Try:

Hi Max, thanks for your response, I want to be able to get the document library by its URL not by its name, as I will have multi lingual site, so the Documents will not work in all languages, I need a way to make this: SPWeb.GetList("/lists/mylist"), but this method works on lists only. Thanks Commented Jun 16, 2013 at 12:29

You have to know the name apparently - by url it somehow does not work. Commented Jun 16, 2013 at 15:57

But it's weird there is an API to retrieve it for lists by URL but it doesn't work for libraries? that's strange! Commented Jun 16, 2013 at 16:32
