The ARROW Discovery Service, provided by the National Library of Australia, allows for searching Australia’s research repositories. Records are harvested from the the hosting repositories via the Open Archives Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). Each record found through this service will link back to a record in the original repository. The contents of the ARROW Discovery Service are also indexed by Google.
The service also searches several other collections of Australian research, including Australian Policy Online, and Australasian Digital Theses Program.
Find all of the works by a researcher (even if they have moved universities), or a topic of research (from its beginnings to the current day), or the combined output of a consortium of universities. Search by region or campus, or type of content.
The research itself may be in any form - published or unpublished; text, image or dataset; historical or current. The ARROW project is keen to include as many sources of Australian research as possible. Guidelines for the contribution of records are available in the ARROW Discovery Service Harvesting Guide. Please contact ARROW Project Manager for further information.
