BONUS+ now gives you free access to books from eight major Australian University Libraries, with a ninth due to join up in August. That's 4.5 million books to choose from.

Try these searches to get an idea of the possibilities...

• 'facebook' in Massey's Encore catalogue gives 16 results (at the time of writing this)
• 'facebook' in BONUS+ gives 55 results (maybe more by the time you read this) - and you can request any of the available ones for free.

It's very easy to search BONUS+ from within Massey's catalogues. Just search Encore or our classic Library Catalogue as usual, then if the title or topic you want is not available – either because we don’t own it, or it is out on loan – click on the BONUS+ button on the same page to automatically search the shared Catalogue. Or alternatively, search the BONUS+ Catalogue directly for your title or topic.

Requested items usually arrive here in 7-10 days. Books are issued for 21 days, and may be renewed once if not required by another borrower. Staff and postgraduate students can have up to 10 BONUS+ items requested/issued at once, and undergraduate students up to 5 items.

Visit the Library Catalogue for more information on BONUS+ and how to use it.

You can now pay your fines online by credit card. We have recently added a secure Library Fines Payment Form to our website. The form will first ask you to login.

You can also pay fines in person, by phone, fax, email, post or online banking.

Or better still, avoid fines completely by returning or renewing your books before the due date. We even send you an email reminder a couple of days before they're due. You can keep an eye on when your books are due, and renew them on MyLibrary.
