How to Search Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) Records

Two ways you can do it:

Type in Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK 中日韓) language characters in search box.
Use North American romanization standards for CJK languages:
Pinyin for Chinese, Hepburn for Japanese, and McCune-Reischauer for Korean.

NOTE:
The online catalog is not case sensitive and ignores diacritics when searching.
A hyphen (-) is treated as a space if not included in the search term.
