Vast Active Library and Information Science blog. From a recent library science graduate in Wellington, New Zealand. A focus on reference and current awareness tools and issues, especially free, web-based resources.

 
From the Ministry for Culture and Heritage comes the October edition of Te Ara Hiko (The Digital Pathway), the newsletter of the online Encyclopedia of New Zealand.

The big news is that the Encyclopedia will be launched on 9 February next year with material from the first 'theme' - New Zealanders, telling the story of the different groups who have settled the country. The site will also feature a complete, searchable version of the 1966 Encyclopedia of New Zealand.

More on the Encyclopedia, which will take nine years to complete, here.
