- Description
- [From Introduction] Mike Berning was born in 1941. He attended the King Edward VII School in Johannesburg before going up to Rhodes University in 1960, where he read Honours in History, graduating in 1963. Having decided on a career in librarianship, Mike proceeded from Rhodes to the University of Cape Town in 1964, initially to read for a Certificate in that subject. In 1968 he was awarded his Diploma in Librarianship from UCT. In the first part of 1965 Mike was employed in the South African Library in Cape Town, but in September of that year he was appointed Librarian of the Cory Library at Rhodes University. From 1978 until 1986 he acted as Deputy to the University Librarian until, in 1988, the post of Deputy University Librarian was created, to which he was appointed. Mike retired in 1999.
