今日も元気で！Kyō mo genki de! [Have a nice day!]  

In the University of Chicago Library catalog, WorldCat, the CRL catalog, and Japanese databases (e.g., JapanKnowledge, CiNii), Japanese script (Chinese characters 漢字 and kana 仮名) can be used for searching; but it is helpful to understand the basic romanization rules for Japanese (i.e., spacing, hyphens, and macrons*).
