Journals are the other area where electronic formats are convenient and easy to use. Several journals which were offered online and in print are now purchased only in electronic form. The purchased or subscribed databases pertinent to South Asia alone are: These are in addition to the common platforms such as JStor or EBSCOHost, which provide access to many of the common English-language journals and serials, such as South Asian Studies, Modern Asian Studies, or Economic and Political Weekly. In November 2010, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries joined Hathi Trust, and approximately 2 million downloadable books in the public domain have been made available through the Penn Libraries since November 2014. Daily newspapers used to be received in the South Asia Reading Room from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but are now are mostly available online. For some historic newspaper collections, the World Newspaper Archive provides access: "Ceylon Observer" (1864-1922), "Indian People" (1903-1909), "Kaysar-i Hind" (1886-1890), "Leader" (1909-1922), "Madras Mail" (1868-1889), "Pioneer" (1865-1903), "Tribune" (1881-1922). The Proquest Historical Newspapers platform provides access to "The Times of India" (1838-2002). A very important, but often underutilized, source of information for South Asia is the microform collection which is located on the first floor in the Van Pelt Library. The formats are microfilm and microfiche. These sets are important because they represent important primary sources in the study of South Asia. Materials in microformats can be saved as PDFs or printed. Some of the highlights of the South Asia collections in these formats are listed below. This list is by no means exhaustive, but a quick sampling of the kinds of contents that are located in the microformat area. A detailed list of microform materials is to be found in the research guide Major Microform Sets in the Penn Library under the sub-heading of South Asian Studies. These are but a few of the thousands of titles available in our microformat collections, and till these resources are reprinted or republished online, this format remains unique and valuable. For biographical materials, there is the very large set, the Indian Biographical Archives (Microfiche 1062). This collection is a single alphabetic cumulation of approximately 170 sources published from the mid-19th to the late 20th century.
