General Books, Reference Books

Other Library Materials

Be aware that the following library materials are stored in a different location than the general and reference books, regardless of the classification.

In the Central Library, periodicals are broadly classified according to subject.
Please note that periodicals are bound from the autumn through the end of the fiscal year, and cannot be used during the binding process. (The binding status can be checked by clicking on “View back numbers” on the collection search result detail screen.)

Only the base sections of the latest edition (current day) of each paper are placed next to the elevators on the second floor of the Main building.
Other papers are located on the first floor of the Main building.

The archival period of the base sections differs depending on the newspaper; generally, the most recent editions from the past three months to one year are retained. Major newspapers can be checked from the List of Major Newspaper Holdings at the Library (in Japanese).
Please note that reprint editions are divided among three separate locations; next to the elevators on the first floor of the Main building, against the wall immediately after entering the first floor of the Main building, and on the wall rack for reduced-size editions.
