Update on Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet

Dear All,

For those of you who aren't aware, Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet is an online portal which connects you to a range of scholarly sources about Indigenous Australians.

It is marketed as a 'one-stop info-shop' that aims to contribute to 'closing the gap' in health between Indigenous and other Australians by informing practice and policy in Indigenous health by making research and other knowledge readily accessible.

To maximise full text access to items, search Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet via the Library's Databases and Electronic Resources Page (browse the alphabetical listings 'A' or 'I'). Searching via the library website takes advantage of our electronic subscriptions.

Cheers,
Kate
