New setup for Main Library computers
The six computers in a circle in front of the Issues desk at the Main Library were formerly able to be used without logging on, and were intended mainly for catalogue searching.
They have now been modified so that they have the same setup as the other Library PCs. This means that you have to log on to use them with your Unitec username and password. You can use them to access your personal files, and can print from them.
If you just want to do a quick catalogue search without logging on, there are two new PCs set up for this purpose. They are between the book stacks and the wall, on your right as you come in to the Library and face away from the Issues desk.
Four more PCs are to be installed, so that eventually there will be six PCs for catalogue searching; three on the ground floor and three on the first floor.

Laws of New Zealand
The Library has subscribed to the electronic version of the legal encyclopedia Laws of New Zealand.
This resource has approximately 150 subject titles (eg animals, environment, family protection, recreation and entertainment) with each title covering all aspects of the NZ law relating to the subject area, including a table of statutes and cases.
Laws of New Zealand is available as part of the Library's Lexis-Nexis subscription. It can be found on the A-Z databases list and on the Law subject page.
The Library's subscription to the print version of Laws of New Zealand has been discontinued.

EndNote XI now available
The latest edition of the citation management software EndNote is now available to be borrowed from the library. EndNote is only available on CD-ROM. It cannot be downloaded. To obtain an EndNote CD simply go to the Issues desk at any branch of the Library. At present only Windows CDs are available.
The main difference from earlier editions is the ability to create groups of references on a similar subject. Existing EndNote libraries can easily be transferred from EndNote X to EndNote XI.

New database: JSTOR Arts and Science Collection III
We now have access to the JSTOR Arts & Sciences III collection.
This provides an almost complete backrun, with fulltext, of 150 titles in architecture, the arts and humanities (see title list).
Due to licensing agreements with publishers however, issues are usually "embargoed" or not available for 2-5 years after publication (also called a moving wall).
To access the database go to our Databases A-Z page or click on the following link
