It comprises over 1750 journal titles in the areas of business, education, general reference, health, science and more. Australian journal content is duplicated in ANZ Reference Center. It also has selected reference books, biographies and images, including maps and flags.MasterFILE Premier is one of our Gulliver core databases and is good as an all round resource for students, with content relevant to the general public as well.
