Services for Extramural Students


Borrowing books from other NZ University Libraries



Massey University Library is a member of the ULANZ reciprocal borrowing agreement among 7 of the 8 New Zealand Universities. This gives registered Massey University Library borrowers (i.e. staff and students) the right to enrol for limited borrowing privileges at those university libraries.



The other universities offering this service are AUT (Auckland), Waikato (Hamilton), Victoria (Wellington), Lincoln (Christchurch), Canterbury (Christchurch) and Otago (Dunedin). This may well be a service that is useful for extramural students living in these regions, so please publicise it to them.
