学外の皆様へ

Starting Tuesday, December 14, 2021, the library will reopen to visitors (former faculty-staff, and alumni) who have a library user card.

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we are continuing to reduce the number of seats and restrict the use of some spaces, resulting in a shortage of carrel.

Therefore, we ask that you use the materials held by the University for the purpose of borrowing books, research, or copying documents, and use in the shortest possible time.
