★What do I do when I don't find the materials I'm looking for on the [Bib Search] tab? (Part 1)
- check the Kanji and spelling of keywords to see whether they are correct.
- Are searching by "Article title" or "Article author"? Try searching by serial title.
When you want to search by "Article title" or "Article author," try searching from the [Article Search] tab. In such cases, you may also be able to read the text of electronic journals from a personal computer. - If you still do not find the materials you are looking for, try searching from the [Other Univ.] tab or [Cross Search] tab.
If you can confirm that the library of another institution possesses the materials you are looking for, you may be able to go directly to that library to use the materials there or get them from the library.

What do I do when I want to extend the borrowing period of a loaned out book?
1. First, log in to OPAC.
2. "User Inquiry" appears after login. Click "Borrowing" there.
3. "Borrowing list" appears. Place a check mark beside each material you want to renew, and click [Renew].
In "Borrowing list," you can check the borrowing status: where (borrowing library), what (bibliography information), and when (Due Date).
4. Click [OK] in the pop-up.
5. The update is completed when the return date is extended.
If the update cannot be completed, the screen displays this fact and the reason for it.
From "Borrowing list", you can check the number of renewals by clicking "Bibliography information" for loaned out materials.
Note the following points concerning renewal.
- Renewed return dates are calculated based on the special online rules of each holding library.
- An online renewal is updated on the day that the update process is executed. Note that the borrowing period is not an added period from the due date.
- Renewal is not possible in the following cases:
- Materials for "holiday loan"
- Materials already reserved by another user
- Overdue materials and materials in a restricted borrowing period
- Where update may not be possible depending on the material type (textbooks, serials, etc.)
How do I cancel a reservation?
1. Log in to OPAC.
2. Click "Reservation" from User Inquiry on the OPAC top page.
3. The reservation list screen appears. Place a check mark beside the material whose reservation you want to cancel, and click [Cancel Reservation].
4. Click [OK] in the pop-up.
5. "Canceled" appears under Status upon the completion of the reservation cancellation.
★What happens when materials become overdue or have borrowing restrictions?
Be sure to return all materials within their borrowing period.
[Notice]
- Cancellation of a borrowing restriction takes effect on OPAC at about 6:00 a.m. on the cancellation date.
If you are a user whose borrowing is restricted but you want to renew or reserve different materials currently checked out from the same library/room, do so after 6:00 a.m. on the borrowing restriction cancellation date. - Libraries/rooms have book drops. Any materials returned after hours to the book drop of a library are basically considered returned on the previous business day with the return processed on the next business day.
- Library/room use privileges may be suspended for long overdue accounts.
- Overdue materials and materials with penalties incurred at a library/room can be borrowed from another library/room. They can also be reserved and renewed from OPAC.
- Even if your account still had overdue materials and a borrowing restriction, you could apply from OPAC to copy a book (get a copy from another library) and borrow a book (back-order the actual book). You could also make a library purchase request (* Being prepared).
What is [Reserve Book] in the catalog search menu under the keyword input box on the [Bib Search] tab?
Reserve Book enables you to view a list of syllabuses, instructor-specified textbooks, reference books, etc.
You can change the display target from the pull-down menu.
What are the reviews displayed on the review list screen?
By clicking the RSS icon, you can check newly registered reviews in the RSS reader you normally use.
You can register a review from the bibliography details screen.
What are the tags displayed on the tag search screen?
You can search for a tag on the tag search screen to display a list of materials that have this tag.
Suppose you add a tag such as the following: "_____ seminar reference book" or "A must read for _____ class." Then, after a tag search, anyone can bring up the same list of materials.
For example, try clicking a tag in "New tags," "Recent tags," or "Popular tags." Then, materials that have these tags are displayed.
You can register tags on the search result list screen and the bibliography details screen.
