New trials for databases from Taiwan

Princeton, October 05, 2023: 
The East Asian Library is running two trials of new databases from Taiwan:

Taiwan Government Research Archives (TGRA)
The database collects the communiqués of the six branches of the Republic of China political system from 1946 to the present with particular emphasis on the communiqués of the administrative and judicial systems. The communiques can be browsed and filtered by a variety of options including related persons, related institutions and related laws. Entries for the laws are linked to the open Law Database of the ROC. Full-text searches are possible as and the discovered communiqués can be downloaded as PDFs. The PDFs however are not provided in OCRed form and are therefore not searchable after download. Trial access to the database is available on campus. Off-campus access will be added as soon as it becomes available

Trial period: until October 31, 2023

Ainosco Search
Conceptually this database is similar to Google Books and Duxiu. The database allows full-text searching for Chinese monographs (mainly from Taiwan) and also includes reading access for a subset of the searchable books as eBooks (again mainly from Taiwan). What is special, is that it allows readers to conduct full-text searches on a broad range of our print books from Taiwan and links the results to our physical holdings of those books via the Princeton catalog, even if full-text access of the eBook is not available via this database. Trial access to the database is available on campus. Off-campus access will be added as soon as it becomes available
