Due to a platform upgrade at the end of 2023, there is a two-step process to access i-law resources. You need to login twice (first with UniMelb login, then i-law login) and then navigate (via the menu on the left-hand side) to the resources:

Go to i-law via the Library Catalogue, then click link to go to i-law
Once in i-law, login with an i-law registered account
- If you previously had an i-law login you need to reset your password (when logging in to i-law).
- If you don't have an i-law login you need to register for an i-law account for an account (use your @student.unimelb.edu.au or @unimelb.edu.au email address).

Login issues: close the i-law tab, delete your browser cookies and clear your cache. Try logging in as above. If you still cannot login, email law-librarians@unimelb.edu.au.

NOTE: The library is working with the vendor to try to provide direct link access to individual titles.
