UCT Libraries

The COVID-19 pandemic and the Jagger Library fire are two unprecedented situations that foreground the latest Library Annual Report. Snapshots of the salvage and recovery operations and our teaching and learning efforts are also shared.

The Digital Library Services (DLS) department of UCT Libraries will be continuing their online training webinars on Research Data Management in the 1st Semester of 2023.

The compilation of a two-year report provided an opportunity to reflect on our ability to migrate from functioning as a contact-based academic library in 2019 to a virtual library service when confronted with the global COVID-19 pandemic.

This report provides a detailed overview of the University of Cape Town Libraries' initiatives, challenges, and achievements during the 2022/2023 reporting period.
