As previous years, 2014 was also an exciting and successful year for the Library and Information Service. As we are nearing the end of the year and are preparing to take a well-deserved break, let me share with you some of the highlights of the year.
In March the completed catalogues of the collections of celebrated Afrikaans authors Hennie Aucamp and Lina Spies were presented and in April the Library became officially the custodian of the Frederick Van Zyl Slabbert manuscript collection.The popular Research Commons Social Hours started again in May with a talk by Dr Nox Makunga (Science Faculty).
In July the Library successfully hosted its first Digital Fair. The aim of the Fair was to introduce Stellenbosch University students and staff to the cutting-edge electronic resources that are available to them via the Library. In August we presented a successful second Library Research Week.
