Library

Literature Search Service

Consult your Tutorial letter 101 for a list of recommended books and e-Reserve articles for your course. If you need additional information for your assignment you can request a literature search from us.

We will be unable to provide this service if the literature search forms part of your assessment.

To compile the literature search a number of electronic databases are consulted to provide you with an overview of the literature written on your topic. The search results will include citations, abstracts, and links to full-text articles where available.

How do I request a literature search?

  1. Login on myUnisa with your student number and myUnisa password, then click on Log in
  2. Click on myModules
  3. Click on Sites and then select Library and then Literature Search Request Form
  4. Complete the form and click on Submit once

Please note:

  • Enquire at lib-search@unisa.ac.za  about the status of your request, quoting the reference number you received via email and sms after submitting your request

  • This form is used only to request a literature search and not to request books, journal articles or law reports.
