Visiting Meiji University Libraries
If your library user wishes to use material from our library, certain procedures need to be undertaken in advance. Please contact the campus library which your user wishes to make use of. You can also make delivery requests for materials that are held by other campus libraries and make use of them at the library that the user wishes visit. (For example, Ikuta library books can be used at the Central library.)
How to submit
- Check holdings on WebOPAC.
- Email a request to the campus library which the user wishes to visit. Include the following information:
- Title, (Volume), Call number
- User’s name
- Visiting date or period
- After receiving our reply, issue a letter of introduction and hand it to the user. On the day of the visit, the user needs to bring the letter of introduction and some ID.
The format of the letter of introduction is not fixed, but it must state the title(s), the call number(s), the user’s name, and the date of use (or period). If the user wishes to use the material on more than one day, the user will need one letter of introduction for each day of use. Please ensure that the necessary number of letters of introduction are prepared and given to the user.
