Our books can be found using the following catalogues:

Katalog Plus

AOI-Katalog

The AOI catalog contains only the holdings of the AOI libraries (Ethnology, Indology, Japanese Studies, Oriental and Islamic Studies, Korean Studies, Chinese Studies) with better search and display functions for foreign characters. Therefore, this catalog should preferably be used when searching in Korean.

Cross Asia provides access to electronic resources related to Korean studies that are not included in the licensing of the University of Tübingen.

To access the licensed databases, you must register on the Cross Asia website and then download the appropriate form. You will need to print this out and bring it to the secretary's office to have it stamped. Then, scan the form and email it to Cross Asia.
