The ARROW Discovery Service provided by the National Library of Australia, allows you to search 278,412 Australian research outputs, including theses; preprints; postprints; journal articles; book chapters; music recordings and pictures, searching simultaneously across the contents of Australian university research repositories. The list of currently participating universities, and the number of outputs currently in each repository, is listed at the left of the home page. To view the most frequently accessed research items, and most popular creators, visit the Statistics page. Or to view the contents of an institution’s repository listed as a tag cloud, visit the Tag cloud page.
Currently, more than half of Australian universities have public research repositories, which can be simultaneously searched through this site. While the specific open access policies will vary between universities, these repositories offer a vehicle for researchers to make their work publicly available. Researchers deposit a digital copy of their work, along with some descriptive information, into the repository. Most of the items discoverable through the site will have a digital copy available, although some may not yet have a file attached, and others may have access restricted.
