Interested in the Internet?
If you are a new user of the Internet or about to embark on this "lawless" journey, you may find helpful a list of Internet addresses the library has put together to get you started. The listing includes a number of legal, government and miscellaneous sites.
Library staff will be happy to send you a copy at no charge when you ring the library for assistance. Simply ask. Alternatively you may collect a copy from the library on your next visit.
In the interest of making copies more widely accessible, the library operates a mail subscription service for the following popular unreported judg¬ments:
Transport Accident Commission judgments
This service has been operating for the past year and offers both current and backcopy judgments involving the Transport Accident Commission and s93 (actions for damages) of the Transport Accident Act 1986. Please contact the library for further details. County Court WorkCover judg
ments
The library offers a similar mail subs¬cription service to the County Court of Victoria WorkCover decisions. Please contact the library for further details.

This extends the library's previous closing time by two hours, providing practitioners with further access to the library's resources and services. The phone in¬quiry service will continue to operate until 8pm on these evenings to ensure our country and suburban members are also able to make use of the extended hours.
