You may be familiar with the Informit Indigenous Collection, an important database centring on (but not limited to) Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Pacific regions.
Now, we also have access to the other nine (9) full-text collections that, together, are known as the Informit Core Collection. This new access is due to a technical reconfiguration on the part of Informit. They no longer restrict subscriptions to just one collection (ie. the Indigenous Collection), so for now, they have granted subscribers gratis access to their entire database, ten (10) collections in total.
These collections are wide-ranging and touch on education, law, humanities and social sciences, business and finance, engineering, child development and social work, health, literature, and culture.
The asset for the Informit Indigenous Collection remains. We’ve also added an asset for the Informit Core Collection. Within Informit Core, it’s very easy to select specific collections — from the database landing page, just click “View All Databases.” We will not be adding additional Informit assets.
We’ll have access to Informit Core Collection for about two years, at which time we will assess whether it’s been relevant for the campus community.
