The Encore catalogue is being upgraded, ready for business first thing on Tuesday 17 January. New features to look out for are advanced searching, requesting in batches from My Cart, and search history.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

Having trouble searching the Library Catalogue? We have revamped our Library Catalogue Help.

Learn more about advanced searching, sorting, folders, carts, exporting to EndNote, reading history, MyLibrary and more.

You can get to Library Catalogue Help from either version of the Library Catalogue. In Encore there is a link at the bottom right of the page; in the Classic Catalogue it's at the top left.

And please contact us if you would like help from Library staff.

Want to know if that book is really what you need? Many books in Massey University Library’s Encore catalogue now come with lots of useful information – like contents (chapter headings) and summaries. You can just click on one of the links.

In our Classic catalogue (below) this information can be viewed by clicking on the “Reviews and summaries at Syndetics” link, and you can view the Table of Contents by clicking on the tab in the middle of the screen.

Need more information about a book that is in the Library catalogue? Information is just a click away. You can see which other NZ libraries hold the book - particularly useful if you are a distance student, or if the book is held at a campus library in another city. We also provide links to review websites and to Google Book Search. You may want to buy a copy, rather than just borrow it from us, and we provide links to websites selling new and used books.

If you are using the Encore catalogue then just click on the Explore button.

If you are searching the Classic catalogue then just click on the green More About This Item button at the right of the screen.

Summer can be a time to do some catching up on your reading, and the Library has various ways to help you keep up with the (book) publishing in your area - at least that part of it that we buy!

The traditional way to do this is to check out the new books display, which at Turitea changes every Friday. Get a breath of fresh air on the way.

You can also find out about our new books from your desktop. The New Titles at Massey Library page allows you to generate lists of what’s arrived in the Library this week, last week, or 2, 3, 4 weeks ago. You can generate campus lists, or College lists. There are also separate lists for DVDs, CDs, Nga Kupu Ora, New Zealand and Pacific, Theses, and Junior/Picture books.
