InfoRMIT is an excellent resource for all Aboriginal and Indigenous topics, including health, law and justice, government policy, history, family literature and more. Most articles come with the full text. InfoRMIT is not currently on CIAP, but all residents of New South Wales can access it online for free from the State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW)  e-Resources site. Registration is required and can be done easily with your public library card number. If you don't have one, you can sign up to become a State Library member.

InfoRMIT search hints

• Search words are not case sensitive, but capitals are used when combining search words or phrase, such as
  • renal OR kidney
  • indigenous OR aborigin* OR koori
  • indigenous AND wom?n AND breastfeeding
• For phrases, use double quotes, such as
  • "first nations"
  • "quality of life"
  • "health promotion" AND "social media"
• Use asterisk * to include words with a common stem, such as
  • aborigin* will search for aborigine, aborigines, aboriginal, aboriginality at once
• Use the wildcard symbol ? to find represent any letter within a word, such as
  • wom?n will find woman and women at the same time
• Use the plus sign + next to the search box to add more lines to build your search

Example of a search which uses more than one box - each box contains OR words for your different concepts. The results of each box are finally combined with AND. This should give a fairly precise result. You can add as many boxes as you like.
