The Library has access to, and subscribes to many education related databases. Subscribed services are restricted to Dept. Education and Training staff only. Logon details, passwords and database content must not be distributed or shared, as to do so is a breach of our contracts with service providers.  Not all databases can be accessed directly from this page as links cannot be provided on a publicly accessible page - some links will take you to the Intranet page.

All relevant copyright laws and restrictions must be complied with when downloading, printing or otherwise accessing information from databases. Please contact the Library if you require more information on copyright law. 

Logon information and passwords may be obtained from the Library’s Intranet page at http://intranet.det.wa.edu.au/resources/library/data-with-logi-pass.asp.  If you require further information, please contact the library staff at library@det.wa.edu.au or telephone 9264 4647.
