Recommended Databases: EBSCO Cross-Search
Asian studies is a highly interdisciplinary field. EBSCO Cross-Search includes scholarly articles from 20 subscription databases, so it's a great starting point for your research. JSTOR might also be helpful for Asian studies research relating to history and the humanities.
A list of all CSB/SJU Libraries' databases is on the Databases A-Z page, and the best databases for each discipline are in our Research Guides.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
If you need a book or article that isn't held by the CSB/SJU Libraries, you can request it from another library using our Interlibrary Loan service. Just look for a "Request Item through Interlibrary Loan" button!
