cannot be longer than two hours for each session and the length of the
content booking cannot be longer than three hours for each session.
- Library card holders aged below 12 are only eligible to book the ATM
and LAN workstations located at the Children's Library on 2/F.
Claim Booking for Workstation
Users need to claim their booking within 15 minutes before it starts
or within 10 minutes after it begins (For example: A booking session begins
at 12:00 up to 13:00, the effective time for users to claim booking is
11:45 to 12:10, a total of 25 minutes). Users can take either one of the
following options to claim booking:
1. Claim Booking through Workstations within Your Chosen Workstation
Group
Users can pick any workstation within their chosen Workstation Group
and login the workstation under the status of Library Card Holders. Users
need to input the same User ID and Password as those submitted in the
booking process for authentication. Users are then free to use the workstation
instantly.
2. Check the Location of the Assigned Workstation through the Self-Serve
Workstations (applicable to the Hong Kong Central Library only)
If all workstations of the chosen Workstation Group are engaged, users
can still be acknowledged the location of assigned workstation through
the Self-Serve Workstations located at the Information Service Counter
on each floor (except 7/F.) by the following steps:-
- Click the 'Claim Booking' button on the main screen.
- Enter your Library Card Number as the User ID.
- Enter your PIN Number or your registered Home Phone Number
as the Password.
- Click 'OK' button to enter the profile of your booking records.
- Choose the booking record that you are going to claim.
- Click the 'Claim Booking' button and note down the assigned
workstation number.
- Remember to take the Acknowledgement Ticket issued by the ticket printer
and go to login the assigned workstation with your User ID and Passwords
and start using your booking session.
Hints for users to claim booking:
- User should successfully login the assigned workstation within 10
minutes after the booking time begins. Otherwise, the system will classify
that the booking is failed to be claimed and will release and reallocate
all the unclaimed workstations to other library users for ad hoc use.
- To have a better allocation of the library's resources, users will
be denied to use the booking service for 7 consecutive calendar days
if they have failed to claim their booking for three times within a
month.
- Users are welcome to contact our counter staff if they have any enquiries
on the booking services.
