Offsite databases
Queenslanders have access to a number of authoritative, subscription-only databases that are not available through Google or other free search engines.
Offsite access
To access these databases away from the library - from any computer connected to the internet (eg home or office) - you must be a Queensland resident and:
- own a State Library e-services card (register for an e-services card allowing 5 days to receive your card);
OR - be a member of a Queensland public library with a QPL account (register for a QPL account - immediate access after email verification)
Select the subject category you require from the list below.
Choose the database you wish to search.
