The library's main search tool for books, articles, and more. This tool is an excellent place to begin your research because it searches across UMSL's materials AND multiple online databases at the same time. *Note: For non-English materials, it is helpful to use search terms in your target language (e.g., rekishi vs. history).
You have access to scholarly research and other resources provided through online databases that UMSL subscribes to every year. These databases allow you to search resources in your subject area in a more advanced, targeted way.
We subscribe to multiple databases that offer resources related to language, culture, political science, history, etc., including Japanese Studies / Language & Cultural Studies.
We've offered some recommendations below! You can also visit our complete list of databases. Contact the library for assistance with accessing or navigating any of UMSL's databases.
