We are trialing a Chinese language full-text journal database called CNKI for two months. Please recommend the resource to any students or academics you see who can read Chinese. The Subject areas we are trialing should cover most disciplines at UC except Sciences and Engineering. Science and Engineering packages exist and could be trialled in the future if there was demand. We are also trialing databases of Chinese newspapers and Masters/PhD theses. Please remind any users you recommend this to, to fill in the trial feedback from on the database trials page.
