Literature Information Service for Australian Rural & Remote Health
The Monash University School of Rural Health has created an information service called LISARRH (Literature Information Service for Australian Rural & Remote Health). The aim of the service is to provide information to rural health workers and researchers throughout Australia.
The Collection
The Collection includes over 4000 rural health literature resources, both Australian and International, in the form of conference proceedings, reports, articles, papers, journal articles, etc. This includes those articles used to create the Rural Health Bibliography Series (see SRH Publications below)
Publications published by SRH - some which are not listed in The Collection -
including Rural Health Bibliographies published by both the SRH and the former
Australian Rural Health Research Institute (ARHRI) are listed below. Some of
these
can
be purchased in hardcopy, some read on-line and some can be sent electronically.
