Most of this seems to come from the Harvard-Yenjing collection, and it is good to see them, willing or not, fighting the good fight to open up digital sources even to those not associated with a major university.\u00a0 While I enjoy the site a lot, it is a sad\u00a0 reminder of how digital sources are re-creating the intellectual divide that was eroded in my younger days by photocopies and Interlibrary loan. Today, again, if you are not part of the academic elite you are just a frog at the bottom of well, struggling to see all the things that others can see without any struggle at all. It is good to see someone democratizing knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the FB group for the reference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for something fun to read?
