I was going to write about paradigms for this post but when I read about this on the National Library of Australia newletter. National Library member can now access Australian Book Review Online for free! Membership to the library is free so this is a great bonus.
A description from the website:
Australian Book Review (ABR) is Australia's oldest literary review. Created in 1961, it publishes reviews, essays, commentaries and creative writing. It has a national scope and is committed to highlighting the full range of critical and creative writing from around Australia. ABR Online can be read on any device with web-browsing capabilities, including desktop computers, laptops, iPads, tablets and smart phones. It offers full access to digital content, including back issues, extended information on contributors and an index that currently covers issues back to 2000. Selective coverage of articles back to 1994/95 is available in APAFT. Indexes for older issues can be found in the print version of ABR, and it is also indexed in AustLit and APAIS. (ABR, 2012)
This is a great resource for librarians to use to select items for their collection. You can search directly for a particularly resource, or browse topic categories or the A-Z resource list. While browsing I found things such as the Australian Dress Register (an online project about dress in NSW pre-1945), and the Atlas of Living Australia (providing info on Australia's biodiversity). You can access newspaper achives and geneology databases, as well as Ebsco and Informit databases.
Happy searching!
