HIGHLIGHTS OF 2013!

Although it feels like we are already half way through this year, I would still like to share with you some of the Library’s highlights of 2013. The usage of the Learning Commons in the JS Gericke Library continued to rise and to add value to learning and teaching at the University in 2013. As in previous years, the Carnegie Research Commons was used extensively by masters and doctoral students, making a significant contribution in support of the University’s pursuit of research excellence, increased and sustained research output and improvement of postgraduate through-put. The new Engineering and Forestry Library in the Knowledge Centre of the Faculty of Engineering was officially opened in August 2013. This library with its modern facilities is very popular and usage increased significantly in comparison to the “old library”.
