When using the UniMelb library catalogue:
- search using either Romanised Japanese or in Japanese text. If using Romanisation, follow the Modified Hepburn Romanization System and don't include long vowels. For example, type in "benkyo" rather than "benkyou" or "benkyoo". For more information, check the Hepburn Romanization chart (this will open in a new window).
- use a keyword search for preference.
- type in Japanese characters.
There are more specific search tips under each of the sections of this guide.
