Informaworld is a one-stop site hosting the full text of more than 1000 eJournals published by Taylor & Francis, Routledge, Psychology Press, Lawrence Erlbaum, Haworth Press, and Multilingual Matters, as well as citations from hundreds of other journals.

Prior to May 2009, CSU Library had access to only the full-text of the Routledge collection of education journals, but now has access to a much wider collection of journals covering a range of subject areas.

Subject strengths of the collection include:

One of the benefits of Informaworld to CSU users is that it closes the “embargo” gap for a large number of eJournals already available via EBSCOhost: that is, it provides the full-text of recent issues of journals which are not available (for the most recent 12 months) in EBSCOhost.

The collection works like a database and offers a range of browse, search, and saved search options.

A standard search will return results that are both citation-only and full-text. SFX links are NOT available in this database, but users can limit their searches to (predominantly) full-text results by ticking the “My subscriptions only” box.

A+ Education is an indexing and full text database that provides access to the scanned images of journal articles from published material on all aspects of education.

Of the 700+ journals indexed in AEI, there are 200+ comprehensively indexed journals and it is from these that the full-text articles in A+ Education are mainly sourced.

Other source documents include monographs, research reports, theses, conference papers, legislation, parliamentary debates, newspaper articles, and Internet material. Articles and reports by Australian authors or about Australian education published in overseas sources are also included.

Subject coverage includes curriculum, educational research, information science, librarianship, management, policy administration, psychology, sociology, teaching and training.
