Searching Indigenous Peoples Databases

The Indigenous Peoples Databases are a collection of bibliographic databases that provides access to a wide range of media from published and unpublished material on all aspects of Australian Indigenous and multicultural issues. Searching these databases will allow you to locate references to relevant information for your study. You will need to search the library's catalogue to see whether the references are held here.

You can do a multiple database search on Indigenous Peoples Databases by clicking here and scrolling down to the subject heading for "Indigenous Peoples Databases".

Indigenous Peoples Databases are broken up into subject defined subsets:

AEI-ATSIS (Education)

AGIS-ATSIS (Law)

AHB-ATSIS (Australian Heritage)

AIATSIS (Indigenous Studies)

Indigenous Australia

Informit e-Library (Australian and Asia-Pacific information )

APAIS-ATSIS (Public Affairs)

ATSIhealth (Health)

CINCH-ATSIS (Criminology)

FAMILY-ATSIS (Family/Society)

FNQ (Far North Qld Database)

The information which you will receive is a citation listing of journal articles, books, newspaper entries and conference proceedings dealing with the topic you have searched.

The most important information is:

• Title
• Author
• Source
• ISSN or ISBN

This will give you all the information required to find the article, either in this library's catalogue or through another library. Any publication held in the University of Sydney Library will have a "holdings attached" button. If you click on that it will take you to the catalogue entry on the library catalogue.

This is a very basic introduction to the resources for Aboriginal Studies in the Curriculum Resources Collection.
