    Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".

    Loved that showing this to my students meant I could show them that their small town of Kyabram is mentioned in National Library sources.

    The Conversation is an independent source of information, analysis and commentary from the university and research sector. The articles are well balanced, edgy and very well written.

    I love this publication too! It covers so many international stories and issues that don't make it into mainstream news. Thanks for sharing the link to this site Cheryl. I've marked your Diigo assignment as complete on Lore.
