How to Buy Books with your Public Research Fund

The following are purchasing steps.
　Placing an order -> Delivery & Receipt -> Check & Acceptance -> (Cataloging) -> Payment

You can place an order with a bookseller by yourself, if the price is less than 500 thousand yen. If you order directly, please surely instruct that payment method is postpaid public expense. You can also ask the library to give the bookseller an order for you.
After the book arrives, the library checks the condition, price, etc. If the book is acceptable, the library stamps on it and sends it to you.
You need to enter your public research fund information into the web system (Japanese language only).
If you use a book for more than a year, it is needed to be managed in the same way as the university assets. In this case, the library catalogs it and lends it to you.
The library makes arrangements for the payment.

For further details, please contact the library.

Journal Subscription

We have a journal subscription inquiry once a year (on June or July). Please submit its form before the deadline.
Term of contract is April to March for Japanese journals, January to December for foreign journals.
There is some possibility that you are not able to start or cancel subscription in the middle of a fiscal year.
Don’t use budget with time-limit like Grant-in-Ade for Scientific Research.

Library Materials for Classes

An application is made in a prescribed form.
