University Library

The university library was opened in June 1949. After several changing to names, repairing, extensions, and reconstructions of the building, Fuchu library is located on the Fuchu campus, Koganei library, on the Koganei campus.
The libraries on both campuses are open access libraries with materials such as domestic and international books and magazines conveniently arranged for use. In order to offer better services to users, computerization is being promoted in every section, and the online library catalog called OPAC makes it possible to retrieve the titles of approximately 200,000 books and 10,000 magazines. In addition, the university library's Web page provides access to approximately 3,000 electronic journals and leading databases.
The ID cards of both students and staff also serve as a library cards. The card system is used for all services, for example the entering and leaving of the library, lending/returning materials as well as the reservation service. An automatic lending/returning service machine is also available.
Freshmen, as a part of basic seminar classes, receive an introduction to the functions of the library and how to use the materials. Seniors, who belong to laboratories, receive "Guidance on Researching Literatures in Science and Technology" (compiled by the library and issued in March 2003) as their textbook. This textbook has become publicly available on the website since a revised version was published in March 2004.
