There are many Theological Libraries across the country whose resources you may be able to use. The list below shows membership information, contact details and the home delivery service status of libraries in major centers across Aotearoa.
When certain events (eg: doing a pre-enrolment PhD proposal) prevent you from accessing library material, here are some useful resources that provide legitimate access to digitized texts.
Unpaywall has a browser extension for Google Chrome which will find any open access/free versions of an article.
When you go onto a journal article which is behind a paywall, it will inform you if there is an open version somewhere else.
This will be very helpful for those who have graduated but want to continue to study, or those who are prepping for their PHD proposal.
An institutional repository is a platform where academic institutions archive and disseminate their research outputs. They are a treasure trove of theses, journal articles and book chapters, and are often Open Access.
