<\/a><\/p>\nMassey staff and students using BONUS+<\/a>, the resource-sharing project with selected Australian university libraries, have found it to be a critical tool in their research.<\/p>\n \u201cBONUS+ is an invaluable tool for those undertaking academic research and writing. It offers access to a wide and diverse range of publications not easily available through local channels. It is a fast and effective service which has never yet failed to deliver on what it said it could,” says Professor Glyn Harper, who regularly uses the service.<\/p>\n Postgraduate student Janet Newman agrees. “A lot of the reference books and poetry collections I need are available only on BONUS+. It is a great resource as it provides a comprehensive addition to Massey Library’s stock of books. So far I have been able to access every book I require using the Bonus+ service. The distance delivery time is quite quick.\u201d<\/p>\n The University of Sydney Library is the latest to join BONUS+ and open its book collection to Massey students and staff, along with thirteen other university libraries. Massey is the only New Zealand university with access, the others all being Australian.<\/p>\n The shared BONUS+ collection now contains almost eight million items that are freely available to the students and staff of Massey University.<\/p>\n There are two ways of searching for BONUS+ books. Either search the Massey Library Catalogue<\/a> first to see what we have available, then click on the BONUS+ button within the results to automatically replicate the same search in BONUS+. Alternatively, search the BONUS+ catalogue<\/a> directly. Then simply place a request as you would for a Massey Library book.<\/p>\n Further information is available on the BONUS+ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
