Through this system, library users can request materials from partnering libraries worldwide. HCU Library will charge only the amount required by the lending library, with no additional service fee for e-copies, and charges only the postage fee for hard copies, making international academic resources affordable and accessible.

The HCU Library’s updated policies and extended hours reflect the university’s dedication to academic enrichment and cultural preservation. By providing easy access to resources and opening special collections for deeper study, the library strengthens the academic and research community at HCU and enhances its role as a cultural and educational hub for both Thai and international scholars.
