Database Link Collections by Libraries (Japanese Only)
See the list of link collections here (Japanese only).
Some libraries at the University of Tokyo release a collection of links to databases that are often used in each field.
These links may contain information on databases that are not listed on the "Database List" on the University of Tokyo Library System website because they are contracted independently by each department.
