Abstract:

The multicultural nature of South Africa is recognised by our Constitution when it says that "the South African nation consists of a diversity of cultural, religious and linguistic communities." It also states that "everyone has the right to use the language and to participate in the cultural life of their choice" (South Africa, 1996). This supports the IFLA (1998: 6) International Guidelines for Library Services to Multicultural Communities which recommends that all ethnic, linguistic and other cultural groups be provided with library materials and services according to the same standards.

Submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M Bibl in the department of Library and Information Science at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1993.<br>Public relations is the art of relating to and communicating with one's public. The study emphasizes the dualistic nature of the concept, i.e. identifying the public's needs and wants ; and, keeping the public informed. PR is a planned process and planning effective PR programmes requires academic libraries to conduct a PR audit. The traditional concept of PR as merely a component of promotion

Abstract:

M. Bibl.<br>This study examines the potential of library outreach services in the development of disadvantaged black communities. It also investigates the possibility of closer co-operation between libraries and other service organisations in the presentation of library outreach services. It is generally recognised that effective, relevant library services can help uplift disadvantaged people, but for a number of reasons disadvantaged black South Africans do not use or benefit from libraries. Libraries in South Africa therefore face a great challenge. They must remove the barriers that have pr

Abstract:

D. Litt. et Phil.<br>The drastic reduction of funds allocated annually to public libraries has caused a serious shortage of financial and other resources. At the same time, various policy documents published in recent years emphasise the importance of public libraries for the development of South African society as a whole. Public libraries will therefore have to adapt and extend their services to cater for the needs of the communities they serve and to take their rightful place in the development of these communities. Using members of the local communities as voluntary workers is a proposed s

Abstract:

D.Litt. et Phil. (Library and Information Science)<br>Since the first library building was built in 1900 at the University of Stellenbosch no scientific study of library buildings as seen from the viewpoint of the librarian in the RSA has been done. No South African criteria for libraries at tertiary institutions exist, but SAPSE building norms have been available since the late seventies. The shift of priority from merely collecting information to providing information and updating developments in information and telecommunication technology, have resulted in the philosophy of the library bui
