Tertiary

If you are studying at tertiary level you’ll need a range of general and subject-specific resources. Your library has plenty - from online databases of journals in the Source to expert personal assistance with reference enquiries.

Whatever your assignment or research topic, we can help you find the information you need.

The Source: online resources

Christchurch City Libraries subscribes to a large number of online resources. Most can be freely accessed over the internet by entering your library card number and password / PIN, but a few can only be accessed from within our libraries.
