This manual describes the contents, purpose, and use of the Australian Education Index Database (AEII), which is produced by the Library and Information Services Unit of the Australian Council for Educational Research to provide access to Australian generated information both in published and unpublished forms. An overview of AEII is followed by an outline of the AEII record format and two sample records. Detailed guidelines for searching the AEII database using STAIRS software are provided, with specific attention paid to searchable fields within the records. Subject indexing of records in the database using the Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors is then reviewed, and the function of stopwords, i.e., words not stored for searching purposes, and the availability of documents recorded in the database are also briefly discussed. Appended are a list of periodicals scanned regularly for inclusion in the database and a list of AEII stopwords. (JL)

This core thesaurus of terms suitable for indexing Australian educational literature was developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research by means of a systematic and thorough revision of the "Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors." Based on the actual terminology of education in Australia, this thesaurus includes: key words and phrases used by indexers as subject headings, or "descriptors," in information retrieval systems; an alphabetical display of all subject index terms (headings); extensive scope notes to clarify meaning and usage of terms; and a full introduction and comprehensive explanatory chapters. Introductory materials include sections on thesaurus development, vocabulary maintenance, the Australian Education Index database, information retrieval search aids, guidelines for indexing, structure and format of the thesaurus, and descriptor groups.
