How to find publications in the Library
Catalogue
The catalogue is available here. Most of the material
in the library has been catalogued. Some country statistical material is still to be catalogued.
Through the catalogue you can:
Search
Author - eg Caldwell, J
Title - enter part of the title. You can enter part of the title but the words must be consecutive.
Keyword or subject search
Type one or
more keywords with a space between each word. This will seach for
'keyword1' AND 'keyword2' etc., but will not search 'keyword1' OR
'keyword2'. For example if you type 'Australia migration' you will
get all items that have both Australia AND migration as thier subject.
To view keywords
and subject terms go to the THESAURUS
