Hiroyuki Good of the East Asian Library will cover several newly available databases for Japanese studies: Yomidas Rekishikan, a full text database of the Yomiuri Shinbun from the Meiji era to the present, and Zasshi kiji sakuin shusei, a Japanese article index database from the Meiji era to the present. The talk will also update scholars on changes to the JapanKnowledge and three new major online dictionaries: Kokushi Daijiten, Nihon Kokugo Daijiten, and Nihon Rekishi Daijiten. We will also explore how to find full texts and correct citations for inter-library loan requests. All who are interested in using East Asia Library resources for their Japan studies and/or Japanese language research should consider attending.
