The usage regulations of the Chiyoda Campus Library have been amended as follows.
1. Change of material categories and loan periods
From February 16, 2022, we will add a new category of “Books for Study" to the materials in the Chiyoda Campus Library. We will change the loan period from “2 weeks" to “Same as the Main Library". Except “Books for Study", graduate students can borrow books for two months and faculties can borrow books until the end of the fiscal year. However, if a book is reserved for more than two months after the check-out date, we may ask you to return it.
The new loan period will be effective for loans and renewals after 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2022.
Click here for the list of material categories and loan periods at the Main Library.
Penalties for overdue materials will be applied from April 1, 2022. The penalty period for materials borrowed from the Chiyoda Campus will be the same as that for the Central Library. During the penalty period, no new materials can be checked out or renewed. (The number of days you are late from the due date, up to 60 days, with a grace period of 10 days)
