Niel retired in December 2023 after 44 years of excellent service to the clients of Stellenbosch University Library (SU Library). Niel\u2019s view on client service, is a welcome return to solid human values. Niel also had an uncanny way of always finding the source the client was looking for. Niel possessed a rare and admirable quality that went beyond mere \u201cgetting the job done\u201d. Niel made it a personal mission to prioritise the needs of clients by making them feel welcome in the SU Library. With an unwavering commitment to putting clients first, he has left a large footprint on the SU Library\u2019s landscape. Niel’s client service was almost a way of life and should be standard procedure for any aspiring librarian. \u201cGoing the extra mile\u201d was Niel\u2019s motto. Always professional, but with a smile and humorous quip close by.<\/p>\n
