Te Puna is a collection of online tools and services created with the help of New Zealand librarians to support daily tasks of searching, cataloguing, sharing resources, and managing collections.
Te Puna Services are available only to member libraries, and are delivered by the National Library with the aim of saving time, money, and effort.
These services are built around the New Zealand National Union Catalogue (NUC), a collaboration between New Zealand libraries and the National Library.
