Can I use only Roman characters to search Japanese language materials?
By placing a "$" symbol in front of Roman characters used for search values, you can convert the Roman characters into Katakana characters to perform a search.
- Writing in the official Kana romanization system and the Hepburn system is supported.
- The Roman alphabet doesn't correspond to the long vowel character. For example, please enter "$kiwado" not "$kiwado" when you want to get the same result in the "キーワード."
- _ means a blank.
| Entry example | Search results | Example of hit |
|---|---|---|
| $genji | It will be shown the same search results in the keywords "ゲンジ" (genji in katakana). | 源氏世界の文学 源氏物語の人と心 源氏物語の世界 |
| $syamisen+$wahuu | It will be shown the same search results in the keywords "シャミセン+ワフウ"(syamisen+wahuu in katanaka). | 玉菊とその三味線 和風 和風と洋式 |
| $nihon_$amerika | It will be shown the same search results in the keywords "ニホン_アメリカ"(nihon_amerika in katanaka). | 日米関係キーワード アメリカの心・日本の心 日米同盟 |
I found a book with ［Search and Find］, but I don't know its location on the bookshelves.
An image of the call number label appears when the cursor is placed over this link.
This image corresponds to the label on the book.
The library bookshelves are arranged in order of call number.
From the signs on premises and this number, find the bookshelf.
How do I return to the original search result list after a refined search from the left menu on the search result list display screen?
In the example, the material type is limited to "books."
Cancel the search conditions for this holding library. Then, to return to the original search result list, click the red x button in the blank area under "Selecting conditions."
Even if you have performed multiple refined searches, you can cancel any narrow-down search condition by using the above method, regardless of the order of the searches.
Suppose that you perform a refined search of a holding library, select a bibliography on the bibliography search result list screen, and then move to the bibliography details screen. Even after that, you can still cancel the refined search of the holding library and perform a refined search of another library.
