Library Database and Resource Directory

From January 2025, our library has looked different BUT our core services have continued!   

• In 2025 we created a new National digital library for Health New Zealand staff from all districts - giving the same access to point of care tools, databases, ejournals, and ebooks .  This new Librray portal goes live on January 1.  Health New Zealand staff can access the here - ‪https://research.ebsco.com/c/pxkvrm/search

   

  .  If accessing remotely or off site we are enabling OpenAthens to provide access.  Please enter your staff email when prompted.  
  
  
• Primary care partners now have access to a point of care tool, plus ejournal and ebook collections.  This is now live. Health professionals in the community (GPs, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals) can now register for access to a collection of librray resources that includes BMJ Best Practice, ClinicalKey and the MedLine Ultimate and CINAHL Ultimate databases that includes full text jo8urnal content.   Register for an account and search the resources
  
  
• District library intranet pages will link to the National digital library, local district book collections, and to librarian services and support.

National library services include:

• Online access to databases, journals and ebooks 
• Professional advice and support for locating information resources 
• Physical access to print books in district hospital libraries throughout New Zealand Aotearoa. 

Librarians located in your district can advise on the resources and services available to staff and partners.
