How to use the UCT LIBRARIES
How do I renew my loans?
To renew your books in person,
just take them to the loans desk
and ask for a renewal. (Have your
student card handy.) To renew
by phone, contact the loans desk
on 021 650 3118/20. (Have your
student number handy.) To renew
your books online, simply log in
to My Library Card on the website
lib.uct.ac.za.
What if the item I need is
already out on loan? You can
place a request for the item with
the loans desk staff, who will recall
the item and reserve it for you.
DID YOU KNOW?
I want to return items,
but the library is closed.
What should I do? There is
an overnight returns hatch at
the bottom of the stairs leading
up to the main entrance of the
Chancellor Oppenheimer Library.
The returns hatch is open when
the library is closed and closed
when the library is open.
Why have I been blocked from
taking materials from the
library? Late returns will incur
a fine of R2 per day. If you owe
a fine of R50 or more, the system
will automatically block you from
borrowing further material until it
is paid.
What is ALEPH? ALEPH is the
library catalogue. It is used to keep
track of library resources and you
can use ALEPH to search for the
materials you need. It will tell you
if the resource is available and will
indicate the location (the UCT library
and shelf number) of the resource.
You can also log in from the libraries’
webpage (www.lib.uct.ac.za) under
Search & Find.
