Hello everyone, we’re happy to let you know that we’ve acquired some new reference resources related to China and the Chinese language. Feel free to share this news with interested scholars. We have perpetual access. These resources are set up on the Databases A-Z list, and we’ll get them catalogued asap.
We acquired these resources not via direct purchase, but rather through the process of negotiating our purchase of the 2020 Brill ebook frontlist. As you’ve heard, due to budget reductions we’re unable to purchase this kind of large online reference resource, so I wanted to clarify the slightly idiosyncratic story of how we came to own these new resources.
With any questions, please let us know!
