The Library came into being in 1946 when Unisa introduced distance teaching as a mode of tuition.

In addition, the Library stocks over 300 000 other items as well as 4 000 current periodical titles. The Library also subscribes to an increasing number of electronic journals (e-journals). Both the e-journals and the growing collection of electronic books (e-books) are available to Unisa students and staff online 24/7 via the Internet, regardless of the userโ€™s physical location.
