A-Z Korean Language Databases 한국어 데이터베이스
This page lists the Korean language databases available at SOAS; for other databases use the letter navigation on the left or go to the A-Z database homepage.
On-campus access is automatic for most databases; and many can be accessed off-campus using your SOAS id and password (the same as you use for SOAS e-mail and computers). Off-campus access is only available to SOAS students and staff; and is available only where there is a link for 'off-campus use'.
If you need help with any of the databases you can:
- Ask at the Library Enquiry Desk (Ground floor/Level E), Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.
- E-mail electronic@soas.ac.uk
