Description
The purpose of this poster is to describe the mobile library as a method of library service delivery in Open Distance Learning (ODL). In the context of this presentation the mobile library is a vehicle that carries library material and services to UNISA students. The mobile library is considered as one of the dynamic strategies of providing library and information service to students residing in outlying areas of Cape Town. It reaches out to students who would under normal circumstances not be able to visit branch libraries. It strives to be student-centered by enhancing opportunities of equitable access to library services. The mobile library service provides access to the print book collection, assistance with e-books and journals, electronic resources, reference service, catalogue and subject searches, library related and non-library related queries. An opportunity for students to browse through the collection is created.
