CPIT Library post earthquake

Although we are still in the Red Zone cordon the task of cleaning up the library has begun.  The building has come off extremely well. There are books, magazines and other library material on the floor that need to be picked up, sorted and reshelved, but that work will be completed over the next few days.

While our physical library and collections are out of action this is a great opportunity to explore our online collections.

If you need a daily newspaper fix, go to Press Display.  There are far more titles than we could ever make available on our newspaper stand, and you don’t get black fingers.

With our new Primo Library Search you can search across the bulk of our online resources in a single search.  The Books & more tab searches across the library catalogue and research papers from the CPIT Research Repository.  Restrict your search to online only materials (such as ebooks and ejournals) by running a search in the Books & more tab and clicking on “Full Text Online” which appears below Show Only to the left of your search results.

The Journal Articles tab searches only online resources.  You need to Sign In (using your CPIT network username and password) before you can access this content.  Once you have signed in you can save any items that you find to your eshelf.  This saves the need to print articles and is useful when you are ready write your references or bibliography.  You can also add notes to each item on your eshelf reminding yourself of important page numbers or other referencing information.

You can still access any of your favourite online resources from the the library’s Online Resources & Database page.

If you need any assistance then please contact us on library@cpit.ac.nz .

CPIT Library Earthquake Recovery

Since the February earthquake the CPIT Library has been closed, along with the whole of the Madras St campus. CPIT courses are being run out of a variety of venues around the city, and information is regularly updated on the CPIT website. Please check out the website for updates on when the Library will open again.
We request that staff and students please hold on to any library items they currently have on loan until we have reopened.  Opening dates will be advised on the CPIT Website. Overdue charges will not apply!!
