Many Roads to Your Online Mecca
Need some help finding online resources? A great place to begin is from the Library website. From here NMIT staff (kaimahi) and students (ākonga) can:
- search DISCOVERY(external link), for a very broad general search of EVERYTHING, (articles, books, journals, ebooks, newspapers, videos, etc).
- look for a database by name on our A-Z database index
- check out Databases and websites by programme area
- see which specifically selected eBook collections are available
- find available journals, ebooks, article titles and databases using DISCOVERY's Publication Finder For NMIT(external link). Whilst not completely comprehensive, it is very extensive and will indicate full text titles indexed and provide a link to them. You can search by journal or book title, ISBN/ISSN, database, or subject.
- and, of course, search our trusty Library Catalogue(external link) to find print books, eBooks, journals, some e-journals, research reports, safety videos and more.
See our Support Services page to book one-on-one help sessions. We can show you how to find and use any of our resources or you can have a look at our Library help guides.
We can also provide Research and referencing help if needed.

Don't be a dinosaur!
Roll on up to level one of the Library and get yourself some fiction.
Kaimahi (staff) and ākonga (students) can borrow books from our fiction collection(external link) for 3 weeks, with an opportunity to renew your loans twice. We have a broad range of genres and nearly 900 items to choose from.
(N.B. Poster idea pinched from Facebook but created in-house)
