*Japanese Studies General Guide: Articles & Databases

Provides a starting point for Japan Studies, including resources to find books, articles, newspapers, and web resources.

What's this page about?

This page contains selected article databases useful for Japanese Studies.  Some databases are full-text while others are index only. Each database has different coverage, so it is highly recommended that you try multiple databases to do a thorough search.  If you find bibliographic records of interest from index databases, please search the KU Online Catalog to find out which journal publishes the article. If we don't have the journal, please place an interlibrary loan request.
