There are no laptops available for loan from the library. Please contact studentsupport@unitec.ac.nz for assistance with equipment needs.

Returning your library items
Items may now be returned (although note that most items are not due back until 28 July). At Mt Albert Campus please use the external book returns bins near the main entrances of B180 (Te Puna Student Hub), or when the building is open use the returns slot by the stairs on the Red Lecture theatre side. At Waitākere, you may return from 8 June, to the public library or Unitec library on B520 Level 3.

Requesting books and other items
If you request an item you can now select a library location or ‘Online Support’. Online support is how you opt for Click and Collect, and you will be contacted by our Subject Librarians and be emailed when item is ready to collect. Alternatively if you choose to pick up your items from the library location you will just get an automated notice when it is ready to collect and you will need to locate the item on the hold shelf (under your surname) and issue the item to yourself via the self-check.

Group study rooms are available. Due to social distancing requirements, please limit the number of people in your group to 50% of stated room capacity, and keep a record of who is in your group.

Please contact us at library@unitec.ac.nz or 0800 10 75 10 if you have any questions.
