New Database

Duxiu 读秀is a huge content-based database composed of 1,000,000,000 full-text pages (full-text, books, articles, theses, web pages, newspapers) and over 3,300,000 titles with very flexible searches. Using the book-title filter, one can read a limited number of pages directly on-line, and in many cases you can email to yourself 50 pages or 1/5th of a book, whichever is less, once per week by clicking on 图书馆文献传递. Within 3 to 5 minutes a link will be sent to your email box, and by clicking that link, you can read the text online, and print it out (6 pages at a time). Make sure to look in your junk-mail folder, for we have experienced on occasion that a link was sent there. Please experiment with the many other useful features and functions in Duxiu, such as My library, Movie and Music searches, catalog searches, etc.
