Abstract

RMIT Publishing has been publishing Australian databases for over ten years. In recent years, some of these databases have been linked directly to the electronic full text they reference (journal articles etc.). In this way RMIT Publishing has gone beyond merely being a provider of indexes, to being an ePress of full text titles.

Currently in development, Informit Library is a full text database that has been designed specifically to provide access to a wide variety of Australian research content.

It builds on the substantial full text content that RMIT Publishing has available through its Informit service.
