Notice : Delays and difficulties in obtaining materials from other universities in December and January may occur.

Due to the suspension of Inter-Library Loan (ILL) system (1/23-1/31), it may be difficult to order books or photocopies from January onwards.
This system is used by the most of the university libraries in Japan, and we anticipate that there will be a significant impact on the number of libraries that will stop accepting ILL requests before and after the system shutdown period.

[Available] Suspension of remote access to the Maruzen eBook Library

The Suspension has finished around 18:30 on October 28th.

On October 25th, the provider informed us that a large number of accesses to the Maruzen eBook Library occurred from our university.
Remote access to the Maruzen eBook Library has been suspended because access from the remote access server that was the source of the outbreak has been blocked by the provider.
We are currently checking the facts.
It is possible to access from the campus network.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but your understanding would be appreciated.
