UBC Library is currently offering a trial of the Mainichi shinbun 毎日新聞 newspaper database, Maisaku. Please try out the database (instructions below), and remember to complete the feedback form to tell us what you think.　The database offers the newspaper’s full-text articles from 1872 to present, as well as articles from the Japanese edition of the Economist.

1) Go to the information page
2) Click on “via the web”
3) Click on the blue log in button
4) fill out the feedback form

Although searching by author is possible in both Japanese and English scripts, at this point it appears that titles can only be found using original Japanese script searches. Here is an example of one of the Aozora titles available through Internet Archive: Futari no tomo　二人の友 by Mori Ōgai　森鴎外. See the left-hand column for viewing and download options.

For more information, see the press releases from Voyager Japan, the company that transferred the content, in Japanese and in English.
