YSA databases
Youth Monitor is a national roundup of press reports on youth issues.
Abstracts consists of summaries of selected scholarly journal articles.
Notes:
- Both databases' content is derived from the two regular columns by the same name that appear in each issue of our journal, Youth Studies Australia.
- The Abstracts database also includes summaries of Youth Studies Australia feature articles.
- The YSA databases contain summaries only, not the full text of items. These summaries are composed by ACYS staff.
- Each summary includes the full citation to the original full text item to help you locate the full text at your own library.
The YSA databases are a virtual synthesis of selected information from press reports and scholarly journals relating to Australian youth since 1990.
