More microfilm available: level 3 reading room
Are you frustrated at having to order microfilm from the repository?
Good news! Much more film is on the shelves leading into the reading room at the back of level 3.
Most of the titles are newspapers:
- the major Australian dailies such as the Australian, Australian Financial Review and West Australian
- The New Zealand Herald
- Queensland titles including 21 titles for the Burnett region.
How to find out what is now available in the reading room.
Check the cataloguehttp://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/ There is an option to use the previous catalogue if you are more comfortable with it.
Use the name of the town or region, 'newspapers' and 'microform'. If you search for 'Burnett' without adding 'newspapers' and 'microform' you will get 976 titles instead of the 21 newspaper titles.
If the location code is MFS/B the microfilm is on the newly available shelving as you walk into the reading room.
If the location code is MFS the microfim is inside the reading room.
We also have booklets in the reading room listing newspapers by title and newspapers by place.
The newspapers extend beyond the Trove cutoff date of 1954, in hard copy if not on film.
There is of course much, much more available......
