Services for students

Borrowing between Unitec and MIT

Students and staff from Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) and Unitec may borrow library materials from each other's collections. This service allows students and staff from both polytechnics to borrow from a far greater range of material, under a reciprocal borrowing agreement.

Borrowing from other libraries is a privilege. By requesting this service, you are indicating your willingness to abide by the rules and borrowing policies of the library that is providing this service.

Please see the Borrowing between Libraries brochure for more information.
