Informit

By default, you will be searching the Informit Core, a consolidated multi-disciplinary database consisting of 10 individual collections, concurrently through the Informit Search or Advanced Search on the Informit platform.

These two interfaces enable cross-searching of all active databases across a wide range of subjects, including Australasian political, economic, legal, social, family, health, technical, First Nations, and cultural studies. You can limit your searches to full-text, peer-reviewed titles, and then filter them by resource types: video and sound, journal, report, book, conference, and conference proceedings.

Both search interfaces are useful for comprehensive searches to maximize the number of potential results if you are unsure which Informit database is most relevant to your subject area.
