LIbrary SearchUse Library Search then filter by the language options; or, use Advanced Search, add your search terms then filter results by language.
Most records for Chinese, Japanese and Korean material contain both Romanisation and vernacular scripts. You can search these records using either Romanisation or vernacular scripts.
The Romanisation systems used in the library catalogue are:
-Hepburn for Japanese material
-McCune-Reichauer for Korean material
-Pinyin for Chinese material
If searching is done in Pinyin, each Chinese character should be input as one Pinyin syllable, except for personal and geographic names, where syllables should be joined. For example:
-zhong wen (not zhongwen) - Chinese language
-zhongguo - geographic name
j-ia pingwa - personal name
For Korean materials, each grammatical element is separated with a space but try a few different spacing as search results may vary.
