Jo, I have used the Ask a Librarian Service many a time and have had people use it from Canada and New Zealand and have never been charged... What did you ask for, did you try the link I sent for the form?

Jo, That is simply outrageous. Yes, I have used the NSW service for death notices, & have sometimes had no charge at all. You can try the QLD service, but pretty sure they will redirect you to NSW State Library. Cheers, Jules. Warren, NSW.

Hi Julie Yes I was stunned as well, I was told that the photcopies would charge $1 for each death notice (Daily Telegraph) and when I rang them they said there were fees for looking things up, postage, paper and all sorts of things. They based it on time or something as well. This was about 5 years ago and I became a member of Ryerson and became an indexer and until recently was able to look most things up at the Uni near my home but since then we have moved and all that has gone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "julie dern" <julie.dern@bigpond.com> To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 9:23 AM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] Death Notice Look UP > Jo, > > That is simply outrageous.
