UCT Libraries

In the spring of 1962, on 24 September, the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Brand van Zyl Law Library opened its doors with a clear course of action: to serve students and academics in UCT’s Faculty of Law.

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.

On Saturday, 8th October 2022, the University of Cape Town hosted its very first #FutureUCTGraduateDay. It’s purpose? To dangle as many carrots from just as many sticks into the eager hands of prospective students.

You've got this, cool and steady wins the race and never be afraid to ask for help.

These libraries will be open seven days a week from Saturday 22 Oct to Tuesday 15 Nov 2022. Vacation hours commence on 16 Nov.

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.
