More New Resources on J-DAC

The University of California campuses now have access to two new databases at the J-DAC platform, with thanks to our lead tier 2 campus UC Berkeley for coordinating the purchase. Many thanks go out to UCLA who graciously funded these purchases. 

The two new resources included are: 

Kindai Bukkyō kishō korekushon 近代仏教稀少雑誌コレクション (Modern Buddhism Rare Periodicals Collection)

This new database contains over 1,000 selected periodicals on Modern Buddhism, mainly those not held by the National Diet Library of Japan.

Access:  https://j-dac.jp/bukkyo/

Kindai seishin ryōhō kirokushū 近代精神療法記録集 (Records of Modern Psychotherapy in Japan)

This database provides access to records on psychotherapy in Japan left by Kokyo Nakamura, a novelist who studied under Sōseki Natsume and later became a psychiatrist.

Access: https://j-dac.jp/kokyo/

Both collections are included with the Social and Cultural History Database at the J-DAC platform and cross-searchable with other collections.

Toshie Marra, Librarian for the Japanese Collection at UC Berkeley, is the Tier 2 lead for J-DAC resources.
