A very warm welcome to Wits University, and in particular, to the Faculty of Health Sciences. We hope that your years of study will be productive and rewarding, and that you will find the Library at the Medical School (the Witwatersrand Health Sciences Library or WHSL for short) a warm and inviting place to explore new information and to study for your exams, as well as discuss your projects with your co-students.

Few rules to note;

• Do not bring food and drinks in the library.
• Always return books on or before the date stamped on the return date slip at the back of the book.
• If you reach a maximum amount of R30.00 in fines, you will not be allowed to take out any library material.
• No cash can be taken in payment for fines. Please load money onto your student card to pay for fines.
• WHSL is a silent study library. Please respect fellow students by not making noise at the study areas. Postgraduate students also study in WHSL, and get very angry if they are disturbed. 

Note: You may only use your cell phone in WHSL in designated areas. These include the Discussion Room and the area next to the issue desk.  Cell phone use in other Wits Libraries is not permitted.

The link below will provide you with information about "MyWits" - an online student self service including student email, WIFI hot spots, e-Learning, and password self service.

If you need any assistance regarding library use, books, journals or general information visit the information desk at the library from 08H30 - 17H00 during week days. Kindly note that on Wednesdays we open at 10H30.

Let us know what you need so we can add it to the Guide by contacting devind.peter@wits.ac.za or ask the Librarian on duty at the Information Desk.
