The comprehensive database that houses bibliographic information about Australian Literature, AustLit, has recently announced that it has reached a milestone: one million records have now been inputted into its system.
Since its inception in 2001, and in collaboration with the University of Queensland and a team of academics, librarians, indexers and researchers, AustLit has expanded its reach exponentially. On average, over 600 work records are added to the database weekly.
