全國報刊索引-現刊索引數據庫(1950-1992)
This is an index database of more than 2.5 million journal and newspaper articles published in Mainland China. Users can cross-search with Ming Guo and Late Qing Journals Full-Text Databases (民國時期/晚清期刊全文數據庫) (1833-1949). This index nicely bridges the year gaps between CAJ Full-Text Database from 1994 and Ming Guo Database ending in 1949.

Expanding Ebook Collection
Close to 50,000 titles will be added to the Library collection throughout the Fall semester. They are a good mix of English and Chinese titles. We understand users prefer ebooks in easily downloadable formats. To this end, the Library has been adding "publisher-direct" ebooks which are mostly in PDF format. These include ebooks from Cambridge, Emerald, IGI Global, JSTOR, Palgrave, Taylor and Francis, World Scientific, Wiley, Springer, amongst others. A good number of Chinese titles from Taiwan and Mainland China will also be added. Taiwan ebooks reside on Airiti (華藝) and HyRead (凌網) whereas Mainland China ebooks will be via Apabi (方正) and Superstar (超星). All four are major ebook aggregators with a wide range of academic and popular titles. The ability to export/download Chinese ebook content varies according to publishers' restrictions.
