Family law

Databases

Selected databases for locating family law research are listed below.  To find relevant journal articles you may need to search one or more databases. Some of these databases provide full-text access to journal articles while others provide an index of the available literature.

To select the appropriate database or index you should consider the jurisdiction and the topic, for example, if you are only looking for Australian articles you will return more specific results when you search an Australian database.

Please remember that journal articles are NOT found in the ANU Library catalogue.
