Before Visiting
- Before visiting the library, Please contact Central Engineering Library by phone or email. Please let us know date of your visit and title of the book you wish to use. We will check to see if the material you want is in the shelve.
- If you search OPAC, you will find materials that are displayed as "in Laboratory" in the status column. If you would like to use these materials, please allow a week or more from the time of your request. (In some cases, they may not be available for viewing.)
- A letter of introduction is not required. Bring your ID card.
Entering
- Please fill out the form at the service desk.
- Keep valuables in your possession at all times.
Please be quiet at the library.
No food or drink.
Do not use mobile phones.
No smoking.
Holding Materials
- Holding materials can search using OPAC. We hold the materials whose Holding library is displayed as "Eng".
- In the OPAC, if the status of a material is “in laboratory”, it means that the material is currently being used in the laboratory. If you want to use the material, please contact us in advance.
Arrange and Location
- Books are arranged from left to right, top to bottom. First, in the order of the classification number printed on the first column of the spine label. And then, in the alphabetical order of the author symbol (the first letter or letters of the author's last name) printed on the second column.
The classification number and the author symbol are collectively called the "Call Number" and can be checked on the OPAC. - Journals are arranged in alphabetical order of the titles. (Non-Japanese: ABC, Japanese: Kana)
