What UEL Can Do 4U: Asia-Studies Full-Text Online
Do you need information about Kim Jong-Un’s rise to power in North Korea, or China’s economic growth for the past several years, or current food safety concerns near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan? Asia-Studies Full-Text Online is an excellent resource for reports, working papers, print and e-journals dealing with these issues. It covers business, economics, government, politics, and social sciences related to Asia-Pacific countries.
Examples of specific subject coverage include finance, trade, environment, human resources development, best practices in government, fisheries, tourism, education and women's studies to name a few. Over 15,000 studies are included in the database which is updated weekly; the average study is 50 pages long and includes statistics, research, analysis, and forecasts.
Country coverage is available. The 55 countries covered by the database include all of Asia from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Central Asian republics on east through India, Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

eHRAF Database Trials to Continue
eHRAF World Cultures & Archaeology will continue for the spring semester. eHRAF World Cultures/Archaeology are subject-indexed at the paragraph level which makes these ethnographic/archaeological full-text databases extremely powerful in retrieving exact information. eHRAF serves as excellent research and teaching tool for cross-cultural studies and appeals to many academic disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, medicine, and any other discipline with an interest in cultural diversity.
