Publication profiles have been created for a large number of DEST publications from 2002 to 2007, and present DEEWR publications. These profiles are web pages which provide information about publications such as: title, description, author, publication type, date published, topics covered and format(s) available. Where appropriate, an abstract is also provided. Over time, the number of profiles will increase and become more comprehensive with the addition of pre-2002 publications.
If you know the title of a publication, use the Publications A to Z list.
If you are not sure of the publication’s title, use the Publications Search to search by keywords, author, year published, publication type or topics.
Please note: Not all publications published before 2002 will be found through the publications A to Z list or the publication search. To locate pre-2002 publications there are two additional search options, namely the Advanced Search or the Archive Search.
- have searched our Publications A to Z and been unsuccessful in locating the publication you are seeking;
- have any difficulties in accessing the information provided in the on-line document; or
- need further assistance with alternative formats.
Please send an email to publications@deewr.gov.au. Any specific detail you may be able to include in your email ... such as title, author, date of release etc will be appreciated and assist us to help you.
