[Bib Search] allows you to perform a search.
Perform your search from the [Bib Search] tab.
If you do not find the material with [Bib Search], you may get it from another university library for a fee.
You can search other universities from the [Other Univ.] tab and the [Cross Search] tab.
The Cross Search can search the National Diet Library and local library book collections.
The National Diet Library is struggling to store all the books published in Japan.
2. To search materials for a serial
Serials are basically the same as books.
However, our serials consist of the printed versions held in the library and the electronic journals provided through agreement with the publishers and others. You can check the electronic journals from your personal computer.
[Article Search] makes it convenient to search for an electronic journal.
3. To search materials for an article
Perform a search from the [Article Search] tab.
From Basic Search on [Article Search], you can perform a search without specifying a specific search site.
To perform a search specifying a specific search site, do so from Advanced Search.
The pop-up blocker appears when I reserve or copy materials or apply for an inter-library loan.
* The screenshot is from Internet Explorer 9. The pop-up blocker appears in different locations depending on your browser and version. For details, see the help of the respective browser.
The pop-up screen is used for all applications from OPAC, such as for a reservation, ILL, or new arrival alert. Therefore, enable pop-ups by using the following method. (The descriptions apply to Internet Explorer 9.)
- Temporarily allowing the pop-up blocker
Click [Allow once] on the pop-up blocker notification bar.
(Depending on the browser version, select "Temporarily Allow Pop-ups.")
* However, with this method, if the browser is closed once, the pop-up blocker is enabled when the browser is started again. Consequently, the same work will need to be repeated to apply for a reservation or ILL in OPAC.
- Always allowing the pop-up blocker
Click "Always allow" from [Options for this site] on the pop-up blocker notification bar.
(Depending on the browser version, click the notification bar, and select "Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site.")
* Safari users are requested to go to Security in the browser settings menu to confirm that no check mark is entered in the "Block Pop-up Windows" check box.
* If you are a Google Chrome user, click here.
After enabling pop-ups as described above, repeat the procedure for your application from the beginning.
