How to find
journal articles and other references
Individual journal articles are not usually listed in
the library catalogue.
Indexing and abstracting databases list articles under various
topics and can be searched using subject and
keyword. These databases can be searched via the www in
the Library, student computer facilities in the library or
faculty, or from home.
Journal articles may also be found by using printed
bibliographies.
The view from Australia:
For a thorough search for journal articles on a specific topic,
from the most recent backwards, go through the following reference
tools in the order given:
1.
APA-FT Australian public affairs - full text
Citations 1978- and full text for selected articles
1995-
2. Reference Collection 994.0016 AI38
Index to journal articles on Australian history for
1974-1988
3. Reference Collection 994.0016 I38
Index to journal articles on Australian history, comp.T.
Hogan.1976? Covers to 1973.
4. Reference Collection 994.005 A93
Australian public affairs information service (APAIS) no.1
1945-
Great for older, contemporary articles from the 1940's to
the 1970's across many topics.
These other Australian databases may also be useful:
ATI (Australian Tourism Index)
AUSPORT (Australian Sport Database)
FAMILY (Australian Family & Society Abstracts)
MAIS (Multicultural Australia and Immigration
Studies)
AustLit : the Australian literature gateway
Reference Collection 994.0016 C761
Contemporary Australian issues. 1993-94
A collection of bibliographies covering topics such as
Racism & the immigration debate, Women in the Church,
Australia's role in the Asia-Pacific region, Foreign aid,
etc. etc.
The International view:
These databases index journals from overseas and also some
Australian journals.
Academic Onefile
1980-
an interdisciplinary index covering approximately 8000
current journals, many of which have full text on-line.
Academic Search Premier 1985-
Full text for more than 4000 of the 8000 scholarly journals..
Project Muse gives
full text access to University Press and other
scholarly electronic journals in the social sciences, humanities
etc since the mid 1990's.
Historical abstracts (does not include
USA)
Periodicals index online (PIO) This database indexes millions of articles published in the arts, humanities and social sciences, across the social sciences and humanities. Links to full text in PAO .
Periodicals archive online (PAO)
A full text searchable archive of hundreds of digitised journals published in the arts, humanities and social sciences. Fewer titles than in PIO but more advanced search options available.
JSTOR is a full text searchable library of scholarly journals (mainly in the social sciences and humanities)
which contains full content of selected journals from their first
issue up to 3-5 years ago. International but soemAustrlaian
coverage. Searches can be limited to time periods to find
contemporary sources and comment on issues.
Finding reviews of Australian books.
Australian book reviews are difficult to locate because APAIS specifically excludes them.
However, the odd one occasionally slips through, so have a go anyway.
Some recent ones can be found via:
Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre
Reference collection 011.05 I379
Index to Australian book reviews. 1965-1981
Reference collection 994.0016 I38
Index to journal articles on Australian history: to 1973, 1974-1988
Has a book reviews section at the end of each volume.
Reference collection 05 A926.2

PARLIAMENTARY PUBLICATIONS
The library has a guide entitled Parliamentary publications
in the Barr Smith Library.
There is lots of useful information in the Australian section of
our guide, including call numbers for finding the debates etc in
the 320's on level 1 of the library.
Parliamentary debates (Hansard) record what was actually said in
Parliament, and as such are a rich source for historical research.
Parliamentary papers publish reports that are tabled in Parliament.
These can be individual reports on an issue or the annual reports
of state or commonwealth officials or departments. There are
indexes for each parliamentary session either at the beginning or
the end of the volumes and there are also separately published
indexes listed in the booklet which are shelved in the Reference
Collection.
Parliament of Australia is on
the www and you can search the
debates in the House of Representatives (Hansard) 2005 to
1981 and of the Senate
1981-2005.
