Collections

Off-Campus Storage houses less frequently used books, serials and other items. There are two main collections:

• The Serials Collection. This is alphabetically ordered from A to Z.
• The Monograph collection. This is arranged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system from 000 to 999.

Off-Campus Storage also houses smaller collections from the University of Auckland Libraries, which cannot be shelved within the main Serial or Dewey sequences. This includes theses and research essays.

Off-Campus Storage is located in the Bindery Building at 82 Merton Road, Glen Innes. This is on Merton Road, opposite the Tamaki Campus.
