As of July 11, 2023, the problem has been restored.

As of July 5, 2023, there is a problem with the search box (HERMES-Search) and advanced search button on the top page of the library website. When accessing from outside the campus, the search (result) screen of HERMES-Search may not be displayed correctly.

We are currently working on restoring the system. If the screen does not display properly, please access from the campus network or from here without going through the remote access system (Some search results are limited).

Please note that e-journal / e-book List and Database List are available. Please click here for details.

We will shoot a video inside the library as follows.
