Common Library Browsing System

Overview

The common browsing system is a system that can be used mainly to browse materials held by libraries of member universities and junior colleges of the University Consortium Kyoto, just by presenting an ID card (student ID card, faculty and staff ID).
* Some libraries of universities and junior colleges do not participate, so please check in advance.

The purpose of the common browsing system is to revitalize education and research and improve user services by taking advantage of the number and characteristics of the collections and characteristics of each participating university and junior college library. A number of consortium-type common browsing systems have already been implemented in other regions, and their mutual use through simple procedures has been highly evaluated by users.
Since the terms of use (operation start date, usage method, time zone, services provided, etc.) differ depending on each university library, please be sure to check the "Usage Guide" of the "List of participating universities and junior college libraries of the Consortium of Universities Kyoto Common Browsing System" in advance. We look forward to your active use.

In order to build a common browsing system that transcends the framework of national, public, and private universities, the University Consortium Kyoto has established a common browsing project within the Library Joint Project Review Committee since fiscal 2003 and has been promoting specific initiatives. In May 2005, the outline of the system was compiled, and the Board of Directors and Board of Trustees meeting held on October 22, 2005 proposed and approved the launch of a common browsing system.

Confirmation procedure when using the common browsing system

Step 1: Please check the participating universities and junior college libraries and usage categories.

Step 3: Please check the detailed information on the library of participating universities and junior colleges.

If you wish to view the materials without fail, we recommend that you conduct a survey using the "Collection Survey and Inspection Request Form". At the libraries of member universities and junior colleges of the University Consortium Kyoto that participate in the common browsing system, the use of a unified format simplifies procedures and ensures faster use than before. This document cannot be applied for by yourself, so please complete the procedure at the library of your university in advance.
