to the UTokyo members.

TREE [UTokyo REsource Explorer] is simply a service which allows you to search academic

information from one search window. You can search for books and papers, printed materials, and

electronic version all at once here on TREE.

◆Merits of TREE:

(1) You can search with the author name or article title. TREE simultaneously searches through

printed materials in the library, electronic journals, and e-books. (*See p.6 ” A case which using E-journal and

E-book Portal is more convenient”)

(2) You can access electronic journals and academic information search tools to which the UTokyo is

subscribed for free of charge

(3) Search rules of databases differ depending on the tool. Using TREE enables users to search for

data from multiple databases from one window without considering the different search rules

between search tools.

◆Demerits of TREE:

(1) Searches may return irrelevant results, because of the sheer volume of information TREE searches

(2)If you already know which database will return the most relevant results, or want to use a specific

functions of a database, TREE is not recommended.
