The Victorian Local Government Minister Candy Broad recently launched an Australian first innovation entitled “Library Link”.
Library Link when fully functional, will allow users to search all Victorian public library catalogues and place an inter-library loan for any given item, all through the one portal interface. This gives any Victorian resident, access to over 10 million books and other items.
The Library Link project is a statewide extension of the Murray Link project, which has been operating in the north and west of the state for some time. At present the library services of Darebin, Boroondara, Casey and Cardinia are coming on board, with Port Phillip to follow soon and the rest of the state thereafter.
