THE MIND BLOWING GADGETS



The first week of the CPD programme featured the presentation of some mind blowing toys of the UNISA library. On display was the 3D printers and scanners. I was just recovering from the shock of being so uninformed about all these 'toys' when we were availed the opportunity to visit the UNISA library. I was not prepared for what I saw. I was totally dazed, to say the least surprised at the level of sophistication of the library. It is a mega and complex system simplified and made effective with the employment of automated systems. Of course the automated security system was no more alien to me by the time I entered the library. It was other systems that caught my attention.

THE BOOK LENDING SYSTEM:This automates the whole process of lending. This is absolutely amazing.

THE SORTER: This sorts the lent books.


 THE TELELIFT: An amazing innovative technology. For sending physical materials from one floor to another.
