Visitors for academic purposes can enter the library for a short time to browse and borrow materials.

The service is subject to change depending on the future spread of the COVID-19.
In addition, during examination periods and other times, we may ask you to refrain from entering the library in order to give priority to the learning, education, and research of affiliated members.

Browsing and borrowing materials from off-campus

We provide our library materials to visitors for academic purposes by the following methods:

1. For those who are affiliated with other academic institutions, we lend books or send photocopies via your institution.
2. For the general public, we lend books or send photocopies via public libraries.
3. About our rare collections and bulletins, we digitize and make them open to the public online as possible as we can.
