It is not surprising that SMU Libraries has retained its status as the ‘Most Preferred Place’ by SMU students for many years running, according to the 2018 annual SMUSA (SMU Students Association) survey. The new Academic Year began with hundreds of new and continuing SMU students making use of learning spaces and services on offer both in Li Ka Shing and Kwa Geok Choo Libraries.
