] School Services are a business unit of the National Library of New Zealand (Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa). They provide curriculum and advisory services to support New Zealand schools.

Curriculum Information Service (CIS)

The CIS lends items from its Schools Collection to enhance the teaching and learning in New Zealand schools. Every teacher in a New Zealand school is able to access and borrow from over 500,000 items that comprise the Schools Collection. The collection holds a unique range of New Zealand and international curriculum resources including books, CDs, and DVDs.

The CIS issues nearly 1.5 million resources each year, and is currently used by over 98% of New Zealand schools. CIS staff are trained to advise and assist teachers on appropriate resources and also select and send items in response to teachers topic requests.

Teachers are able to visit their nearest CIS centre to select resources. The centres are: Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch. These centres provide walk in and distance services for teachers via free fax, phone, email, postal and an online request form.
