: Good libraries for printed research material?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering which libraries you guys use to find noteworthy academic sources for research.
More specifically, I'm writing a research paper for comparative government and politics focusing on East Asian countries (China & Taiwan, Japan, N/S Korea and the lot).

I'm used to going to the SFU library for resources, but as of late I'm finding the particular material there not too helpful. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

you don't have access to their database?

I do, but I'm really just looking for already published academic sources outside of their database.

That makes no sense to me. Their DB is huge. You also have access to Google Scholar. It's all legit.

But ask the librarians at SFU to see if they can help you find more sources. It's their job to know where to find stuff like this so it's ok to ask.
