Notice of Change to Stuff Ltd. Titles on PressReader

Changes are coming in the digital distribution of content provided by Stuff Ltd, “Stuff”, in New Zealand libraries. Starting on November 1st 2019, Stuff content will no longer be available to users through the PressReader app across all platforms.

However, PressReader has worked with Stuff to ensure that patrons can continue to access Stuff titles throughout UC Library.

Stuff content is fully accessible to patrons through the PressReader website (www.pressreader.com). As long as patrons are authenticated, they can access Stuff titles on both library and personal computers.

Patrons can get access by authenticating in a few different ways:

  • Connecting to the Wi-Fi HotSpot within the library
  • Logging in to the library website.

This change reflects the publisher’s wish to maintain ownership of their titles while keeping them freely available to library patrons.

Below is a list of the Stuff titles that are affected:

Sunday Star Times

Sunday News

Southland Times (Weekday & Weekend Editions)

Waikato Times (Weekday & Weekend Editions)

Dominion Post (Weekday & Weekend Editions)

We apologise for any inconvenience. The PressReader team is always working hard to bring libraries and their patron’s access to the world’s most premium, trusted titles – and expect to launch many more in the coming months.
