There are three libraries on campus, the Central Library, the Law Library, and the Education Library. The Library is open seven days a week, and offers students 1,024 places to study and read. The Library contains over 1,012,000 volumes, including books, journals and microforms, plus a large collection of maps. It also has a comprehensive New Zealand collection. The Library receives 3,483 print journal titles and around 29,500 electronic journal titles annually. All materials held by the Library are listed in the Catalogue, which can be accessed online, or direct at http://waikato.lconz.ac.nz/.

The Library subscribes to a number of international electronic databases which are available via LibraryLink to all students, both on- and off-Campus, who have University of Waikato usernames and passwords. There is an Inter-Library Loan service that allows students to access material from other libraries within New Zealand when needed.  Library staff offer tutorials on referencing and EndNote as well as subject-specific tutorials for graduate groups. Facilities within the Library include an Information Commons with 120 computers.

Graduate students should contact their Subject Librarians, Jenny, Jillene, Ruth and Heather for any help required with Library resources.
