How to search and find items included in the Keio University collections

If you want to know how to search electronic resources, check  [Using E-journals and E-books].

Searching Journals

In order to limit your search to journals, try the item type pull-down, or simply use JOURNAL SEARCH. Type in the journal title and start the search.

 

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 journals in print and digital format. If you find the location, it is a print journal. If you find the phrase 'Available Online,' the item is an ejournal.

 

 

 

Holding Information Overview

The location of a journal issue depends on its publication year. Below is the screenshot of the holdings screen of a journal. The issues are divided into 2 groups according to the publication year, and located separately.

You may click the funnel-shaped icon to figure out which issue is where. 

Locating Journals on Shelves

After confirming the location of the journal issue you are looking for, go to the place directly. The journals are arranged in alphabetical order by title. They do not have call numbers. For the titles in Japanese, just romanize them. Note the journal arrangement rule differs among Keio University Libraries. For details, check the guide of the corresponding library.

Notices on Use of Journals

Most journals are not for loan. In most cases, they are for in-library use only. You may take photocopies instead of borrowing. Be aware of the Japanese Copyright Act. It bans duplication of the copyrighted works under certain circumstances, such as the latest issue of a journal.

For your reference: Learn about Copyright  *in Japanese only

 

 

Not Available at Keio University Libraries?

 As a general rule, the hard copies of journals, except for those housed in Yamanaka Book Depository, are not for delivery service. As an alternative, you may ask for photocopies within the copyright law.
