Survey feedback from Library users often includes comments like “an abstract from your books would be helpful on-line just to have an idea if the book would be helpful”.
Well now you can – simply by clicking on the

button from the catalogue record.
If you are looking at the record for a book – the “More About This Item” button will open a pop-up window allowing you to see where else in NZ the book is held, whether there are previews, summaries and reviews, and where you can buy a copy.

If you are looking at the record for a journal title, then a similar pop-up window will open when you click on the “More About This Item” button, but this time you will get links to further information about the journal (such as whether it is peer-reviewed, how often it is published and what it costs, how to go about submitting an article for publication), and what its rank and impact factor are.
You can also see which other NZ libraries hold the journal.

Article Finder is a new feature which we have just implemented. It is a way of getting more directly to your specific article, rather than having to match up the citation with Massey’s holdings, and click through a number of screens until you get to the full text.
Click on the link at the bottom of the “More About This Item” page. If you have details of a specific article then you can type some of the citation information into the Article Finder form. As a minimum, you need to fill in the year, volume and issue and start page.
