Non-English Research Support

Are you conducting research in a language other than English?

We can help, whether you’re an international studies student or faculty member, a visiting scholar from another country, or a researcher of any discipline who wants to find materials in other languages.

Connect with a specialist

Our librarians include specialists in areas such as African, Latin American, and Asian studies, who have knowledge of multiple languages and can:

  • Meet in-person to discuss your work  
  • Respond to research questions 
  • Recommend databases and other resources that can support your studies
  • Help you find non-English language materials
  • Connect you with specific centers or groups on campus

Explore our research guides

Our guide to Searching for Non-English Language Materials has strategies and tools to help make your searches more effective, including guidance on using scripts, diacritics, numerals and dates. You can also find general tips on searching the catalog and filtering to languages other than English in our Library Search guide.

We have a variety of tailored international studies resources as well, which cover regions and topics from Chinese dance to French history.

See Information for International Students and Researchers for more about what we offer.

Find resources through the International Institute

We work closely with the university’s region-based global resource centers. These centers and related programs are part of the International Institute, which supports international teaching, research, and public affairs.

Many of these programs offer funding for international study and research, along with networking opportunities, seminars, and more.
