Policy for the consumption of food and drink by visitors in the reading rooms and other public areas of the Library.

The library and information community has adopted a range of standards that facilitate the interchange of library data, promote the inter-operability of library systems, and support the operation of national and international networks of libraries.

The Privacy (Australian Government Agencies - Governance) APP Code 2017 (Cth) requires that all agencies must conduct a Privacy Impact Assessment for all high privacy risk projects.

While continuing our onsite excellence, we will accelerate opening up the Library’s collections and experiences to a dispersed and diverse Australian community.

The National Library of Australia lends works from its collections to other libraries and to museums, galleries and other collecting institutions for the purpose of exhibition. The Library is also a borrower of works from individuals and institutions for the purpose of exhibition.

This policy covers the principles associated with the development of exhibitions and displays within the library building, as well as the Library's approach to travelling exhibitions.

The Library provides interlibrary loan and document delivery services to libraries, organisations and individuals in Australia and overseas.

The aim of this policy is to provide a clear framework to effectively manage the deaccessioning and disposal of collection material and the disposal of material not selected for the collection.

We recognise that public sector information should be treated as a national resource. In support of this principle, this page assists you to better understand how we make decisions and administer programs.
