\"\" Following the repeal of the remaining national Covid-19 regulations on 22 June 2022 and a statement issued by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Social Impact, Transformation and Personnel on 24 June, the Library (SU Library and branches) has decided to implement the following changes:<\/p>\n

Number of clients and booking system<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"From 27 June 2022, the Library no longer has a limit on the number of clients and the buildings can be filled to capacity. The booking system in most of the Library venues will no longer apply, except at the Makerspace, Auditorium and some group study seminar rooms in the SU Library.<\/p>\n

Sanitisation stations and social distancing<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Library will retain the sanitisation stations inside its buildings and where possible, clients are urged to continue maintaining social distancing.<\/p>\n

SU access cards <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Staff and students are reminded to always be in possession of their SU staff\/student cards to access the Library buildings. No access will be granted without these cards.<\/p>\n

Visitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"The Library is in the process of implementing a new access system for visitors (such as alumni, prospective postgraduates and school learners). Until the new system is in place visitors do not have walk-in access to the libraries. Visitors, may however, contact <\/span>SU Library Special Collections<\/a>, <\/span>SU Library Client Service<\/a>, <\/span>Music Library<\/a>, <\/span>Theology Library<\/a>, <\/span>Engineering and Forestry Library<\/a>, <\/span>Medicine and Health Sciences Library<\/a> or <\/span>Bellville Park Campus Library<\/a> to make an appointment to visit the library in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Visitors who qualify for lending privileges may use the Request a Book for Pickup<\/a> service.<\/p>\n

All visiting researchers and academics must make prior arrangements through their faculties and departments to gain access to the Library.<\/p>\n

Complaints about noise levels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following complaints about high levels of noise in the Library, staff and students are reminded to adhere to the Library rules. The Library has designated quiet spaces where talking is not allowed. This rule will be strictly applied in the second semester.<\/p>\n
