Access to Japanese Libraries and Research Institutions<\/h2>\n

Before heading to Japan for research, make an appointment<\/a> with the Japanese studies librarian for advice on access to research institutions and the most-up-to-date information about inter-University agreements that will help you gain access to resources in Japan.<\/p>\n

Waseda University Collaboration<\/strong>
\nThe University of Illinois and Waseda University have an institutional agreement that allows Illinois faculty to register to use the Waseda University Library and check-out materials for research.\u00a0 When you arrive in Tokyo, you can register as a visiting scholar at the International Scholar Services Office.<\/a> Once you register at this office, you can then go to the Waseda University Library to register for library access.\u00a0 Before heading to Waseda, it is also a good idea to pre-search the library catalogs (WINE<\/a>) so that you know what items are available and where you’ll find them in this large research library system.<\/p>\n

The North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources (\u5317\u7c73\u65e5\u672c\u7814\u7a76\u8cc7\u6599\u8abf\u6574\u5354\u8b70\u4f1a)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most up to date resource to help you plan research in Japan is the NCC’s Guide to Research Access for Japanese Museums, Libraries, and Archives<\/a>.<\/p>\n
