The China Academic Journals (CAJ) database is the largest index to Chinese-language periodicals from the People's Republic of China. It is a component in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKInet).  For some background on CNKInet, visithttp://online.eastview.com/help/faq.htm. It covers more than 7,200 journals. The Libraries have subscribed to two components: (F) Literature/History/Philosophy and (G) Politics/Military Affairs/Law.  Other components cannot be viewed in full text; but one may search the index across all components.  This is important, because articles not available to us online may be requested through interlibrary loan. Full-Boolean searching in Chinese and English is supported in basic, advanced, and expert modes.

Other topical components are: science and engineering, agriculture, medicine and health, education and social science, electronics (telecommunications and computers) and information science (includes library science), and economics and management. The tables of contents of journals may be viewed; sometimes they are in English (especially in non-humanities areas); in the vast majority of instances they are in Chinese. While overwhelmingly in Chinese; a significant number of articles are in English.
