After months of preparation the Bar Library has switched service providers for its Library and Research Management Systems. Members will notice slightly different functionalities and resource locations on the Bar Library website and catalogue. We are hopeful that the process will go smoothly but do anticipate some transitionary hurdles and we ask that you please bear with us should any technical difficulties arise. The end result should be improved service for all but should you experience anything out of the ordinary please let us know at library@nswbar.asn.au.

We will also be available to demonstrate the new website for members and Chambers staff when visiting the Library or by appointment – again contact us at library@nswbar.asn.au but please be aware that initial demand may be high and there may be a waiting period for appointments.

For all other reference and research requests please continue to use libref@nswbar.asn.au.
