Introducing myself

Hi

I'm Danie Malan Information Specialist at the Merensky Library (Main Campus) University of Pretoria. I am responsible for the following Departments. School for Build Environment: Architecture, Construction Economics and Regional and Town Planning; School for IT: Informatics, Information Science and Computer Science; Natural Science: Geology and Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology. I’m also responsible for the Management of the Merensky Library and the IT Department of the University of Pretoria.

I started to work as a student in the Library at the photo copy section in the Library long before outsourcing. From there I moved to the lending counter and then Facilities Management where I was the Head and in 2003 I started my "new career" as Information Specialist on level 5 of the Merensky Library. I had a couple of Engineering subjects but at the end of 2009 we were doing some reshuffling on level 5 and I passed my Engineering subjects to my colleague.

I am looking forward to meet everyone, and being part of this exciting opportunity!
