Where is the library?

"I am new to the university. At last I found the Humanities Building, where some of my classes are. But WHERE IS THE LIBRARY?"

The Merensky Library is the building opposite the Humanities Building. When you leave the Humanities Building and walk straight ahead you will enter the library.

"Where is the HUMANITIES LIBRARY?"

The Humanities Library is on Level 6. The entrance is on Level 3, you will have to take the stairs or lift to Level 6. On level 6 you will find your Information Specialist (Office 20), the Reference Works, Open Collection and Serials for Humanities. We have photocopy machines, a restroom, study areas (quiet please) and the computers where you can do searches or access your clickup pages. Sorry, emails allowed on this level, also these computers don't have wordprocessing facilities (use Level 3). No eating or drinking please.

"And the rest of the library building?"

Level 1: Theology, Social Sciences and Ancient Languages.
Level 2: Economics and Business Administration.
Level 3: Xerox counter (includes colour printing and copies), Issue Desk, general reference works, Learning Centre, Cyberspace.
Level 4: Study / Reserved Collection (use books for 2 hours only).
Level 5: Natural Sciences and Engineering, Special Collections.

Later on more about the Branch Libraries.

Wellcome on board!

I will continually refer back to the map in the previous post. You are on the compulsory information journey! Remember the address of the library's webpage: www.library.up.ac.za.
If you don't do your searches through the webpage, you won't have access to all the online sources.

What is Tendo?

Tendo will be my blog which will primarily be used to communicate with my clients. Who are my clients? The first group is the undergraduate students of the Department of Historical & Heritage Studies, as well as the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology. The second group is the postgraduate students of those two departments. Last but not least is the third group, the lecturers. I will concentrate on the students, I don't think academics are really willing to read a librarian's blog! For a start I will attempt to publish my training material. All comments are wellcome! Even from students - and librarians - from other institutions.
