About Library Card
Teaching Assistants (TAs), Research Institute Assistants (RIAs), and Kenkyuin (Research Fellows) are eligible to use the library throughout the academic year during which their appointment is in effect.
A library card is required for entry to the library and borrowing materials. However, TAs who are enrolled in this university’s master’s or doctoral programs will be treated as students and should use their student ID card issued by the Educational Affairs Group.
