Departmental collections form part of the SU Library and Information Service group of libraries. These libraries are, however, not administered by the Library and Information Service but are only connected to the Service in terms of their collections of material.
All the existing departmental collections are situated at academic departments on the Stellenbosch campus and consist of books, journals and other sources of information. It is important to note, however, that the collections housed in these libraries are not the main collections for the subject fields they serve. Only selected items from the subject collections are housed here. The main collections of sources available to these subject fields are housed in the JS Gericke Library where a faculty librarian is allocated to serve each of the respective subject fields.
For information on the services, procedures and hours of these libraries, please contact them directly.
