Katsura Library

The 5 separate libraries of the Graduate School of Engineering had been operated since the opening of Katsura campus in October 2003. We integrated these 5 libraries into one new library, "Katsura Library", in April 2020. Katsura Library serves as an Area-Focus Hub Library with a university-wide functionality.

Katsura Library especially focuses on research support for the reason that Katsura campus mainly consists of graduate students and researchers of the Graduate School of Engineering. In terms of facility and equipment, we provide diverse facilities, such as Open Lab, Research Commons, and Media Creation Room to encourage students to engage in intellectual activities and promote collaboration with researchers outside the university. In terms of human support, we promote support services, such as writing support, open access support, and archival support which are necessary for each phase of the research activity cycle.

In addition to these services primarily focused on Katsura campus, Katsura Library serves as an Area-Focus Hub Library, collaborating with other libraries to disseminate the university’s research outcomes and promote open access and open science. We also function as a deposit library for the entire university, consolidating and storing back issues of science and engineering journals, and providing access to these resources to libraries both within and outside the university.
