Publications
To find Australian government publications you may need to consult
a range of sources:
- Govpubs: the Australian Government
Publications Guide, is a guide to selected types of Australian government
publications, such as Acts, Hansards, Gazettes and Parliamentary Papers,
located in Australia's National, State and Territory libraries or available on
the Internet.
- The National Library of Australia's
Catalogue lists the majority of
Australian government publications, both print and online.
- The Australian Government Information Management Office
(AGIMO) hosts a Publications
Register which provides an A-Z listing of Australian government agency
publication home pages.
- Libraries participating in the
Library
Deposit and Free Issues Scheme hold many Australian government
publications.
- If you have access to it, the Australian National
Bibliographic Database available through
Kinetica: Australia's Library
Network contains a comprehensive record of Australian government
publications, including data from the former Australian Government Index to
Publications (AGIP) database.
- The National Library's Recent
Australian Publications service provides a monthly list of new Australian
publications, derived from Kinetica.
The Official List of Government Publications, which was derived
from the AGIP database, ceased with the list of 19 May - 1 June 2001. From that
date the responsibility for recording information on the existence of
Commonwealth Government Publications moved from the Department of Finance and
Administration to the National Library of Australia.
The Australian Government Bookshop Network ceased operations on 17
October 2003. The most appropriate source of information about purchasing
Australian government publications is now AGIMO's
Publications Register, which
lists the publication contacts for each government agency and also indicates
whether the agency has an online bookshop.
