News from the library

Our Margaret Smith Library recently hosted 34 second year Library and Information Science students from the  University of Fort Hare.  Upon arrival, the students watched the SAIAB video and were given a tour of the Collections Management Centre. Sally Schramm also gave the students a short presentation focusing how the library operates, the kind of books and journals the library keeps and the library website which is hosted by the Rhodes University Library site. According to Sally, these students had also visited the NELM and the Cory Library for Historical Research and their aim was to see how special research libraries are run. Nceba  Ndzoyiya said he found the mobile shelves at the M.S Library most impressive.

Hanoria says goodbye to the library
  “Having worked at the library has been a great experience. I’ll miss Sally dearly but most importantly, I’ll miss my babies (the students).”
