In addition, the Auckland Museum Library has an exceptionally strong collection of books on birds. Although not all are catalogued online, you will get a fair idea of the resource through the Museum's Library catalogue.

How you can access bird books

Many of the books are available for borrowing through the inter-library loan scheme. Simply take the details of the books you want to your local public library (a charge may apply).

If you are in Auckland, you are very welcome to visit and use the Library during opening hours. Visit their website. Alternatively, you can ask our OSNZ Librarian to photocopy selected pages from a book.

Enquiries other than for loans can be made to library [at] aucklandmuseum [dot] com

How you can access periodicals and articles

You can request copies of articles or parts of journals by contacting our OSNZ Librarian. Alternatively, if you wish to receive journals regularly, you can ask our OSNZ Librarian to get your name added on a circulation list (a charge may apply).

So make use of those books and periodicals and get in touch with the Library!
