What do I get?

Being the oldest established Catholic Library in New Zealand, the historical depth of collections is a particular feature.  The Library has historical and current collection strengths in Catholic theology, canon law, spirituality, philosophy and Biblical studies.  There is a full range of ebooks and periodicals in these subject areas.

How do I discover these resources?The online catalogue is searchable by anyone using a range of devices. Access to ebooks requires a member login – ebooks are also searchable from the e-resources link.  There are 10,000 ebooks available and more than 60,000 print books. 9,000 of the ebooks come from a Religion collection to which SCD subscribes.  Here is a list of the purchased ebooks grouped by subject.
