Description: The database is a treasure trove for unexpected things. Some materials (as the 万国公报) are digitized from facsimiles, sometimes the bibliographical reference is not correct, at some places links bring you to different issues or even journals. But the ressource has journals missing in the ShangTu ressource (晚清期刊、民国时期期刊).
You may switch between searches for articles (按篇检索) and searches for journals (按刊检索) and further specify the field in which you character appears (author, title etc.). Hit lists are on the article level and a click brings you to the respective page. But the whole issue will be loaded and can thus be comfortly be paged through. The viewer also allows a download in PDF format.

Description: The interface gives access to the early period of Chinese periodical publishing covering the time from the late Qing up to the end of the Republican period, that is from 1833 to 1949 (please select "modern periodicals" 近代期刊). Divided into two main parts and further subdivided into several batches the database will finally include more the 20,000 journals and more then 15 mio. articles. The material and expertise the project relies on is that of the Shanghai tushuguan and can be seen as a kind of "full text" extension of their Quanguo baokan suoyin 全国报刊索引, available via the same interface. While the first main part on the Late Qing, the 晚清期刊全文数据库 (1833-1911), is already completed, of the second part on the Republican period, 民国时期期刊全文数据库 (1911-1949), the first three batches have appeared, further two batches are expected for 2012.
Currently access to the 302 different journal titles of the Late Qing part and the first three batches of the Republican period part with more than 3500 journal titles are accessible. Further batches will follow.
The search interface allows users to search by article title, author, journal title, date, etc. and to view and download the respective article as scanned image pages embedded in a PDF. Under 期刊导航 (Browse by Journal) a short description of the publication history and content of each subscribed journal is given as well as the possibility to get an overview of the issues published and the articles in each issue. Journals that appear in grey are not accessible resp. not subscribed. On the left hand side browsing via subject category is possible. By choosing 晚清期刊 or 民国时期期刊 from the 数据库 pull down menu one may confine the hit list to the respective database.
What is labeled as 全文 (full text) in the database actually means 'complete text'. There is no searchable full text of the articles themselves.

Description: The resource gives access to hundreds of newspapers, magazines, government and company informations etc. from Taiwan, Mainland China, Hongkong and Macao and some "other countries".
Via WiseSearch users may search by combined keywords, confine their searches to a specific time range (the maximum time range is 5 years), to headlines or full text as well as to specific sources resp. publication titles selectable under "Search Options" in the lower half of the screen. There also a short "info" of each resource can be found. By double clicking a publication title you may also exclude specific sources.
Hit lists can be further "refined" and/or "filtered by source".
Full texts can be viewed online, downloaded or printed and you may first collect them in a TempFolder and then download the whole package to your local computer.
The current CrossAsia subscription starts with the year 1998 and does not include the image and video package.
A detailed English userguide is provided via the menue on the bottom of the WiseSearch web page. Here you can download a list of all available resources in WiseSearch.
WiseSearch does not allow to view a specific issue of a resource page by page or article by article. You may confine your search to a specific newspaper under "Search options" (for example by chosing "Mainland China > Newspaper > China Daily") and then to a specific year or month. But you still have to enter a keyword and thus may miss an article (search for "and" or "和" by adding quotation marks). Supposing a search for "and" is actually complete, the references of the hits give the publication date (not the number of the issue!) and in most cases also name the column where the article appeared. They do not name the page number.
A click on the resource title in a hit list or an article reference selects all articles of the respective resource but only those of the most recent month.
WiseSearch is mainly meant to provide you with an up to date newsstand of hundreds of Greater Chinas information resources.
