Finding Japanese films in Ohio State’s collections

In the past few years I have been purchasing many Japanese films for the library collections. Here are some hints on finding them:

Search OSCAR — http://library.ohio-state.edu/search/X — for:

1) Keyword searches –

  • Keyword=videorecording
    with a limit for Language = Japanese
    (This search finds 253 titles on August 17, 2005)
  • Keyword= dvd
    with a limit for Language=Japanese
    (This search finds 89 titles on August 17, 2005)
  • Keyword=vhs
    with a limit for Language=Japanese
    (This search finds 149 titles on August 17, 2005)

Note: To find other kinds of media in the Japanese collections, the same technique can be used with keywords such as “sound recording” or “cd-rom.”

2) Series searches —

I have been purchasing films/TV shows in the following series (which can be searched as a TITLE) –

Some series can be searched as KEYWORDs using “and videorecording” (when we also have books based on the series), for example:


3) Other searches –

Note: Films can also be searched by title, director’s name (author), actor’s names, film company name, etc. For example:
