Please note that the greater part of our collection was destroyed in the Jagger Library fire in 2021. You may request copies of documents through the Inter-Library Loans department or visit another library. Items received since then will have shelf numbers in green.
This is a guide to government information for Social Development students. It includes pages on specific topics with catalogue records of publications in the Government Publications Department of UCT Libraries, on-line links to publications and links to websites.

The Government Publications Department houses a central collection of government publications, including policy, legislation, statistics, public finance, parliamentary debates, government gazettes and planning publications. We collect publications from many African countries as well as regional inter-governmental organisations and some international governmental organisations.
We provide a specialised information service and can help you find publications and information in a wide range of electronic and print sources on a variety of topics.
We collect publications from the shelves for you. You may borrow loan copies of publications. Because government publications are primary sources one copy of each publication must stay in the library at all times.
You may use government publications in the main part of the Library when we are closed, except for old material.
