East Asia Library has access to trial use of the following databases from Airiti:

1. Taiwan Electronic Periodical Services (TEPS) : http://www.airiti.com/teps
2. Chinese Electronic Periodical Services (CEPS) http://www.airiti.com/ceps
3. National Palace Museum Online (NPM Online) http://www.airiti.com/npmoln

Airiti’s Taiwan Electronic Periodical Services (TEPS) and Chinese Electronic Periodical Services (CEPS) databases provide direct access to more than 2,500 full-text Chinese-language journals.  The Taiwan Electronic Periodical Services covers 81,000 articles published in leading Taiwanese academic journals, and the Chinese Electronic Periodical Services includes 338,000 full-text articles from journals published in China and in Taiwan.  Spanning subject areas including medicine and life sciences, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and applied sciences, each service is updated daily with new academic journal content and includes archived issues dating to 1991. National Palace Museum (NPM) Online contains descriptions of painting, calligraphy, ceramics, jade, bronze, Buddhist antiques, and other rarities, as well as their relevance to Chinese art history.

Currently these links will only work on Stanford IP address computers. Please give them a try and send feedback to Charles Fosselman (cfosselm [at] stanford.edu)

The National Assembly Library (국회도서관) and the National Library of Korea (국립중앙도서관) provide many full-text e-resources in their online catalogs. Due to copyright issues, however, these full-text resources are available at three different levels.

1. available to users worldwide who have access to their online catalogs
2. available only to users who are either at the workstations in the two national libraries or at several designated workstations in libraries that signed cooperative agreements with the two Korean national libraries. Stanford University Libraries signed agreements with the two national libraries of Korea.
3. available only to users who are using workstations in the two national libraries

The National Assembly Library’s online catalog: http://u-lib.nanet.go.kr:8080/dl/SearchIndex.php

The National Library of Korea’s online catalog: http://www.nl.go.kr/ 

The National Library of Korea Digital Library (only for full-text resources): http://www.dlibrary.go.kr/WONMUN/

In order to see full-texts, some viewer programs that are provided by the libraries need to be installed on your workstation. The National Assembly Library also requires free registration with the Library.

If you would like to view/print the e-resources available by the agreement signed with these institutions, you need to come to the East Asia Library on the 4th floor of Meyer Library. We currently have one designated workstation.  Icons for the two digital libraries have been created; and all necessary viewers have been installed on the workstation. Please do not install any other programs on the workstation. When you click to open a full-text, you may see a pop-up note that indicates that there will be a copyright fee charged. Stanford University Libraries will pay for the copyright fees for opening and printing the resources. However, you need to pay the fees that you normally pay when you print documents from the Library workstations.

If you encounter any problems when using these services, please report to the service desk or contact the Korean Studies Librarian, Kyungmi Chun (kyungmic@stanford.edu 724-5934).

The East Asia Library has acquired the collection of “deep backfiles” of the China Academic Journals database. The Century Journals Project is the single largest retrospective digital collection of 20th Century Chinese Journals which includes more than 3,500 full-text Chinese Journals. This acquisition greatly expands our electronic journal holdings which before now only went back to 1994. The backfiles go back as early as 1906 and many of the titles cover from the mid-twentieth century through 1993.

The EAL has acquired the following Series:

We now have both on-campus and proxy (off-campus) access to the 2nd edition of the Nihon kokugo daijiten 日本国語大辞典, published by Shoggakan in 2000-2002 .  For access, please see below.
