The main aim of the Research Commons is to enhance the Library's contribution to postgraduate throughput and research output by providing an environment conducive ​to research, and offering services which directly support research endeavours of postgraduate students and researchers. <h3> <br>Where to find us</h3>Stellenbosch University Library, lower level. <br> <br> <span> <span> <h3>Who may use this?</h3>The facility is reserved for <strong>s</strong><strong class="ms-rteFontFace-12">tudents at masters and doctoral level</strong><span class="ms-rteFontFace-12"> as well as academic staff and researchers of Stellenbosch University by means of controlled access. </span>You will need a Stellenbosch University student/staff card to gain access to the Carnegie Research Commons.</span></span><br><br></div> <strong>Opening hours:</strong><br>Same as <a href="https://libguides.sun.ac.za/hours">SU Library Opening Hours</a><br><br> <h3>Contact us</h3> <strong>Manager: Carnegie Research Commons</strong><br><a href="mailto:kvd@sun.ac.za">Mr Kirchner van Deventer​</a><br>Tel: +27 21 808 2623 <br><br><strong>Librarian: Carnegie Research Commons</strong><br><a href="mailto:letlaos@sun.ac.za">Mr Letlao Seloma​</a><br>Tel: +27 21 808 2125<br><br><strong>Follow us</strong>:  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Research-Commons-Stellenbosch-University/241934095844732?sk=wall" target="_blank">Facebook</a>  |   <a href="https://twitter.com/SUResearchComms" target="_blank">Twitter</a><br><strong>Feedback: </strong>Send us any suggestions and comments about the Research Commons by <a href="mailto:kvd@sun.ac.za">e-mail</a>.<br><br> <h3>Background and funding</h3> <span>The momentum for the creation of the Research Commons was set-off by funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY). CCNY funded the Research Libraries Consortium in South Africa. There were three different components in the Consortium which included the development of specialised facilities (the physical construction of a Research Commons), shared technologies and highly-trained professional librarians. Each of these components was considered significant in growing a new core group of researchers in South Africa.<br><br>The University recognised the potential of a highly sophisticated postgraduate research environment supporting its mission of increasing postgraduate throughput and research output by contributing more than eighty percent of the funds for the construction of the Research Commons. This cutting-edge and stimulating environment is supported by the development of a core group of skilled research librarians, as well as improved access to information resources via the federated search tool, SUNSearch.<br></span>
