  • You can now limit searches on Index New Zealand to full text. This will mean either the article in full text, or related full text content. Sometimes access to fulltext will be limited to searchers with a valid subscription, so please check with your library to see whether it has a current subscription to the journal concerned.
  • We now index more than 430 'current' journals, an increase of 112 titles over the last 2 years (an increase of 30% since early 2007). While titles have been added over the entire subject range the emphasis has been on scientific journals and journals in te reo Māori.
