E D ITO R ' S N OTE Tēnā koutou, readers.

Habits are funny things. They attach themselves to us as we go about our lives until, possibly years later, we suddenly catch sight of one in the mirror and stop to exclaim "Excuse me sir! When did you get on?!"

Most of us have picked up very specific reading habits over time, and it can take an effort to see what they're up to. Why not try reading, listening to or watching something different this month?

On the other hand, sometimes indulging a friendly habit can be exactly what we need. Happy browsing!

NEWSPAPER ARCHIVE With the temporary closure of the Central Library building, one ī collection currently relegated to storage is our archive of Upper Hutt's longest running newspaper: the Upper Hutt Leader.

But did you know that we have digitised issues, from 1939 to 1964, for you to browse, read and search online? Whether you are looking for something or someone specific - wondering if grandpop ever got up to mischief in town; why not do a search for his name? - or if you just want to have a browse and check on the noteworthy news of the day while admiring the type-setting, this archive is free and easy to access.

Just visit our website: upperhuttlibrary.co.nz And navigate to Digital Services > Databases > Upper Hutt Newspaper Archive.

And while you're on the Library website, have a look at the many other digital databases, eBook, magazine and audiobook services that we provide

LIBR A RY CLOSUR E: C ENT R A L LIBR A RY UPDAT E

As planned, work on strengthening the Central Library building got under way at the start of August, so we're feeling positive about the planned completion date of late December 2018. In the meantime, don't forget to let people know that it's business as usual in the Pop-up Library - some of our users still haven't paid us a visit, and we've missed them

Our Library Catalogue has had a makeover! Not only is it looking new and shiny, your results are also easier to navigate by type, and you can see extra information, reviews and book suggestions after opening a title.

The catalogue homepage hasn’t changed much, but you will notice a difference after doing a search. Instead of seeing all of the print, digital and database subscriptions results coming up together – something that could be quite confusing, especially when you’re only looking for books to W W W. U P P E R H U T T L I B R A R Y. C O . N Z

issue – you will now see ‘tabs’ at the top of the page:

Tab 1: Search Results – The default tab displays our physical holdings and ebooks. Research Starters will also sometimes show up to let you know there might be more information available in our database subscriptions – for instance, try searching 'New Zealand'. Refine your results by using the limiters (format, author, subject, genre, etc.) to the left of the screen.

Tab 2: Upper Hutt e-Resources – Displays articles and images from our many database subscriptions. These results also have limiters to the left of the screen, as well as offering reading levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) which is helpful when searching for homework resources.

Tab 3: Encyclopedia Search – Results from Encyclopedia Britannica.

Tab 4: Newspapers Search – Articles from New Zealand newspapers.

Another new feature is the introduction of Syndetics Unbound. We already use Syndetics – they are the company that provide all our cover images – and they now also automatically supply you with handy extra information about titles and authors in the catalogue record.

To see this extra information, click on a title in your search results and scroll to the very bottom of the page that pops up. After giving it a little bit of time to load, it may display a summary, author information, other titles in the series, books you may also like (hover over these cover pictures to check availability), reviews, tags, reading level, and more! Syndetics will only supply information that is available for that particular title – so you will see more or less extra information depending on the title that you have selected.

GAIL MAIL Did you know that we sort Icelandic authors

by First Name, Last Name, instead of the other way round? This is because Icelandic surnames indicate the father or mother of the child and not the historic family lineage. For instance, if someone named

Arnar has a son, their son would be called Arnarsson. First names not previously used must be approved by the Icelandic Naming Committee, and the criterion for acceptance of names is whether or not they can be easily incorporated into the Icelandic language.

In Iceland, listings such as the telephone

The author Steinar Bragi's full name is Steinar Bragi Gudmundsson which we now know means that his father's name was Gudmund.

H E LEN S E RVI C E DE LIVE RY TE AM LE ADE R I have seen a lot of changes in libraries during my 45 year career and many of those changes are in writing styles and genres. My personal favourites are fast paced crime novels with well-defined characters. I also enjoy travel books and biographies.

appeal to women and male authors wrote for men. The top selling authors of the decade were the likes of Jacqueline Susann, Sidney Sheldon, Irwin Shaw, Harold Robbins, James A Michener and of course the perennial Agatha Christie and Jack Higgins.

It has been interesting to watch female writers becoming more prolific in the crime genre, and some are surprisingly graphic.

Martina Cole and Lynda La Plante are hard-hitting writers and are both particular favourites of mine.

Decades on some of these authors are still popular, and with new shows like Game of Thrones and plenty of gruesome forensic based writing readers are spoiled for choice.

When I was a young librarian in the late 1970’s I observed that most (not all mind!) female authors wrote books that would

Where better to get a taste of something new than our libraries - we are not here to judge or censor, but to provide you with a variety of old and new writing for you to enjoy and explore

I’m Chantel, the new Senior Librarian who looks after children and youth services here at the library.

A library lover since I was a wee thing, it was a no-brainer that when it came to a career I would end up sharing my love of libraries with the tamariki of Aotearoa.

My favourite genre of books is non-fiction, especially biographies.

I love learning about different people and the incredible things they do – true stories are often stranger than fiction.

I’m enjoying the Little People, BIG DREAM series right now. These books celebrate outstanding people in history who have made their mark on the world. My favourite is on Agatha Christie, also one of my favourite authors.

Speaking of people who have left their mark, did you know this month is the 125th anniversary of women getting the vote in New Zealand?

We are having a series of fun events to acknowledge amazing women past and present – I hope to see you there
