SA Library Week 2010 will be celebrated nationally from 22 - 27 March 2010 with the theme "Reading Changes Lives".
UCT Libraries invites you to join us in celebrating SA Library Week with these events and activities:-
* Join the Libraries in supporting Equal Education's "1 school, 1 library, 1 librarian" campaign for school libraries by signing their petition online and/or donating books for rural and township school libraries. There will be collection points in the Chancellor Oppenheimer Library, Law Library and Health Sciences Library.
* Reading changes lives:- Did you know that Alex D'Angelo of the Humanities Library is a published children's author with several books to his name, including two stories in Madiba Magic: Nelson Mandela's Favourite Stories for Children? Alex will be sharing some of his favourite stories with us at a brown-bag lunchtime event on Wednesday 24 March 2010 at 1 pm in Ulwazi, Knowledge Commons, in the Chancellor Oppenheimer Library.
* New electronic resources: join us for an introduction to the new online resources that UCT Libraries have acquired for 2010. Caroline Dean, Electronic Resources Librarian, will show us new and upgraded packages of online journals, as well as new databases. Resources on the list include Project Muse, Sage Journals online, and IEEE/IET Electronic Library (IEL). This is also a brown-bag lunchtime event on Friday 26 March 2010 at 1 pm in Ulwazi, Knowledge Commons, in the Chancellor Oppenheimer Library.
No need to book, just bring yourself and your lunch and spend an hour or so with us celebrating SA Library Week.
