The School is deeply saddened by her passing. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family. Dr Kan served as the University Librarian of the University of Hong Kong from 1983 to 1999 and continued as Senior Advisor of the University Libraries after her retirement in 1999 until July 2024. In 2001, she was appointed as Senior Consultant by the HKU SPACE, planning and leading its Library and Information Science (LIS) programmes until 2008. In the early 1960s, Dr Kan worked with the School to spearhead the first LIS programme, which included a partnership with Charles Sturt University in Australia, pioneering the training of librarians in Hong Kong. In recognition of her contributions to the development and education in the library science in Hong Kong, Dr Kan was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Charles Sturt University. She was awarded a Honorary University Fellowship in 1997 by the University of Hong Kong, her alma mater, and appointed Honorary Fellow in 2017 by the School. The School also mourns the passing of Professor Wong Siu Lun, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and former Pro-Vice-Chancellor of HKU. As well as his distinguished career in the University, Professor Wong was also Acting Director of the School from 1996 to 1997, becoming a member of the HKU SPACE Management Board from 1998 and Chairman from 1999. He was then the first Chairman of the Company Board from 1999-2000. His sage advice and guidance were important at that critical period of the School’s development. Professor Wong will be sadly missed and condolences are extended to his family. 香港大學圖書館前館長及特別顧問、著名學者和 教育家簡麗冰博士於2024年9月5日安詳辭世。 學院同人對此表示極度悲痛及惋惜，並向簡博士 的家人致以深切慰問。 簡博士於1983至1999年擔任香港大學圖書館館 長，並於1999年退休後繼續擔任大學圖書館特 別顧問至2024年；2001年獲香港大學專業進修 學院任命為高級顧問，負責規劃和指導圖書館及 資訊科學課程，直至2008年。 簡博士在上世紀60年代初與學院合作發展全港 首個圖書館學課程，當中包括與澳洲查爾斯特大 學合作推出的課程，為香港培訓圖書館館員開創 先河；後獲查爾斯特大學榮譽博士學位，以表揚 她在香港圖書館學發展及教育方面的貢獻。 簡博士於1997年獲母校香港大學頒授名譽大學 院士銜；2017年獲學院授予榮譽院士銜。 另外，學院亦對香港大學社會學榮休教授、前香 港大學副校長黃紹倫教授的逝世深感哀悼。除了 在大學的卓越功績之外，黃教授於1996至1997 年期間擔任學院署理院長，並於1998年成為學 院管理委員會的成員，1999年起擔任主席。他 亦是1999至2000年期間首任董事局主席。 他的睿智建議和指導在學校發展的關鍵時期至為 重要。學院同人對黃教授深切懷念，並向他的家 人致以最誠摯的慰問。 圖片來源：香港新聞網 Photo source: www.hkcna.hk HKU SPACE Mourns the Passing of Dr Kan Lai Bing and Professor Wong Siu Lun 敬悼簡麗冰博士、黃紹倫教授 DEC 2024 Learn more about the School 了解學院更多 敬悼簡麗冰博士、黃紹倫教授 HKU SPACE Mourns the Passing of Dr Kan Lai Bing and Professor Wong Siu Lun 簡麗冰博士 Dr Kan Lai Bing 黃紹倫教授 Professor Wong Siu Lun
