"Remote Research and Teaching: Japanese E-Resources at OSU Libraries"
Flyer: Ann Marie Davis Flyer [PDF]
Abstract: Now more than ever, we find ourselves reliant on eBooks and online databases to pursue our work as researchers, students, and scholars. OSU Libraries offers an abundance of e-resources, but sometimes the sheer volume can feel overwhelming. Where does one start when looking for Japanese eBooks, streaming media sites, online Tadoku (extensive reading) materials, or contemporary and archival newspaper databases? In this hands-on workshop, Japanese Studies Librarian Ann Marie Davis will demonstrate how to access such materials -- from Japanese eBooks (on new platforms like KinoDen), to major databases like Japan Knowledge (the largest corpus of reference resource materials in Japan) and JKBooks (a specialized eBook platform with volumes of primary sources and antique texts). In addition, she will discuss National Diet Library digital collections, indexes to Japanese language articles, and much more. Come with questions to this interactive workshop about e-Resources available through OSU Libraries and beyond!
*NOTE: This workshop will be tailored to the research and teaching needs of OSU students, faculty, and staff. It will emphasize subscription-based databases that require active OSU credentials (e.g. name.#) to log on.
