SomeChinese/ English or Japanese databases do not support WAM mode, such as the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI Qingdao), China Dissertations and Theses Database (CNKI Qingdao), Taylor & Francis ebooks, etc. If the webpage shows garbled messages or other abnormality, please switch to VPN connection or Proxy Server method to access.
It might happen that the browser shows insecure/ private connection, or SSL certificate issues.
