Your feedback matters! Please take part in the CrossAsia Community Survey by 10 August, 2026 and help us continuously improve our information resources and services for Asia-related research. You can find more details on our blog.
In order to be able to access the licensed content it is necessary to register with CrossAsia. Registration is free of charge and available for all individuals who belong to and/or are associated with an German institute that participates in the Blauer Leihverkehr Interlibrary Loan.
Licensing of the electronic resources is supported by Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German institutions that use CrossAsia (i.e. the Blauer Leihverkehr).
The virtual research environment CrossAsia Campus and the Forum can also be accessed after registering with CrossAsia. Registration is free of charge. Individuals who do not belong to and/or are not associated with an institute that participates in the Blauer Leihverkehr Interlibrary Loan are also welcome to register. Registration for these services is open to anybody worldwide with interest in Asian studies.
