Library Self-Check Machines and Security Gates Upgrade

We are pleased to let all library users know that the self-check machines at both the Mt Albert and Waitākere libraries have been upgraded.

The new self-check machines are faster, easier to use, and provide a smoother borrowing experience. You can now issue your own library books using your student ID, without needing to wait for assistance at the Ask Me Desk. This service is available whenever the library is open, including times when staff may not be available.

Security Gate Upgrades

We have also upgraded the security gates at:

Building 180, Mt Albert Library
B520, Waitākere Library

If the security gate alarm sounds when you pass through, please do not ignore it. 

Please, check that all library books have been issued correctly at a self-check machine. Visit the Ask Me Desk at Mt Albert Library or speak to library staff at Waitākere Library.
Contact the library team if you need assistance 

The alarm usually means that an item has not been issued properly, and our staff will be happy to help resolve the issue.

Thank you and we hope you enjoy using our upgraded library services.

Pacific Collection Resources Are Now Available to Borrow

 Bula vinaka and warm Pacific greetings,

From the start of Semester 2 this year, the Pacific collection has transitioned from a reference-only collection to a lending collection. This means that all physical items, including Pacific books, DVDs, and other collection materials, are now available for loan.

The Pacific collection is a separate collection located at the Unitec Waitākere campus Library. Whether you're working on an assignment, undertaking Pacific research, or enhancing your knowledge of Pacific cultures and communities, you can now borrow Pacific collection resources and access them at your convenience. This change reflects the Library's commitment to supporting Pacific student success and improving access to our library users at Unitec.

                         Our Pacific collection is located at Waitākere Unitec Library in Building 520 (Level 3) 

Supporting your teaching, learning and research needs:

•         Use the Unitec LibrarySearch to find and request Pacific collection resources
•          The Pacific collection at Waitākere Library includes general Pacific books, Pacific health, nursing and social practice, foundational and bridging education subject areas taught at Waitākere campus. Please see the table for Pacific topics covered within the Pacific collection here: https://guides.unitec.ac.nz/pasifika/pacificcollection 
•         At the Te Puna Library, Pacific related books are selected and purchased to support the subject areas taught at Mt Albert campus. The books are interfiled in the general collection with the teaching subjects and are loanable.  Please see the table for Pacific related books – Te Puna Library here: https://guides.unitec.ac.nz/pasifika/Pacificrelatedbooks 

New P sticker for easy identification

Pacific collection resources are now easier to spot and locate on the shelves at Waitākere Library.

All physical items in the Pacific collection feature a new P sticker and will be labelled with PACIFIC in the call number 919.611 SIE PACIFIC.

Unitec Library books with Pacific content have a frangipani label on their spines too.
