    Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is New Zealand's newest university and one of its most distinctive. Centred on students and grounded in knowledge that works, AUT is 5-star rated by QS, with more than 27,000 students and 4,000 staff based primarily across three Auckland campuses. It's a place of real opportunity, where the values of Pono, Tika and Aroha shape how talented, progressive people work together – and you'll feel that in the culture, in the collaboration and in the difference the work makes for students, communities and the world.

    Our community is stronger because of the role Te Tiriti plays in how we operate, and because Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership and contribution are central to who we are. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs.

    Te Mātāpuna Library and Learning Services is AUT's whare pukapuka (library) and knowledge source. Our name recognises the special connection AUT has to the underground waterways and rivers that flow through Tāmaki Makaurau. Our mātāpuna (campus libraries) and services are foundational for Knowledge That Works. Te Mātāpuna teams are knowledge connectors and amplifiers, navigators, partners and kaitiaki. We centre our work around principles of openness, inclusivity and equity. As active Tiriti partners, we embed AUT’s Tiriti framework throughout our services. Our teams’ partner with the AUT community to lift academic skills and provide access to knowledge. We create learning opportunities and resources to lift achievement, research visibility and impact and to support open research and Māori and indigenous data sovereignty.
