How to request articles

Before requesting articles
First, check the school library and other local resources before requesting articles listed in Index New Zealand. Your library may hold the journal or have access to online sources of the full text.

Please select carefully and only request the most relevant articles. We suggest you read Email/print/save from the Help screen before you start.

How long does it take?
Requests are processed within two business days. Items posted out need to have extra time allowed for the time items spend in the mail.
