Visiting the Library
Before you visit
A written letter of introduction (or application for use of materials) issued by a library is required in order to visit our university library.
Please consult your institution's library/office or a public library to obtain a letter of introduction.
The letter of introduction should list the material(s) you wish to browse.
If you plan to visit the library on more than one day, you will need a letter of introduction for each day.

Advance notifications are accepted by fax up to the day before you wish to use the service.
The advance notification must be sent from the library that issues the letter of introduction, not by the person who wishes to use the library.
The following information must be included in an advance notification.
- Name of the material you wish to browse, and whether you wish to reserve it
- Preferred date and time of visit
- Name and affiliation of the person visiting the library
Please note that you may be requested to change the date and time.
