Library Survey - Winners Announced

Thank you to everyone who responded to the Library survey. We hope the results will enable us to improve our services to you. 

We are pleased to announce that the winners of the Westfield vouchers are Jennifer Haven (Health student) and Kimberley Eddy (Education student). Kimberley said that she was so so so happy and that it was a pleasure answering the survey.  She also says that she feels that Unitec library is a great help towards her studies.

When we've received and analyzed the results over the next two months, we will post a summary of the survey findings.

Unitec Research Bank

The research outputs of Unitec, including theses, are being collected in a new institutional repository called the Unitec Research Bank. The Research Bank replaces Coda, the old institutional repository that ceased operations at the end of 2009.

Links to the theses from their records in the Library Catalogue will be created in due course, but for the present you can access theses by searching the Research Bank.

Waitakere Library Earlier Opening

Level 3 of Waitakere Joint Library and Te Puna Ora o Waitakere (Room 1001, Building 500) are now open at 8.00am from Monday to Friday.

Access to Level 3 is only by the airbridge from Level 3 of Building 510. Levels 1 and 2 of Waitakere Library remain closed until 8.30.

EndNote training session

A training session in the bibliographic management software EndNote for staff and postgraduate students will be held in the Library Training Room on Wednesday 14th April from 2.00 to 3.30. The session will cover the new features of EndNote X3, the latest edition, and use the new 6th edition of the APA Publication Manual.

EndNote is a software package that allows you to store and manage bibliographic references. It assists with creating bibliographies, making it a very useful tool for writing academic papers.

RIP Coda

Coda, Unitec's insitutional repository, has ceased to exist. It will be replaced early in the New Year by a new Unitec Research Bank containing Unitec theses and other research outputs. The Research Bank is expected to start operations by the end of January. Until then there will be no online access to Unitec's research outputs.
