During the past two years, I have spent wonderful moments with the lecturers and classmates in HDLIM. As Karl Menninger suggested, ‘what the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.’ The lecturers are always willing to give us support and advice. This programme also offers me a chance to continue my study in the University of Hong Kong.
This Programme, Library and Information Management, is more than I expected. After completing the Programme I developed a zealous interest in this profession. I worked at the West Island School and the Hospital Authority during my internships, which extended my skill in team work with a variety of age groups. Joining the Toastmasters Club and served as a Vice President allows me to expand my social network. Before graduation, I was admitted to the University of Hong Kong.
中七畢業後，按興趣選擇了圖書館及資訊學課程。導師的教導與經驗分享，使我體會到學習的精髓是懂得把理論實踐出來。我曾到國際學校和醫管局圖書館實習，把專業知識實踐於工作上。透過參加學生大使計劃，我增加了對學院的歸屬感。畢業前，我已獲得香港大學和英國兩所大學取錄，令我走上學業的另一新里程。
I feel that the Higher Diploma in Library and Information Management (HDLIM) indeed provided me with an alternative way to further my education and widen my employment opportunities.
After secondary school, I understood the importance of education and I chose the HDLIM programme because of personal interest. Under lecturers’ guidance for 3 years, the programme provided me with academic, technical training and practical experience in the form of placement. Graduated in 2006, I decided to continue with my formal education at HKU. On the other hand, many of my classmates joined the workforce in different areas such as government, education, libraries, publishing, banking, computing and research. At HKU, because of the firm foundation already laid for me through HDLIM, I was able to graduate with high honors for my HKU BSc in Information Management. Currently, I am glad that I am employed in a profession relating to Information Management and Records Management, which is the direct outcome of my continuous education through HKU SPACE and HKU.
After F.5, I decided to enrol in the HDLIS programme. I wanted to pursue my personal interest and have professional training. The comprehensive training not only gave me a thorough understanding of library and information studies but also a grasp of technical skills. Work placement allowed me to put theories into practice. The guidance from the lecturers also played an important role in my study. This solid support enabled me to further my studies at HKU, which set me on my professional path.
當我收到中五會考成績單的時候，便決定報讀香港大學附屬學院的圖書館及資訊學高級文憑。我一直對這個課程有著濃厚的興趣，課程內容實用。當中包括了實習計劃，讓我有機會在香港大學圖書館及國際圖書館實習，學到更多不同的知識。而且這課程令我成功升讀西澳洲大學的學士課程。
I am a recent graduate of the Higher Diploma programme in Library and Information Studies, and on the basis of my academic results in the College, I gained admission to the University of Hong Kong's Faculty of Arts. Although my HKALE results were not satisfactory, I did not give up the idea of further studies. My experience as a student helper in my school library led to an interest in library and information studies. After the 3-year higher diploma programme, I now possess professional library and information technology skills. Though many of my classmates have joined the workforce, I have decided to continue with my formal education at HKU.
