Instructions and Advice on Library Resources and Services

If you have difficulties with finding and locating the library items you need, or doing library research, just talk to a reference librarian. The reference service is for the current members of Keio University. If you are a visitor, please contact us through your home library or a public library. Here are the examples of the services we provide:

• Instructions on KOSMOS
• Instructions on databases and online journals
• Advice on library research
• Obtaining items not held by Keio University
• Paid database search by a librarian
• Issuing a 'letter of introduction' necessary to visit other university's library

We accept your inquiries by the following methods:

• In-Person: Visit us on weekdays at the Reference Counter on the 1st floor.
  Hours: 8:45 a.m.-6:30 p.m. (during semester); 8:45 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (between semesters)
• Ask us!(online forrm): We will get back to you by email within 3 business days.
