Working from Home: An Introduction to Digital Resources for Research on Premodern Chinese Texts
- A workshop for UBC scholars with Dr. Kay Duffy (UBC)
- Co-sponsored by the Centres for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Research
- When: 5:00 pm PDT Friday, July 31
- Where: Zoom (link will be sent to registrants)
- Registration: Send name and email address to this email [ckr.ck@ubc.ca]
- Details: At a time when access to on-site library resources is limited, many scholars rely on digital resources in order to conduct basic research. However, not all databases are created equal. How does one choose the best tool for the job? In this workshop, I will introduce several commonly used open-source (Ctext, Kanripo) and proprietary (Scripta Sinica, Erudition) textual databases and their respective quirks, as well as a new resource (Ancient Books) recently made available to UBC users on a trial basis. This workshop is open to anyone whose work touches on premodern Chinese sources — scholars working outside the field of China studies are welcome.
