A Campus Card (student/other ID cards) is needed to enter the Library. It is also needed to borrow books, take them out temporarily, or to use a private study or group study room.

* University students and personnel must show their student or other ID card when they establish their identity or use the University’s facilities. They must always carry their ID card with them when they come to the University.
The ID card is called the “Campus Card” because it has additional functions,
such as for using the Library.
Borrowers should first confirm whether a barcode sticker for the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Library or the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa is affixed to the books or other materials they wish to borrow.
- If such a barcode sticker is affixed, bring the books or materials and your
Campus Card to the Service Counter.
*Borrowing hour is until 15 min. before closing time

each item (available at the writing stand), and bring it to the Service Counter together with
your Campus Card and the items you want to borrow.
*Borrowing hour is 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
The Campus Card (student or other ID card) serves as a borrowing card for the
Library.

affixed and magazines, cannot be borrowed. If you
wish to use these materials outside the Library, complete the procedures for

temporary borrowing. Complete a blue Library reading form available at

Counter by 15 minutes prior to the closing time of the same day. (Do not put

Service Counter or put them in the book return box in the Browsing Hall.
When the Library is closed, you can return items by using book
return box in the Entrance Hall.
