The
University Library
provides comprehensive
academic resources
to support Kyushu
Universityfs diverse
studying, teaching
and research activities.
It also extends its
services to neighboring
universities and communities
in the Kyushu region.
The
Library consists of
six general libraries
- the Central Library
on Hakozaki Campus,
the Medical Library
on the Hospital Campus,
the Design Library
on Ohashi Campus,
the Chikushi Library
on Chikushi Campus,
the Ropponmatsu Library
on Ropponmatsu Campus
and the Science and
Technology Library
on Ito Campus.
One
characteristic feature
of the University
Library is the Medical
Libraryfs collection
of domestically rare
foreign periodicals
in the fields of Medicine
and Life Science.
It has been developed
since the Medical
Library was designated
as a member of the
National Center for
Overseas Periodicals
(NCOP) in 1977. After
2000 the library has
been cooperating with
the reorganized Computing
& Communications
Center in promoting
the function of the
electronic resources
center. In addition
to the Libraryfs variety
of databases and e-journals,
information literacy
programs are also
offered to the Library
users.
The
latest library technologies
can be seen in the
Chikushi Library,
which was established
in April |
|
|
2001, unifying all
the library facilities
at Chikushi Campus.
In
April 2004, it was
moved to the new building,
where the automated
storage and retrieval
system and the RFID
(Radio Frequency IDentification)
system have been working
to provide users with
higher quality services.
In
October 2005, The
Science and Technology
Library began its
service on Ito Campus.
Kyushu University
Library is now seeking
to take a new step
as an academic resources
center which links
the university to
the surrounding communities. |
