Kyoto University Library Network

In August 21, 2023, we plan to renew KULINE, the Kyoto University library search system, in conjunction with the complete system update of the library system.

KULINE will stop updating data from August 11, so the lending status and other information will no longer be up to date, but you can still search the library.
It will be temporarily unavailable around 9:00 on August 21 due to switching to the new system.

Renewal Information

For specific details, please refer to the following announcements for each change:

• KULINE smartphone app and mobile KULINE will be unavailable
• Suspension of MyKULINE due to KULINE renewal (Aug. 7 - 20)

• Records that will and will not be transferred after renewal

[Main Library Electronic Resources Team]

Use of electronic resources including databases, e-journals and e-books subscribed by Kyoto University is subject to copyright laws and licence agreements.
The licences generally prohibit the following uses:

• Systematic and programmatic download
• Usage beyond the private purpose
• Reproducing and distributing

Violation of the licence agreements may result in the suspension of access to e-resources for the whole University.

There have been frequent recent occurrences of users unintentionally downloading or accessing large volumes of data using pre-read browser functions. Pre-read browser functions continually access links within pages in the background while pages are being viewed. As a result of this, large volume data downloads or large volume access of which the user is unaware may occur, even if the user intends to use electronic journals in the standard way. We request your cooperation in disabling these functions by making the below changes to your browser settings.
