For Māori articles we recommend starting with Index New Zealand or Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre, but you may also want to look in the international databases, such as ERIC, PsychInfo, or Education Research Complete.

If you are doing a keyword search to find articles on a topic, pop in Zealand as a keyword along with your topic keywords. Other relevant keywords are Māori, indigenous, or native. Remember that some of the international databases, such as ERIC may need the American spelling or term to understand your search. You can use truncation to cover both spelling options, ie. labo*r, will get you results for labour and labor. If you need help, just ask a librarian.

Tutorial (online) on finding articles. We also hold regular classes on database searching, contact us, or book yourself in (via library homepage, tutorials (on right-hand side).
