Law

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)

Onsite access at the State Library
The State Library also provides access to a range of onsite law databases. Onsite access is easy - visit the State Library of Queensland and connect using one of the onsite computers. You may also be able to access these databases using the library's wireless service.


Click the Connect button beside the database to begin searching. You will be asked to login using your e-services card or QPL account. Terms and conditions apply.
