To cultivate the students’ literature retrieval ability, the Faculty of Finance and the Library of City University of Macau have arranged an EndNote software training session for the undergraduates of the Faculty of Finance. On 10 November, a training session was held at the Ho Yin Convention Centre to help students make better use of the electronic databases related to finance, and the doctoral students of 2022 from the Faculty of Finance were invited to participate. Ms. Ka Wun Cheang of the Library, City University of Macau, introduced multiple ways of finance-related electronic databases for students' reference.
Ms. Ka Wun Cheang stated that according to the Faculty and curriculum settings, the subject librarians go deep into the Faculty and embed the courses. The library provides literature resources that guarantee services for teaching and scientific search, helping students to use the services of the university library and other online resources more conveniently, and obtain relevant resources more easily and quickly to help their studies, thesis research and writing. Ms Cheang shared with students all the steps and explained how to use the library website, including the academic search toolbar, electronic database, announcements and resource updates, and multiple quick access points of the university library website. Students could check the borrowing status of books on the site at any time.
