Introduction to Study

This is the Subject LibGuide for Intro to Study students, offering expert librarian tips and information to help you get the best out of Wintec Library as you study.

Finding books, ebooks, & magazines

  Finding books, ebooks, & magazines

Wintec Library has books, online ebooks, and magazines both in the City and Rotokauri Libraries and online.

You can search all of our books and ebooks in OneSearch, or you can look directly in the Wintec Library Catalogue for print books and magazines and in Proquest eBook Central or Ebscohost for ebooks. There are some good reasons to do both!

If you have any problems with books, ebooks, or online magazines,
email your Subject Librarian or come and see us at the Library Information Desk!
