Collections 11: Magazines for school libraries

Magazines form a popular part of the collection in most New Zealand school libraries. Here we’ve collated a list of magazines suitable for inclusion in your library collection, a mix of print and online versions, together with a list of suppliers.

Introduction to the Magazines list

As there are numerous choices available, especially in the lifestyle, leisure and sports areas, some well known titles like Crème, Girlfriend, N.Z Woman’s Weekly, North and South, Pulp, Netball, Rugby, Speed Sports (& other familiar titles) are omitted. Titles that may not be as freely available or well-known have been included.

Magazines more suitable for secondary libraries have an asterisk * beside the title.

In most cases, subscriptions can be made via the link next to the magazine title. Otherwise, included alternative links to online suppliers below the subscription price, where these are available. We’ve included cover prices along with subscription prices wherever they could be verified.

Titles listed are not recommendations but are given to indicate the range that is available. We always welcome recommendations for new titles that aren’t yet on this list - just notify us via 0800 LIBLINE.

All magazine details were checked and web links accessed during August 2012. However, the Internet is a dynamic and fast-changing environment, and websites can and do change without notice. Subscription prices may also change without notice.
