It has over 1 million books, ~750,000 in print and ~286,000 in electronic format, as well as tens of thousands of e-journals, and streaming audio and video collections.〔''Library Statistics: Collection'' retrieved from http://library.ust.hk/info/statistics/collection.html May 22, 2015〕 A good part of its Special Collections, like its (Antique Maps of China Collection ) has been digitized. Opening its doors in 1991, the then Governor of Hong Kong, David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn, was impressed by the fact that the Library had an advanced bilingual Chinese and English online catalog.〔Beck, Catherine. (11 October 1991). Newest college ready for business. ''The South China Morning Post'', p. 3〕 The Library continued to be a pioneer in library and information services, rolling out the first large-scale campus-wide CD-ROM network in Asian academic libraries; and in 1993 an early Course Reserve Image system. In 1995, its CD-ROM juke-box was the largest such installation outside of the USA 〔Chau, Mimi (11 May 1995). Library switches on the CD-ROM `Jukebox'. ''The South China Morning Post'', retrieved from Factiva May 22, 2015.〕 and it also had launched the first academic Library Web Server in Hong Kong in 1995 as well.〔Spodick, E. and Lam, K.T. (2005) Enhancing services in a digital age - 10 years of experience from the systems librarians' perspective, ''Lecture notes in computer science'', v. 3815, 2005, p. 370〕 In its first 10 years, it became a mirror site for some subscription databases, and implemented wide-scale XML-based database projects and other innovations.〔Spodick, E. and Lam, K.T.

It launched the first Institutional Repository in Hong Kong in 2003 and members of the library's Reference team worked to promote it among faculty members 〔Chan, D. H., Kwok, C. Y., & Yip, S. F. (2005). Changing roles of reference librarians: the case of the HKUST Institutional Repository. '' Reference Services Review'', 33(3), 268-282. 〕〔(Information repositories arrive in Asia ) (December, 2004). ''Access'', no. 51〕 From 2011 through 2012 the Library built an extension of 1,800 square meters and renovated an existing 1,800 sq.m. into a Learning Commons. The HKUST (Learning Commons ) provides ~600 seats and has 5 zones: Group Study, Open Study, Refreshment, Teaching, and (The Creative Media Zone ).〔Chan, DLH and Spocdick, E. (2014). Space development: a case study of HKUST Library.
