Page Content - Visiting & using other university libraries...
Registered honours, master's and doctoral students and staff of Stellenbosch University have access to the following university libraries in the Western Cape: Universities of Cape Town and the Western Cape and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. These four libraries form the Cape Higher Education Library Network (CHELiN).
The following provisions, abstracted from the Cape Higher Education Library Network (CHELiN) Reciprocal Access and Borrowing Agreement, apply:
Access to CHELiN libraries will be by means of staff and student card, although specific institutions may issue additional library access cards where access is controlled electronically.
CHELiN users will abide by the rules of the institution they are visiting.
CHELiN users must receive training in the use of the electronic catalogue at their home library (the institution they are registered with).
Access to the electronic catalogue of all CHELiN libraries is available at your home library.
Excluded from the agreement at Stellenbosch University is the Bellville Park Campus Library (USBL).
Registered honours, master’s and doctoral students and staff of Stellenbosch University may complete attached form to request a referral letter to present at the other Western Cape university libraries mentioned above in order to apply for borrowing membership. Please return the completed form via e-mail. For enquiries, phone +27 21 808 4883. Circulation staff will complete the Details of Referring Library section on the form and return the form to you to take along to the other CHELiN library.
The following provisions abstracted from the Cape Higher Education Library Network (CHELiN) Reciprocal Access and Borrowing Agreement, apply:
CHELiN borrowers will abide by the rules of the institutions they are borrowing from.
CHELiN borrowers must apply for and obtain a referral letter from their home library before applying for borrowing membership at a CHELiN library.
Home libraries may refuse to issue a referral letter to a CHELiN borrower should they not be prepared to take responsibility for that person’s borrowing due to past delinquencies or behaviour, in which case no application for borrowing membership at CHELiN libraries will be possible.
All borrowed items must be returned to the CHELiN library from which they were borrowed.
Borrowing from university libraries in other parts of South Africa
Stellenbosch University staff and registered masters and doctoral students may complete and submit the electronic form to request a referral letter to present at another university library elsewhere in South Africa. These are, amongst others, the libraries of UNISA and the Universities of Pretoria, Johannesburg, the Witwatersrand, Free State, KwaZulu Natal and Rhodes University.
The institutions will deal with occasional visitors in terms of their established policies.
Alle geregistreerde studente en personeel van die Universiteit Stellenbosch het toegang tot die ander drie universiteitsbiblioteke in die Wes-Kaap: Kaapstad, Wes-Kaap en die Skiereilandse Universiteit van Tegnologie. Die vier biblioteke vorm saam die Cape Higher Education Library Network (CHELiN).
Die volgende voorwaardes, opgesom uit die Cape Higher Education Library Network (CHELiN) Reciprocal Access and Borrowing Agreement, is van toepassing:
Toegang tot CHELiN-biblioteke geskied met ’n personeel- of studentekaart, alhoewel sommige instansies, waar toegang elektronies beheer word, bykomende toegangskaarte kan uitreik.
CHELiN-gebruikers moet die reëls van die instansie wat hulle besoek, gehoorsaam.
CHELiN-gebrukers moet by hul tuisbiblioteek (by die instansie waar hulle geregistreer is) opgelei word in die gebruik van die elektroniese katalogus.
Toegang tot die elektroniese katalogus van al die CHELiN-biblioteke is beskikbaar by elke student se tuisbiblioteek.
By die Universiteit Stellenbosch is die Bellvilleparkkampusbiblioteek (USBB) uit die ooreenkoms uitgesluit.
Leen boeke by ander universiteitsbiblioteke in die Wes-Kaap
Geregistreerde honneurs-, meesters- en doktorale studente en dosente van die Universiteit Stellenbosch kan aangehegte vorm voltooi om by een van die universiteitsbiblioteke hierbo genoem aansoek om toelating en uitleenvoorregte te doen. Stuur asb. die voltooide vorm via e-pos. Vir navrae, kontak +27 21 808 4883. Bronverskaffingspersoneel sal die Details of Referring Library-gedeelte op die vorm voltooi en die vorm terugstuur sodat die kliënt dit na die ander CHELiN-biblioteek kan saamneem.
CHELiN-gebruikers moet die reëls van die instansie waar hulle boeke uitleen, gehoorsaam.
CHELiN-leners moet 'n verwysingsbrief van hul tuisbiblioteek verkry voordat hulle aansoek doen vir uitleenlidmaatskap by 'n CHELiN-biblioteek.
Tuisbiblioteke kan weier om 'n verwysingsbrief aan 'n CHELiN-lener uit te reik indien die biblioteek, weens vorige oortredings of gedrag, nie bereid is om verantwoordelikheid te aanvaar vir daardie persoon se lening nie. In so 'n geval is 'n aansoek tot uitleenlidmaatskap by CHELiN-biblioteke nie moontlik nie.
Uitleenlidmaatskap is slegs geldig vir die akademiese jaar waarvoor CHELiN-leners by hul tuisinstansies geregistreer is, of slegs vir die huidige akademiese jaar. Daar moet dus aan die begin van elke akademiese jaar weer vir lidmaatskap aansoek gedoen word.
Alle uitgeleende items moet aan die CHELiN-biblioteek waar dit uitgeleen is, terugbesorg word.
By die Universiteit Stellenbosch is die Bellvilleparkkampusbiblioteek (USBB) nie by die ooreenkoms ingesluit nie.
