AFTRS Library Databases
The AFTRS Library gives AFTRS staff and students free access to a number of different research databases. These hold a collection of information, either focused on one subject or multidisciplinary. Databases should be used to find authoritative journal articles for your assignments.
They can include, Journals, Newspapers, Magazines, Reports, Newsletters, and eBooks.
Journal Articles
Journal articles are shorter than books and written about very specific topics. A journal is a collection of articles (like a magazine) that is published regularly throughout the year. Journals present the most recent research, and journal articles are written by experts
