Using the South Bank collections
Items in the State Library of Queensland's South Bank collections can be located in several ways:
State Library South Bank Collections catalogue
Use this catalogue to find published books, magazines, newspapers, music, maps, DVDs, microfilms and microfiche. This catalogue also includes Queensland history materials which are held in the John Oxley Library.
Queensland Digital Library catalogue
Use this catalogue to search our digitised collections including photographs, sheet music, manuscripts and digital movies, and guides to other unpublished materials.
Indexes and databases
The State Library offers indexes and databases to help you find articles in newspapers and journals. The catalogue also provides links to some online journals and electronic publications.
Please ask us for help finding material such as ephemera (eg exhibition programs), original art works, oral histories, archival material, and photographs and sheet music awaiting cataloguing.
Requesting material
Some South Bank collections are housed in staff-only areas. We will retrieve the items you wish to use.
You can request material from the collections using our catalogues. Items will be brought to delivery points on Levels 3 and 4 of the State Library's South Bank building, depending on the type of material requested.
If you have an e-services card, you can request some South Bank collections material from home. You may also use our Telephone Reference Service (+61 7 38407810) to request items in advance of your visit. When you place an order, check the catalogue for delivery times and pick-up location. Note that material must be used within the State Library premises at South Bank.
