AustLit relies on income from subscriptions paid by research and education institutions, and libraries. Without this income, AustLit would cease to operate.
Please support AustLit by asking your library to subscribe.
AustLit is available to patrons of subscribing libraries, educational institutions, other organisations, and individuals. Currently, all registered users of subscribing libraries or institutions have full access to AustLit for personal research only. This means personal subscriptions must not be used by teachers to prepare for teaching Australian texts. Schools are encouraged to subscribe to AustLit so that their teachers, students, and teacher librarians have access to the best resource for Australian literary studies available.
Registered users of almost all Australian universities, the National Library of Australia, most Australian state libraries and a number of local council libraries around the country have access.
Visit the website or catalogue of your local, state or territory library or of the National Library of Australia, and use your library membership details to access AustLit. Access by users of subscribing libraries and other organisations must comply with the terms and conditions specified by the subscribing library.
At universities around Australia, access is usually provided through the catalogue of your subscribing library or by IP address recognition if you access AustLit on-site. Search for 'AustLit' in your university library catalogue and you will find details about how to gain access.
Please contact us for details of access. Schools can also take out a subscription to enable full school-wide access both on- and off-site, via URL referral and/or IP recognition.
We offer very generous discounts to consortia arrangements for schools associations or collectives.
Check with your local library to see if they subscribe. Why not suggest they do so if they don't currently make it available?
