Finding information

You can see a Māori services librarian for:

  • support
  • advice
  • training in how to use the library’s collections and services.

We can help you access Māori print and electronic resources, as well as non-Māori resources.

Information skills tutorials

We can arrange course-specific tutorials with lecturers and course organisers for students at all levels. These tutorials focus on:

  • library resources, both print and electronic
  • searching Discover, article databases and other electronic resources
  • referencing software and tools
  • evaluating resources
  • hands-on searching
  • practical exercises.

Book an appointment

You can book an appointment if you’re a Māori staff member or postgraduate student working on a thesis or research project.

We offer individual appointments. You can meet with either a subject librarian or a member of the Māori services team.

It’s a good idea to book an appointment if:

  • you’re having trouble finding materials on a particular topic
  • you’d like personal help using the library or our electronic resources
  • you need help starting your research.

In your session we can help you:

  • identify appropriate resources in various formats
  • map out research strategies.

To make sure we’re prepared for your appointment, please book at least three business days in advance.
