Objectives/Targets
1) Migrating all the databases logon info to the library platform to facilitate our user login.
2) Conversion of subscription to all-in-one newspaper, to promote the usage of e-newspaper.
3) Refresh the collection by adding new popular titles and weeding out old ones.
4) Promote reading and publicize library resources via various means;
5) Recycle different materials to save budget.
6) Making library a more inducive place to study.
Implementation Process
1) With the help from vendor, we managed to consolidate all login info and updated in our Spydus management system. I announced the new platform during staff contact time in Jan, and all the details are attached in the email sent out to all staff later.
2)  At the same cost, I added online digital access. While SPH will still gave us complimentary print copies, which is free of charge, remaining in library in case some staff/colleagues need to refer to hard copies. After conversion, now we maintain the same copies of newspaper, but we get more access to e-newspaper without adding on the cost.
3) On-going acquisition based on recommendations from teachers and students, online award winning/popular title list. While weeding out the unpopular titles regularly.
4) Continue to work with CLC dept to promote CL book reading. Every month, CL teachers and librarian will work out the theme of the month. Based on the theme, 16-20 CL titles will be recommended to students.
We continue to use existing method to promote loan:           
      - Email newsletter for new arrivals on termly basis
     - Book display cum activities; 
     - The top 10 borrowing class; 
     - Big read: increase loan quota before holiday to encourage students to borrow books for their holiday reading; 
     - Using TV Display for library display, video book review, and publicity:
5) Recycle the materials.
      Use the artificial flowers donated by PSG to beautify library. The flowers are arranged into vases or along the shelves.
6) Planning to increase the study area in level 2; And we introduced a routine special room checklist, to ensure the special rooms are functional and ready to use.
Extent of Improvement/
Targets met
1) All the database login info is consolidated on the same platform.
2) More digital newspaper for teachers to use for their lesson or leisure reading.
3) Based on feedback from teachers, they like the new arrival notification. Some colleagues did come down to check out the new titles. By putting more effort in publicity, we could reach out to our colleagues and increase the loan statistics.
4) The study space and special room become more functional. Teachers sent in compliments and were pleased with the routine room check practice.

What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? Our corporate video was very outdated and no longer relevant. 2. How had it been experimented and enacted? Instead of getting a professional vendor to produce the video, Principal challenged me to take it as a student-led project. After giving it much thought, given our students' talent and passion, I decided to take on the challenge despite the tight deadline and likely lack of certain resources or expertise. After getting Mark Shone and Mark Tan on board, they discussed with NYAV students who took on the task valiantly. Along the way, we had to make many edits to improve the production. But it truly exemplified the power of me as each of us had to learn on the go, and used our time management skills, and co...

What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? 1.  What was the current need/gap that you were addressing? As GCP resumes after Covid, there are many areas we need to review and to refresh memory for the staff and students, so as to ensure meaningful and safe cross-cultural learning from all the trips. The Sec 2 and Sec 3 cohort trips were massive and involved a large number of staff, including EAS colleagues. Safety SOPs have been revised by MOE as well, to take into consideration new developments and trends all over the world, and to focus on developing students and teachers e21CC. Hence, there were needs for pre-trip briefings, talks, PD sessions, preparations for both staff and students.
