School, tertiary or local public libraries
are often the best place to start your research.
The Australian
Libraries Gateway provides easy access to contact
details, websites and catalogues of all the libraries
in your local area as well as around the country.
If your
local public library does not have the resources to help
you, they may be able to borrow material from other libraries
for you.
In New
South Wales, the State Library of New South Wales maintains
a list of internet
links. Here you will find links to subject-arranged
reference sites selected by reference staff to assist
you in finding quality information sources on the Internet.
The Federal Court of Australia maintains
a Legal Research Links
page that is also subject arranged and specialises in
legal subjects.
If you have been unable to find the
information you need in the above resources, you can email
Federal Court of Australia library staff to get guidance
on where legal research material can be found on the Internet.
Please refer to the 'Ask
a question' page for more information about asking
the Court for help with assignments.
