23Introduction
Library Orientation is to provide you with
information on how to access the Library
services, electronic resources and collections of
the Unisa Libraries.
Unisa Libraries are found in all the regional
offices of Unisa. If the Regional Library of Unisa
does not have the book or any material that you
are asking for, the Librarian in the Region will
request the material or book from the main
library so that you can be assisted with your
request.
24Introduction cont…
The Library consists of 13 Branches across
the country including one in Ethiopia.
As a Registered Library User, you are expected to
carry your activated Library access card when
entering any Unisa Library.
As a Registered Student, you can access resources
from all the regional branches of the Unisa Library,
and also online and from our Mobile bus Libraries
available in Limpopo and Western Cape.

The Encore Duet enables the Unisa Library users search across multiple databases via one search interface. The databases searched by Encore Duet include: • the Library Catalogue, and • a selection of the major subject databases to which the Library subscribes.

Electronic Reserves • E-Reserves are materials prescribed or recommended for your course. • E-reserves include journal articles, law cases and chapters from books. • You may use the course code or title to access or download the required material, e.g. PVL2602, IOP3703 or title, ‘Assessment in organisations’ Note that: You need the Adobe Reader to view Recommended materials in PDF format!

borrow books up to 8 items, and 4 audio-visual items at

• In the case of the music devices, the undergraduate
students may borrow up to 12 items and postgraduate
students music students up to 20 items. Only students
