Issue No. 60 (Aug 2020)
The Library never stop exploring quality materials to facilitate your study and research. In this special issue, we proudly presents several new and valuable online resources recently added to the Library Collection, covering a variety of formats from e-books to periodicals and archive databases. While you're fighting to work and study online elsewhere but not on campus due to the coronavirus, we wish these online additions are timely to bring you more convenience with everything just at your fingertips.
Some of our major recent additions are valuable research materials focused on the periods from Late Qing to early 20th century that one cannot miss.
This collection includes more than 120,000 Chinese publications of the years from 1900 to 1949 in e-format. The covered contents are comprehensive and broad.
The database provides full-text access to more than 20,000 Chinese periodicals published between 1911 and 1949. Together with The Late Qing Full-text Database (1833-1911) on the same platform, it provides a full picture of modern China via the periodicals published over a period of a century.
Shen Bao covers 77 years of the newspaper issues from 1872 to 1949 published in Shanghai, China. It provides the primary source of information of this period. It is an important and historical Chinese newspaper in Far East between the periods of the late 19th century and mid-20th century.
Another notable enhancement is our collections' significant increase on both English and Chinese e-books in the past few months. The Library has reviewed and adopted various new acquisition models from different e-book vendors and publishers, like Cambridge University Press, Emerald, JSTOR, SAGE, Springer. Adopting these new acquisitions, we are not only talking about increasing the volumes of e-books available for your study, reference and leisure reading, but also broadening in subject varieties and boosting in having more high quality publications from big publishers for your choice.
