MESSAGE FROM THE EMC

A very warm and special welcome to the new first years, who are now part of the
TUT family where your lecturers are your parental guides and fellow students your
big brothers and sisters. This year, 2021, is the start of the next chapter in your lives,
and it will no doubt be an exciting one. We encourage you to make the most of all the
University has to offer.

We also want to congratulate you. By joining TUT, you have done more than just enrolling
at one of South Africa’s largest higher education institutions; you have become part of
an institution that attaches a lot of importance to academic excellence and service
to society, a university that prides itself on its successes, including alumni successes,
research outputs and community engagements.

In line with the University’s motto that we empower people, TUT takes pride in all
activities that result in us producing graduates who are knowledgeable intellectuals as
well as skilled professionals who can contribute to the economic and social development
of our nation. And therefore my promise to you is that TUT will provide you with
opportunities to increase your skills and knowledge in order to contribute to your overall
development to become skilled professionals.

This is a new and unknown world to you therefore my advice to you is not to be afraid
of failure and not to be disheartened by set-backs. We often gain more wisdom from
our failures than from our successes. Always aim to move your goal posts outside your
comfort zone. Do not be content with the mediocre and don’t settle for second best.
Ask as many questions as possible to ensure you truly get to understand your subjects.
We urge you all to cherish this opportunity to be a university student. Enjoy the freedom
that comes with it, but also exercise self-discipline so that you will be able to use this
freedom in a responsible manner. Please take full advantage of the various support units
that TUT has put in place to assist you in your social and academic journey.

The time has come for you to embrace a wider, richer, more diverse and multicultural
view. Regardless of where you come from, you all share a common destiny of a successful
future and career on completion of your studies. Embrace differences and be open to
them, stay true to what is right and challenge yourself to become empowered, well-
educated and responsible citizens of our country.

Lastly, we wish you every success, a healthy body and spirit, and a very happy and
fruitful university life.

Prof Lourens R van Staden
Vice-Chancellor and Principal                                                                1

LIBRARY

Here are a few library hacks and tricks that will help you to become a successful information user:
•   Challenge your own thinking
    Many people think of a library as a place full of old books. In reality your local campus library is
    more like a gateway or portal that gives you access to a world of quality information, most of
    which is available at the touch of a button. To enter this exciting virtual world, simply use the
    following address: http://lib.tut.ac.za.
•   Time-out in tranquillity
    Your local campus library is a perfect place of tranquillity to focus on your studies and
    assignments or just to enjoy a moment of complete relaxation. Grab a novel - forget about the
    challenges of campus life while you recharge your energy levels.
•   Complete the tutorial
    You can boost your progress towards academic success by attending library orientation that is
    offered to all first year students. The orientation will help you to:
    • Become comfortable with your local campus library who is your new best friend.
    • Turn into an independent explorer of information.
    • Save time and energy when navigating your way through a maze of information.
    • Obtain special abilities to operate in a complicated information environment.
•   Learn the library lingo
    You will come across new and unfamiliar words and terminologies when using your local campus
    library or accessing electronic content via the LIS Homepage. The most common words and
    terminologies are explained here:
