You can access all of LRC's e-resources off campus if you have installed the new VPN on your device. As a special arrangement during the fight against the novel coronavirus, staff and students who haven’t done so but need to activate the Dkey Token can send an activation request to LRC at library@uic.edu.cn. LRC will liaise with ITSC to assist with the activation.

Before the Spring festival, LRC has commenced subscriptions to the following new databases, we hope they are useful for your teaching and learning:

• The American Physical Society (APS) Journal Platform

• Bibliography of Asian Studies (EBSCO)

• Dictionaries for the Study of Buddhist and East Asian Language and Thought

• Journal Citation Reports

• Mintel

• Nature

• RESSET Enterprise Big Data Platform (RESSET EntBDP)

In addition, during this special period, Flipster has offered a four-month free, unlimited access to all its magazines to all UIC users. We hope you can find magazines you like among more than 700 original foreign popular magazines on the Flipster website or APP, while also keeping yourself updated about current news and developments in other fields of knowledge.

The MET website https://lib.52met.com/ and WeChat Mini-Program "MET全民英语" can be accessed directly off campus. During the outbreak response, all staff and students in the university, as well as users of the public library can access all the contents of MET for free. You can practice your spoken English on the MET platform. LRC will hold the 4th UIC MET English Speaking Contest in the coming week. There will be fabulous prizes provided and your active participation is encouraged.
