Database Link Collections by Libraries (Japanese Only)
See the list of link collections here (Japanese only).
Some UTokyo libraries publish collections of links to frequently used databases organized by subject area.
These collections may include databases not listed in the "Database List" because individual departments contract for them independently.
If you are unsure which database to use, please refer to the pages linked in these collections as well.
