the system to gain access to over 80 online databases. The MMIS also allows holders of valid library cards to reserve library workstations, audio and video materials as well as CD-ROMs.
To keep up with the development of new technology and improve our services, the workstation operating system of the MMIS has been upgraded recently. The upgrade has not only enhanced the searching and browsing functions of the MMIS, but also enabled users to view video or listen to audio materials at the same time while surfing the Internet.
To enjoy the interactive multimedia service, please click here or the MMIS workstations in the Hong Kong Central Library and 26 branch libraries across the territory.
