From personal librarians for postgraduate students to free training on the proper use of library resources, the Unisa Library strives to provide all its users with a variety of services that meet their information needs.
Any registered Unisa student, with the exception of certain certificate and programme students, may borrow library material.
The Unisa Libraries offer training in the use of library resources to enable clients to find information easily and speedily. Training is offered free of charge to registered Unisa students and staff.
A literature search is a reading list on a research topic. We consult South African and international information resources to find material that is relevant to your research topic.
Postgraduate degree students have access to all Library resources and their own personal librarian. Library research space is also reserved for postgraduate students.
The Library assists registerd students with access to Library electronic resources via wifi (on-campus) on their electronic devices. Students can also access Library electronic resources when they are off-campus.
The collections in the Unisa Library now total approximately 2 million. There is also a growing collection of electronic information resources.
Membership of the Library begins with registration for the current academic year and it automatically expires after completion of the final examination of the same year.
We provides various services to ensure that Library clients with special needs have the most comfortable experience possible. These include access to wheelchairs, special parking and a sign language interpreter.
