Access to additional electronic resources:

Access to many of the electronic resources provided by UQ Library is restricted to currently enrolled UQ students and staff. There are some electronic resources accessible to any individual within the library, without the need for membership, however there is no off-site access to these resources for alumni or community. Anyone is welcome to visit any of our branches and use our on-site collections.

Public libraries may have electronic resources that are available to the general public, and the State Library of Queensland provides accessto a large number of authoritative eresources; all of these can be accessed at State Library and most are also accessible 24/7 to those with SLQ membership or a Queensland Public Library (QPL) account. The National Library of Australia also makes some licenced databases available via its eResources page.

You may also wish to review the free electronic resources available through the Internet Public Library, the Directory of Open Access Journals and the Directory of Open Access Books.
