New database trial: CAIRN: French-language E-Books and E-Journals

French language E-Books and E-Journals available online. Trial period: 15 February 2016 – 14 April 2016.

TCD Library has arranged a two-month trial of Cairn’s E-Books and E-Journals.

Cairn, the French equivalent of Project Muse, is an online collection of publications in the French language, in the area of humanities and social sciences. Created in 2005 by four Belgian and French academic publishers, Cairn is now providing selected  resources from 130 publishing houses.

During the trial we have access to more than 400 journals and 4,000 books of which, there are 2,200 research books (monographs, proceedings, other collective works) from French and Belgian publishers (Autrement, De Boeck, La Découverte, éres, éditions Mardaga, PUF, ENS, La Documentation française, Presses de Sciences Po and Quae).

The site has both French and English interfaces. It is available on and off campus during the trial.

This resource can also be accessed from the Trial Databases tab of the Library’s Databases and E-Books page.
