Te Puna Search is a web-based search service giving access to what is held in New Zealand libraries and worldwide.

Te Puna Search is the view of the combined catalogue of New Zealand libraries on WorldCat, so customers can limit their search to the holdings of New Zealand libraries or widen their search to include worldwide library holdings.

If you are wanting an item you have found on Te Puna Search, you will need to visit your local library and they will interloan the item through the correct channels for you.

There may be fees to do this.
