Standard Research Consultation (For HKU academic staff & postgraduate student)

Our Research Consultation Service is a personal research consultation service offered by our Librarians in specialised subjects to members of HKU community for advice on effective information research pertaining to their research projects. Our Librarians will assist you in:

  • developing effective research techniques
  • identifying, evaluating and locating appropriate resources via library catalogues and online resources
  • constructing effective search strategies to search specific electronic databases
  • providing guidance to access services and resources provided by HKU and other libraries

The service is only offered to registered HKU academic staff and postgraduate students. Please fill out the Research Consultation Appointment Form below to make an appointment with the Librarian specialising in your field. Your appointment will be confirmed within two working days.

Acknowledgement or Co-Authorship:

At a minimum, acknowledgement (for level 1 & 2) is requested for systematic review services provided by an HKU Library Librarian for any or all steps in the Initial Consultation and Search Services sections.

Co-authorship (for level 2) is highly recommended if the Librarian has provided all Search Services and any Post-Search Services listed. Co-authorship, in lieu of acknowledgement, recognizes the significant and essential contributions of the Librarian to the systematic review.
