The Digital Library
The NIJL's Online Databases, though not a complete set of its archived materials, are constantly expanding. Several of these are open to the public, others (particularly the full-text databases such as the Nihon koten bungaku taikei) are only available to scholars who must apply through the NIJL website for a username and password. The NIJL's webpages and databases are in Japanese, they do not have mirror sites in English or other foreign languages. Full-text databases can be used to search for specific words and passages in historical works of literature, however they are not suitable for reading large sections of text.
