The event was held successfully on 7 Nov 2008. Over 500 students and staff completed their quizzes and submitted their lucky draw entry forms. By completing their quiz forms, they got an opportunity to familiarize themselves with various kinds of e-resources, including e-databases, e-journals and e-books.

The carnival reached a climax at 3:30pm as hundred of participants gathered at the 7 x 24 Learning Centre, MMW Library to wait for the final lucky draw. Those who were lucky to win a prize were very happy; for those who did not win a prize also enjoyed the atmosphere, and most importantly, they got to understand more about valuable e-resources which will benefit their studies!
