Chinese Language Collection: How can I search it?

How can I search the Chinese Language Collection?

Although you can search Ambrose Library's catalogue using Chinese characters, most of the books in the Chinese Language Collection are catalogued in Pinyin and not yet in Chinese characters. As a result, you won't find many books by searching for Chinese characters. You can search the catalogue using Pinyin, but we understand that not all Chinese speakers can read (or translate into) Pinyin.

To facilitate searching this collection using Chinese characters, please download the spreadsheet below. Sort it in any way that helps you and search it using Chinese characters (refer to these searching and sorting help articles for tips).

Make a note of the call numbers (in column H) and then either come to the library to look for the books on the shelves, or follow these steps to submit requests for the books.
