As the academic year draws to a close, why not take a moment to reflect on your studies and research at Kyoto University? We imagine books have always been a constant presence. For you,

• The books that shaped who you are today
• The books that shaped your research
• The books you want to talk about their appeal

...what are they?
We have collectively named them “Core Books.”

Please introduce one of your cherished Core Books.

Fill out and submit the following questionnaires (https://forms.gle/hcwrfREWr36eQCLW6) to display the "keyword." At the Library Counter 2, show the “Keyword” screen (displayed on your smartphone) and your student ID to the staff. 

Participants who respond will receive original library goods (not for sale). 

The redemption period is February 16 to March 31.

The Education Center for Japanese Language and Culture of the ILAS operates a Japanese Language Resource Room to support the learning of our international students.

Main Library has established a new "Books on Japan" section to enable more individuals to access books for Japanese language learning and understanding Japanese culture.
We have carefully selected materials recommended by Centre faculty members. 
Alongside Japanese Language Resource Room, we hope you will find this section useful for your daily studies and research.

この度、附属図書研究開発室主催によりセミナー「大学におけるAIと倫理」を開催します。

　AI（人工知能）技術の活用は急速に私たちの日常生活の一部になりつつありますが、AI技術の進歩がもたらす私たちの社会生活や思考パターンの変化は、まだ十分に明らかになっていません。一方で、プライバシーや著作権の侵害、差別やバイアスの助長をはじめ、AIを活用することによる新たな倫理的な課題については、すでに多く指摘されています。
　本セミナーでは、3人の先生方のご講演を通して、特に大学というアカデミックな環境において、私たちがどのようにこれらの倫理問題に向き合いつつ、新しい教育環境を創出していくべきか、その道筋を探ります。
