We proudly present the Performing Arts Scholarly Search (PASS)

The past couple of years, all library staff have been working very hard behind the scene of PASS to implement this integrated search platform. We are now happy to announce its soft launch.

Performing Arts Scholarly Search (PASS) allows you to cross search most of our subscribed e-resources and related open access resources. It is a search tool that lets you find e-journal articles, e-books and more from a wider range of information providers in a single search.

Since this is a new platform, there may be teething problems that we have to tune and fix. Please help by giving us feedbacks. Suggestions and comments can be reported to the Circulation Counter or by phone at 2584-8510 or email to library@hkapa.edu.
