A Letter of Introduction contains a request for permission to use another university library. The request is made by the NWU Library and Information Service on behalf of a student or staff member. NWU LIS accepts requests from other university libraries to use our libraries, and the service is provided per the CHELSA Memorandum of Understanding.
The service is available to registered Master's and Doctoral students, academics, and research staff.
Grounds for issuing Letters of Introduction:
- Evidence of inadequate NWU's library resources in a particular academic area.
- Special research requirements that cannot be met by the NWU's Library and Information Service.
- A Letter of Introduction will not be provided merely for those wishing to access another institution's library.
- Read through the Memorandum of Understanding to ascertain if you qualify for a letter of introduction.
