Online access to the database is provided by subscription from the ACER website. Institutional Libraries submitting their address to ACER can provide online searching to staff and students (see the list, below). Subscriptions for Australian universities vary according to university size. Subscriptions for overseas universities are AUD$250.00. As soon as an IP address is received, access is activated.
