The Joint University Librarians Advisory Committee (JULAC) was established in 1967 by the Heads of University Committee (HUCOM). It is a forum to discuss, coordinate, and collaborate on library information resources and services among the libraries of the eight tertiary education institutions funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

Membership of JULAC is limited to the directors of the eight UGC institution libraries:

	The Chinese University of Hong Kong
	City University of Hong Kong
	Hong Kong Baptist University
	The Hong Kong Institute of Education
	The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
	Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
	Lingnan University
	The University of Hong Kong

A Chairperson is elected in April to serve a period of at least twelve months. JULAC meets at least four times a year. All business is conducted by serving professional librarians in standing committees and special task forces. JULAC has appointed a Secretariat to provide administrative support to JULAC and its operations. The chairman for 2008/09 is Mr. Steve O'Connor, University Librarian, Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

In addition to being a member of the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC), JULAC is also a member of the International Scholarly Communication Alliance (ISCA).

The JULAC Secretariat is located at Chinese University of Hong Kong.
