E-journal & E-book Portal does not allow you to search e-books by author's name, but OPAC allows you to search by author's name. However, e-books have the disadvantage that the amount of information may be large or small, depending on the individual title. (For example, there is no author name data or publisher data.) Therefore, there may be cases where a hit cannot be found by author's name. In such cases, you can use e-books by following links from paper books or journals (with some exceptions).

- Toyo Bunko, Bunko Kuseju Best Collection, Jinbutsu Sosho, The Complete Collection of Japanese Classical Literature (New Edition) etc. are available.
Individual titles are not currently searchable in the University of Tokyo OPAC. Please log in to Japan Knowledge Lib and use the bookshelf menu on the right side of Basic Search.
