    Information Services
    The Information librarians are located on the first floor of the Sasol Library. Their main responsibility
    is to assist both staff and students in finding information in various formats. Information Librarians
    also provide training for users on various databases and electronic information resources including
    the Internet, so that users will be able to find information on their own. An information awareness
    service is also provided.
