Have you joined the National Library yet?

From the NLA website: There are approximately 10 million items in the National Library of Australia's collection. The Library collects books, journals, newspapers, music scores, maps, e-resources, websites, manuscripts (personal papers and organisational archives), documentary pictures, oral history and folklore recordings. ...

The Library digitises selected items in its collections to make our collections more accessible, engage with new audiences and preserve rare and fragile materials. ...

The Library is also digitising historic Australian newspapers and as at June 2015 over 17 million digitised pages, or 170 million articles, were freely available to the public through Trove.

The Library collects online publications and websites through its curated PANDORA web archive and has also undertaken large scale harvests of the Australian web domain.

In June 2015, the total size of the Library’s digital collections exceeded 3.8 petabytes, containing over 9 billion files.

On the homepage of the NLA's website you'll see a summary table of the services/resources that they offer, as well as links to other helpful items. Trove is a fantastic resource and well worth investigating when conducting research - it offers access to a massive amount of information. Equally useful and fantastic is the eResources collection - and that's where having the NLA membership (and card) becomes very important.

How to apply for an NLA library card

Simply click on the image above and it will take you the "Get a library card" page on the NLA's website. Ensure that you fill in all your details as requested - making sure that all the * items are complete. Boarders, please put the Boarding House as your address. Any International students who are living in Home Stay, please put that address where it asks for a residential address.

NB. please select the "Post it" option at the end, unless you are going to be swinging through Canberra in the next couple of weeks and can actually pick up your library card in person.

Finally, once you get your card, you are welcome to email Miss Phillips your user ID number and she will keep a record so that if you lose your card she can help you recover it.
