Databases

Databases are a new and exciting direction for the NCACL.  These databases support respect for cultures and social inclusion in the education sector in Australia and world wide. If you experience any issues relating to functions while using the databases, contact us and let us know.

Databases are funded by donations and are created by specialists and NCACL content volunteers.

Picture Books for Older Readers

The picture books selected for this database are sophisticated, with various levels of meaning. Some deal with complex issues. NCACL recommends database users check the subject headings, annotations and curriculum links of individual books to determine their suitability for young readers.
