First, using the OPAC is recommended. You can search by book title. You can also search by keywords if you do not know the title.

It seems to be unavailable at UTokyo Libraries.
However, sometimes E-resources may be found by searching the E-journal & E-book Portal because there is a time lag until the data is reflected in the OPAC.
The "CiNii Books" tab on the OPAC enables you to search for books and journals held by other universities in Japan. Please see the "Interlibrary loan service" page for details.
If you are not in a hurry, you can request a book purchase. Please log in to MyOPAC and apply from the "Book Request" page. Please note that your suggestions may occasionally be unaccepted for some reason.

Some are available as e-books (for members of the University of Tokyo only).
You can read the Macmillan Readers series on EBSCO eBook Collection and the Page Turners series on Maruzen eBook Library. You can also search for e-books by grade range on Infobase eBooks. Infobase eBooks can be accessed from E-journal & E-book Portal. Click "Infobase eBooks" on the "Additional Resources" list.
Although not for extensive reading, the Oxford Very Short Introductions series are introductory books on various subjects. Both e-books and printed books are available.

Please check if you are searching by article title. The UTokyo OPAC doesn’t allow you to search by article title. Let’s search by the book/journal title in which the article is published. The TREE is more helpful in finding books, journals, and articles in one search.

You can browse databases available on the Database List. It allows you to narrow them down by subject or source type as well. The "Popular Databases" page and "Methods for using Databases" page on the Literacy website are also informative.

Please see the "How to use e-resources from off-campus" page on the Literacy website. One of our web seminars, Part 3, Using databases & E-Journals from off-campus, also features this topic.

Our web seminars introduce practical ways to find articles. Please see Part 4, Finding journal articles in Japanese and Part 5, Finding journal articles in English.

If you can find the "UTokyo Article Link" or "Full text @ UTokyo" link on the search result, just click it. A new window will open, and you can check if the article is available online or UTokyo Libraries have printed versions.

"How to prepare bibliography and citation lists" on the Literacy website is useful to learn about citations. If you would like to learn more, we recommend you read some books on academic writing. Academic Skills Book List is available on our website.
