Libraries

Journals, books, and other sources of bibliographical information are very important for education and research at a university. In recent years, moreover, there has been a growing need to make use of online databases, electronic journals and other electronic media.

In line with these changes, university libraries are now handling diverse electronic media, improving information search services, and providing information on research results, in addition to their conventional functions of gathering, storing and providing printed materials.

For its part, Tokyo Metropolitan University has library facilities at the Minami Osawa, Hino, Arakawa and Harumi campuses, as well as in each faculty and graduate school.
