Think about keywords related to the East Asian history topic you're interested in- maybe a specific geographical region, time period or dynasty, or aspect (cultural, philosophical, demographic)- to start your search in the library's catalog, WorldCat@SU. Try different combinations, and be aware of spellings. Two systems of Romanization exist for Chinese: here is a Pinyin vs Wade Giles chart that may help.
When you find a relevant resource, click 'Description'. Try exploring the subject links to lead to more resources on the topic. Also browse the shelf nearby for related titles: either in person or online using 'Browse the Shelf' feature.
Ask your librarian for other advanced search tips/strategies! Note: for finding Primary Sources, try adding 'source' to your WorldCat search.
Try some of these subject headings in WorldCat:
East Asia History | East Asia Civilization | China Court and courtiers | Qing Dynasty (China) | History & Archaeology | China History | Japan History | Chinese literature | China Politics and government | Korea History | Korea (South) History | China social life and customs | Asia History | China History Ming dynasty, 1368-1644 | Emperors Japan Biography | Korea Civilization 1392-1910. |
