Collections

The Kashiwa Library, the University of Tokyo, as the central library of the Kashiwa Campus, provides research and learning books for students and faculty members of the campus.
Since the research fields of the graduate schools and research institutes on the Kashiwa Campus are mainly science and engineering, and because they are often used by students, we have a large selection of books for learning science and engineering.
 

Books

If you want to find a book, please search at the "UTokyo OPAC".
* The materials labeled "Kashiwa. Lib. Open" and "Kashiwa. Lib. Ref" are the books of the Kashiwa Library.

Please refer to "Types and Arrangement of Materials" for the location of the materials.
 

Back Number of Natural Science Journals

The Kashiwa Library, the University of Tokyo, stores and provides about 390,000 back numbers of natural science journals (as of March 2020) in the automated storage.

On-campus users can view the papers in these journals from the on-campus laboratories using the PDF Request Service. You can also visit the library and use the journals from the automated storage.
* Initial registration is required to use the PDF Request Service.

* Each library at the University of Tokyo collects, stores, and provides materials individually, but in recent years it has become difficult to secure storage space for materials. Therefore, we have set up an automated storage with high storage efficiency in the Kashiwa Library to collect and store back numbers of university-wide natural science journals.

If you want to find journals, please search at the "UTokyo OPAC".
* Materials whose holdings are labeled as "Kashiwa. Lib. Stack" are held in the automated storage of the Kashiwa Library.
