Using the library catalogue and clicking on resources students are able to access a comprehensive database called EPIC (see below).
EPIC [electronic purchasing in collaboration] is a venture between the NZ libraries and the ministry of education to purchase access to NZ and international databases : EBSCO, Gale cengage, Oxford online, Pro-Quest and Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Students should use this resource to help find researched base information; they are able to access up-to-date full text articles covering a huge range of subjects. Thousands of international magazines, newspapers and biographies can also be searched on this site.
Another excellent area within EPIC is BOOKS & AUTHORS. Through this you can search and brouse by genre, author, age group, period or theme. This section covers adult and children's fiction, and some non-fiction books. To access EPIC click here.

It took a while but I figured out which email address I was using for Google so I'm back in again. Love the clipart picture Nick. Wish I had that one when I was making up library signs. :-)
