How do I access Mātauranga Māori and the Pacific Collection?
Over the next few weeks The Pacific Collection will be moving from Level 3 to its final home on Level 1. Mātauranga Māori will be moving from Level 4 to its final home on Level 1.
- You will have continuous access to both collections during the move.
- If you can’t find an item you are looking for, check both its old and new location or ask our friendly Student Hubs staff at the Level G Help Desk.
When will I be able to book a group study space?
- The group study space booking system will come online later in the semester. Until then, you are welcome to use the spaces for collaborative study, on a first-come, first-served basis.
