The General Reference Collection provides access to a number of online databases that are available for use when visiting the Library.
The collection includes a wide range of international reference works on all subjects, including:
- atlases
- dictionaries
- directories
- encyclopedias
- indexing and abstracting publications
- yearbooks.
Planned changes to collection access
The National Library's building redevelopment means access to some collections will change over the coming relocation period.
This collection will remain fully available through the redevelopment period, through a location on Thorndon Quay.
We expect to finalise the dates of the relocation later in 2009. We will give you at least one month’s notice of the change in location.
For more information email atl@natlib.govt.nz
