Call for Donations to the “UM Scholars Collection” (2026-04-21)
In celebration of the 45th Anniversary of the University of Macau, and to showcase our achievements in teaching, research, and cultural heritage, the University of Macau Library is officially launching a new round of the “UM Scholars Collection” book donation campaign.
The “UM Scholars Collection” is a key development project of the University Library, dedicated to systematically preserving the scholarly publications and creative works of the University’s faculty members and alumni. The repository currently contains more than 3,600 works covering a wide range of fields, such as the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, education, and fine arts. This comprehensive collection showcases the UM academic community's diverse contributions and cultural depth.
The University Library now cordially invites faculty members from all periods, alumni, and current students to donate their academic or creative works. The collection focuses primarily on publications of scholarly, teaching, and cultural value, including monographs, edited or co-authored volumes, translated works, textbooks, teaching supplements, and collections of creative works. In addition to these categories, the University Library also welcomes other types of works or outputs, which will be evaluated based on their contents and preservation requirements before appropriate collection arrangements are made.
Since the “UM Scholars Collection” is a permanent preservation project, contributors are encouraged to sign, dedicate or seal their works to enhance the collection's commemorative value. The Library will issue a letter of appreciation for all contributions received. All donated works will be housed in a designated area of the University Library for long-term preservation and display.
The development of the “UM Scholars Collection” relies on the collective support of the entire UM community. We sincerely look forward to your enthusiastic participation preserving the university's history and continuing its academic legacy.
