New on ejournals@cambridge A-Z : Periodicals archive online: jisc collection selection (50 new titles).

From the Jisc website:

“Continuing to meet the need for deep archives of scholarly journals, Jisc has purchased a second collection of 50 titles from ProQuest’s Periodicals Archive Online (PAO) resource for the research and teaching community across the United Kingdom.

This new collection adds to the existing collection of 80 titles Jisc already provides to their membership as part of the Jisc ProQuest Archives Collection. Titles have been hand-picked from the Periodicals Archive Online (PAO) collections from ProQuest to complement other electronic archives to which Jisc members already have access.”

New titles were chosen to fit within one or more of the 37 subject areas in the arts, humanities and social sciences already included in the database. For example:

Byron Journal

International journal of comparative and applied criminal justice

Journal of South Asian and Middle Eastern studies

Twentieth Century China

New on ejournals@cambridge A-Z : Twentieth Century China.

From the Project Muse website for the journal:

“Twentieth-Century China, a refereed scholarly journal, publishes new research on China’s long twentieth century. Articles in the journal engage significant historiographic or interpretive issues and explore both continuities of the Chinese experience across the century and specific phenomena and activities within the Chinese cultural, political, and territorial sphere—including the Chinese diaspora—since the final decades of the Qing. Comparative empirical and/or theoretical studies rooted in Chinese experience sometimes extend to areas outside China, as well. The journal encompasses a wide range of historical approaches in its examination of twentieth-century China: among others, social, cultural, intellectual, political, economic, and environmental. Founded as a newsletter in 1975, Twentieth-Century China has grown into one of the leading English-language journals in the field of Chinese history.”

Now available to the University of Cambridge electronically from the Project Muse platform from volume 33 (2007) to present.
