Conclusion
The primary responsibility of an academic library is to
service and uphold the academic institution of which it is a
part. This is in line with the generally accepted fact that
academic libraries are the heart of their respective
institutions. Therefore, by striving to become and to
deliver a world-class Library Service the Library will be
enabling the University of Pretoria to attain its primary
strategic objective, viz.: that of becoming an internationally
recognised South African teaching and research university.
