[IMPORTANT] From October 1, the designation of some collections in the Central Library’s storage area as semi-rare collections (for library use only in principle)

From October 1, some collections inherited from the predecessor school and various collections stored in the Central Library's storage area will be designated as semi-rare collections and, in principle, will be limited to library use only.
The majority of these collections were acquired before the founding of Kanazawa University, and as the collection as a whole has become increasingly rare, the focus of management will be shifted to preservation.
Please understand the purpose and use it in the following way from October 1.
 
■ Collections to become semi-rare collections
The Fourth High School Collection, The Ishikawa Normal School Collection, The Kanazawa Higher Normal School Collection, Akegarasu Collection, Urai Collection, Kishi Collection, Komai Collection, Hojo Collection, Tsingtao Collection, Atoji Collection, Kaneto Collection
*There will be no changes to the operation of journals in the Central Library's storage areas.
 
■Changes
① Browsing in the library: You can view materials in the strage area as usual, but you cannot make copies using the copy machines in the library.
Taking photographs using digital cameras, smartphones, etc. is permitted for personal use (please submit a "Document Copying Application Form (private)").
② Borrowing outside the library: Loans are possible if faculty members of our university wish to use the materials outside the library for research purposes.
