Informit Indexes

Australian Public Affairs Information Service (APAIS), produced by the National Library of Australia, is a bibliographic database that indexes articles from published material on the social sciences and humanities from 1978 onwards.

Source documents include a wide range of periodicals, newspapers, scholarly journals, conference papers and books.

APAIS also contains 5,000+ web links to content.

Subject coverage includes current affairs, economics, humanities, law, literature, politics and social sciences.

APAIS comprehensively indexes approximately 250 journals. Overseas sources are also scanned for material on Australian subject matter. APAIS also indexes very selectively from many other Australian journals and conference proceedings, as well as from overseas journals carrying articles with an Australian content.
