Universities Australia
This is an excellent starting-point for searching for information on Australian universities. The Australian government directory: education also includes details of tertiary institutions (as well as secondary schools, English language centres, training and development and other education providers.) This site is new and the information that it provides is not comprehensive.
The State Library of South Australia has OZJAC ( a database which provides information on courses and careers in Australia).



Overseas institutions

Academics and professionals

Some guides in the University of Adelaide Library

Directories usually give minimal information about people, for example just their address or affiliation and an indication of research interests. For more complete biographical information, look in some Biographical dictionaries and indexes.

For published research, try also a search by author's name in the relevant subject database or journal index or search the Web for an academic's web page.
