This blog excerpt is a cross-post of a piece by writer and RMIT Publishing marketing assistant Amy Han on the Informit Literature and Culture collection. The full blog can be read at the SPUNC website.
“We’re very excited about the launch of the Informit Literature & Culture Collection, which will showcase the quality of Australian literary writing and publishing, and preserve the history that has been captured in issues past. Once complete, the Collection will span more than 70 years and contain over 1,800 issues and 30,000 individual items. Newly published issues will be added to the database as soon after publication as possible. Access to this Collection will be of great benefit to students and researchers of literature and poetry, arts and history and politics and public commentary as well as students of Australian studies including the historical and cultural aspects of Australian literature.”
