SABC MEDIA LIBRARIES

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) Media Library is the information hub for audio and printed material relating to broadcasting.
The SABC Media Library has valuable collections, available for research, re-use, or repurposing, which is available to both public and production houses subject to copyright clearances.




 
Manager of the SABC Media Libraries:
Bennie Jacobs

"The Media Libraries has a solid foundation and it is up to us to build on that foundation. We are increasingly faced with the prospect of digitisation. I believe that the time has come that we stop talking about digitisation. We need to act on it. I believe that we can start small, while the organisation is still deciding what to do about digitisation. Starting small and getting it right will be a confidence booster and it will be proof that it can be done. We need to start believing in our own ability to make digitisation happen and take ownership of the process. 
The Media Libraries has been and is still focusing on delivering excellent service to its internal and external clients."
