To avoid disappointment off-campus students signed up for document delivery and visiting the library in person for assistance are encouraged to make appointments with the contact persons. The contact persons will:
request the documents via interlibrary loans from another library, if necessary;
make photocopies or scan copies (within the limits of the copyright law, that is only one article per journal issue and one chapter per book);
issue the books to the student's library account;
send journal articles and scanned photocopies by e-mail;
send books from the Stellenbosch University and Theology libraries according to the student's preferred service, either by courier or registered mail;
send books from the Medicine & Health Science Library by registered mail only.
Off-campus students are responsible to collect the library material from the post office, renew the items on loan before the due date or return them either in person or by registered mail.
Signed up students receive an extended borrowing period of 2 months.
Books may be renewed twice unless requested by another client. More information is available on the Renew page under Borrowing.
To enable delivery of documents to your off-campus location and to collect the fees involved, a record of your contact details is required. As a signed-up off-campus student you will also receive an extended borrowing period of 2 months.
Are books delivered to other countries?
No books of the Library and Information Service will be mailed to other countries. Scanned pages from books (within the limits of the copyright law) and journal articles can, however, be e-mailed to signed-up off-campus students living abroad.
What if I still need access to other libraries?
Complete and submit the e-form to request a referral letter that needs to be presented to the other university libraries to gain access. Read more about this service at Visiting and using other university libraries.
All other services, as explained in the undergraduate, postgraduate and prospective postgraduate guides are available to signed-up off-campus students.
Faculty librarians may be contacted for research support, assistance in finding information, reference techniques and library training.
When visiting Stellenbosch, you may also borrow and return books at the lending section of the Stellenbosch University Library or at the relevant branch libraries.
