What is info2go?
The Palmerston North City Library subscribes to many pay-to-access online databases, which can be freely used by anyone inside our Libraries.
Info2go is the service Library members can use to access most of these online databases for free from their homes (or on any internet-connected computer in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week).
This means you no longer have to be in the Library to have access to magazines, reference books and other high quality resources.
Note: For licensing reasons, only current members of Palmerston North City Library can use the info2go service (some exclusions apply).
The info2go databases:
Subjects covered by the info2go databases include: health, sciences, business, arts, music, women's issues, biographies, literature and novels, world history, cultures, food, sports, international and local information, current events, and much more.

To find out what the databases are look at the list of eResources. The online databases you can use from home are marked with the info2go logo.
