Federal Court of Australia

Changed library access arrangements (Q5/04)

Arrangements concerning access by practitioners and litigants to the library of the Federal Court at Brisbane will change as from Monday 20 September 2004. From that date, physical access to the library will not be available to external users and the following will apply -

• Practitioners and litigants may access the library catalogue and a database of the Court's judgments at the registry counter at Level 6 of the Commonwealth Law Courts. A computer terminal will be located there for search purposes.
• A telephone will also be available at that location for use by practitioners and litigants to enable them to request material from library staff. Material that may be requested will be limited to bound volumes and does not extend to loose leaf services, parts and pamphlets. Items requested will be delivered from the library to the registry counter and may be taken to Court. That service will be available from 9.30 am to 12.45 pm and from 2.15 pm to 4.15 pm Monday to Friday. Books must be returned to the registry counter at the end of each day.
• Photocopying facilities will be provided at the registry counter.
• Material may be brought from the library to the Court at the direction of a judge.
