A LibGuides Databases A-Z page for Chinese eresources is now available to Cambridge University members. Our Head of Chinese Section, Dr Yan He writes:
"Cambridge University Library purchased or subscribed to a few major databases for Chinese studies including Erudition Ancient Books (爱如生古籍库) databases, National Palace Museum Journals Archive (故宮期刊知識庫), and Dacheng Guzhidui Full Text Periodical Database（大成故纸堆 ) in the past two years.
These databases provide robust support for our faculty, students and researchers at Cambridge along with our print collections. The digital content contains primary sources and secondary sources for Chinese studies in humanities and social sciences. One of our professors commented to the two recent available databases: "these databases are essential to my research and teaching." And one MPhil student said his dissertation cannot be done without one digital newspaper database."
