Message from the Librarian
New Series Vol. 6, No. 3 Mar 2007 The University of Hong Kong Libraries CARING, COLLABORATIVE, CREATIVE. YOUR PARTNER IN INTELLECTUAL EXCELLENCE. focus Message from the Librarian The Hong Kong University Libraries Wins Obscure Honour: Providing the most food for the world’s copy cataloguers! The Libraries recently received a sort of recognition that perhaps only a librarian could love: HKU Libraries submitted 75,912 original cataloguing records making it the largest contributor among the Online Computer Library Consortia (OCLC) libraries to the OCLC WorldCat database. This may sound like a type of visibility that the University could do without, but it relates to an important cost saving technique for libraries. To understand what this is all about I need to first introduce what is OCLC and what is copy cataloguing. OCLC started out in 1967 as a state-wide library consortium in Ohio: the Ohio College Library Center. One of its main programs was the sharing of cataloging records, e.g., when a participating library bought a new book and created a record for it in their catalogue, they would also enter that record in the OCLC computer database. Then, when another library bought the same book, instead of doing the cataloguing themselves they would check the database and copy the record or change or adapt the record them for use in their local OPAC– hence, copy-cataloging or adaptive cataloguing. Message from the Librarian But the utility of sharing such records soon spread beyond the not years, for other libraries to catalogue them first so we borders of Ohio and eventually the borders of the United can copy their records later.

Global Cities, Local Knowledge
Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional Dynamics Lim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia BSocSc (Hons), MSc (Media & Comms) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2005 Keywords Circuit of cultural production, East Asian popular culture, Television industries, Field of broadcasting, Formatting, Local knowledge, Media capitals, Neo-networks, Regional dynamics, TV Formats, martial arts dramas, teenage idol soap operas, game-shows. ii Abstract Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children’s animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood’s dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production.

Heritage Conservationin Hong Kong (Policy and Planning Context Review)
International Journal of Architecture and Urban Development Vol.5, No.1, Winter 2015 Development Urban and Architecture of Journal International Heritage Conservationin Hong kong (Policy and Planning Context Review) Md. Mahmud Hassan Talukdar٭1 1M.Sc. The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong & Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB), Bangladesh. Recieved 11.17.2013; Accepted 09.03.2014 ABSTRACT: Since the enactment of the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance in 1971 and the establishment of Antiquities and Monuments Office in 1976, the Hong Kong Government has set up several institutions with particular ordinances and schemes for Heritage Conservation. With the set-up of government initiatives, yet the protection of physical and cultural heritage is still limited due to the ambiguity of policy and planning. So, the main aim of this paper is to identify the loopholes of existing policy and planning of heritage conservation and to suggest revised policy framework. After a thorough review towards the existing policy framework of heritage conservation in Hong Kong, together with the lessons learnt from international case studies (Singapore, Australia and Macao), it is found that six major deficiencies affecting the different aspects within the process of heritage conservation in Hong Kong. They are: Insufficient coverage of heritage’s context; inadequate institutional capacity; limited conservation approaches for privately-owned buildings; inadequate incentives; shortage of funding sources; and lack of transparency. After the identification of deficiencies from the existing heritage conservation policies and institutional arrangement, a new set of recommended policy is suggested to improve the deficiencies. The recommended policy framework contains four aspects: Revision of political system; provision of integrated conservation approaches and incentives; diversification of funding sources and widening of public participation.
