Interpreting Search Result

We have both print and electronic resources in our library collections. The first thing to do with your search result is to figure out the format of the library material. Here are the examples of books in print and digital format. If you find the location and call number, it is a print book. If you find the phrase 'Available Online,' the item is an ebook.

Write down the Location and Call Number before heading to the shelf. They are necessary to locate the book. Each book has a spine label with its call number printed on it. The label helps you find the book.

• The Location shows the locational information such as building, floor and section.
• The Call Number is a combination of numerals and characters assigned to a library book to indicate its place on a shelf. It is usually printed on a spine label and functions like an address.

Accessing Books at the Libraries on Other Campuses

The call number system and book arrangement rule differ among Keio University Libraries. For details, check the guide of the corresponding library.

The borrowing procedure is same at all Media Centers. All you have to do is bring the book and your student ID to the circulation counter. The lending rule depends on your affiliation and status.

Try InterLibrary Loan. You may also visit libraries outside Keio University, or ask us to add the book to our library collection.
