Thank you for your understanding.

Typhoon No.15 is approaching, so we will inform you again.
About up-to-date information on the opening hours and closure of Main Library, please access to @kumainlib.

The policy on the opening hours and closure of Main Library in the case of a typhoon.

If a typhoon is coming, we decide whether the library is closed or not based on the following policy.

• We judge it from the information published by the Meteorological Agency (Kyoto Local Meteorological Office).
• The information that we use covers the area that includes City of Kyoto.

■ When we close the library

1. During the opening hours

If the area is included in a strong wind area and an emergency warning or a storm warning is likely to be issued in the next three hours, we will close the library in one or two hours.

2. Before the opening hours (weekdays)

If an emergency warning or a storm warning has been issued before 6:30, we will NOT open the library.

3. Before the opening hours (weekends and holidays)

If an emergency warning or a storm warning has been issued before 7:30, we will NOT open the library.

■ When we open the library

1. Weekdays

We will open the library one and half hours after the emergency warning or the storm warning is cancelled.
(If we can’t come to the library, we will open it after we have come and finished preparation for opening hours.)

Notice: If it is after 5pm, we will not open.

2. Weekends and holidays

We will open the library one and half hours after the emergency warning or the storm warning is cancelled.
(If we can’t come to the library, we will open it after we have come and finished preparation for opening hours.)

Notice: If it is after 2pm, we will not open.

[Main Library Academic Support Section]

A new “plug-in” authentication system to access licensed e-journals and databases provided to Kyoto University members will be introduced in the beginning of October 2019.
This is to update the authentication system to match the current Internet environment and to provide better service for the university members.

Tentative Timetable

13th September 2019     Trial operation of the new system to be started and the plug-in to be released
1st October 2019             Official launch of the new system and the current system to be stopped: E-resources will be accessible only by using the designated plug-in.

The plug-in is only compatible with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Therefore, the system doesn’t support access from other browsers or devices to which the plug-in cannot be installed, such as smartphones and tablet devices (iOS, Android).

The details are as follows.（on-campas）
