- Bibliography of Asian Studies [EBSCO] 1971+ This link opens in a new windowThis is not a full-text database. You will need to search the library catalog to see if we have the journals or books that are indexed. This is one of the best places to start your research in English on Korea.
- Project Muse (Current issues) This link opens in a new windowProject Muse is a full-text database of English language scholarly journals, that includes a generous selection of Asian Studies. In general it contains issues published since 2000, although there are exceptions. It should be used in tandem with JSTOR (which contains the earlier volumes and has a moving wall of not including the last 3-5 years.).
- JSTOR This link opens in a new windowFull-text digital archive of over 1000 journals, including many of the top ones in Asian studies.
- Korean BibliographyThe Korean Section of the Library of Congress has prepared a bibliography of approximately 4,800 records of books about Korea in English up to 1995 held by the Library of Congress. The Korean Section added local subject terms to these records to provide added value for researchers and improve the quality of service in the library.
