A week on from the fire, librarians and volunteers are salvaging material from the risk of water damage and assessing the full extent of the loss.<\/p>\n<p>We have received enquiries from both library and academic colleagues who wish to offer their support along with messages of commiseration. The UCT Library created a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lib.uct.ac.za\/jagger-recovery\">Jagger Library Support page<\/a> for this purpose, as well as an update from the Vice Chancellor where there is a link to the UCT\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alumni.uct.ac.za\/giving\/ways-to-give\">Ways to Give<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Reports from UCT and Jagger Library suggest it is still very early days of clean-up and assessment of damages.
