Search by content
The "search by publication details" (above) uses the database records of publication details for each media article and returns a summary of each file matched, including an abstract and a filesize. The "search by content" is a more thorough search, actually looking at the complete text of the media article, but the results may not be presented in such a user-friendly manner. Use whichever search is most appropriate.
Note: The "search by content" does not distinguish between the "projects" of frogs.org.au - this search will always return results from the complete archive.
