Use Summon to search the library's collection of foreign language media and books.
Additional materials, including foreign feature films, are available in the Language Media Library, but users must go to the Lab to view them.
Please note that streaming media content is not indexed in Summon and users should search those interfaces directly to find and access audio-video files.
Use Google Scholar for a broader search. Set your browser settings so Google Scholar can let you know when its results are part of the library's collection.
If you want some insight on doing research at the university level, check out the tips and tutorials in our Introduction to Library Research.
If you find an article or book in Google Scholar you'd like to use that isn't in our collection, request it from another library.
