Please note we do not have access to all ebooks on the platform.

Bodleian Libraries users now have access to Contemporary Japan Online from Brill. This is an online collection of most issues of the periodical Contemporary Japan (ISSN 0388-0214) published from 1932 to 1970.

Published from Tokyo under Japanese editorship before, during, and after WWII, Contemporary Japan is unique in its even-handed treatment of the Japanese view. Described as ‘a relative beacon of rationality in chaotic and confusing times’, Contemporary Japan was published by the semi-official Foreign Affairs Association of Japan. It counted both Japanese and Western commentators, many of which sincere Pan-Asianists cautiously but clearly voicing their disillusionment with the increasingly heated war-time rhetoric, the road to war against China – and the way the ‘reverse course’ went from 1947–1952.

We now have access to Web of Science API Expanded – An API that supports rich searching across Web of Science resources to retrieve full item-level metadata including times cited counts, contributor addresses/affiliations and funding data. API expanded offers full customization and flexibility for researchers who want to build more sophisticated queries, but requires some technical skill and coding ability.

The whole process is described in this guide along with a video walkthrough.

Bodleian Libraries users now have access to Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods from Alexander Street.

Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods brings together archival and textual material relating to archaeological excavations, methods, and practices done in the late 20th century to present day. It provides insights into the lives, cultures, and societies of ancient and not-so-distant civilizations through the analysis of material remains and artifacts from the past. This collection allows researchers and students to use archival material and published works to better understand, analyse, and critique archaeological research.

Featured in this collection is the The Cusichaca Trust Archive sourced from the Senate House Library, University of London. Led by archaeologist Ann Kendall, the Trust did numerous excavations in the South-Central Andes from 1980s-2010s. The archaeology, archaeobotany and ethnohistorical work focused on human occupation of the area from the late first millennium BC, through Inca expansion and into the Spanish Colonial period.
