Use the search-box above to discover the quality study and research materials the library has gathered for you.
The library runs orientation and training sessions on a variety of library topics, including how to use uKwazi, your resource discovery tool. These sessions are usually advertised to the UWC community through Campus Communications. Alternatively, you can check when the next session is and book yourself via https://uwc-ac-za.libcal.com/calendar.
If you believe that a library instruction session would be beneficial for your class on topics such as Library Orientation, uKwazi, Information Literacy, Digital Literacies, or Research and Reference Support, kindly encourage your lecturer to arrange a session.
To make the request, please share the following online form with your lecturer: https://uwc-ac-za.libwizard.com/f/uwclibrary_training_request
This form will enable them to request library training from the UWC Library.
Thank you for your cooperation in enhancing your learning experience.
To assist you in familiarizing yourself with some of the terminology commonly used in libraries, the UWC Library has developed a multilingual online glossary. We encourage you to explore it and expand your library language knowledge.
