Ki te Ao Marama, Ki te Ao Matauranga: Into the world of light, into the world of information

Abstract

As the largest provider of university education to Maori, Massey was challenged in 2003 by the newly appointed Assistant Vice Chancellor (Maori), Professor Mason Durie to become a university where Maori language and culture flourishes, aplace where Maori students are likely, a university where Maori will obtain relevant higher degrees, a university which has the teaching and research capacity to make a substantial contribution to Maori development and a university that provides academic leadership for Maori development. This paper focuses on the development of Maori services at Massey University Library to meet these challenges.
