Services for the Public

The Law Library, as part of the University of Melbourne Library, welcomes visitors to use its facilities. Visitors may use books and some databases via the public access computers in the library.

The University of Melbourne Library offers free community memberships to borrow physical items like print books from the library. More information can be found on the Community Members page.

Access to Library Search

Library Search is freely available at the Library website.

Visitors can also access Library Search by using the public access computers, which are available on Level 3. The catalogue contains records of all items held within the University of Melbourne Library system. The location of the items should be noted when searching Library Search. Items in the Law Library have the prefix UniM Law.

Access to computers

Public access to a range of legal research databases is available via the public access computers on Level 3. Please note that due to the licence agreements entered into with publishers, some databases are only accessible to current University of Melbourne students and staff.
