How to use the services

An MG card (library ID card) is required to access the library. It can be used on both Shirokane and Yokohama campuses.
For undergraduate and graduate students, the “student ID card” serves as a library ID card. For faculty members, the “faculty ID card” serves as a library ID card.
Emeritus professors, part-time lecturers, and registered researchers can apply for an MG card (library ID card) at the library. Please bring documents (e.g. driver's license or residence certificate) that confirm your current address.

Entrance to the library

Please use your library ID card to open the gate at the entrance. If you forget to carry your library ID card, complete the entry procedures at the circulation counter to access the library. However, you cannot borrow books without your library ID card.

Exit from the library

Please use the exit gate. An alarm will sound if anyone attempts to take books or materials out of the library that have not been signed out through the correct lending procedures and the gate will lock automatically. You may be asked to confirm the contents of your bag(s) if the alarm rings.
