For reference

・Titles which are already owned by Kyoto University can be searched via KULINE.

・List of titles which are available to academic institutions

Titles are sorted by platform and classified by type. Please use the classifications to narrow down the lists. Some titles are provided in multiple platforms

*Please note that the files are large, so downloading them may require some time.

*Due to the large size of the files, they may not be viewable on some smartphones and tablets.

・ All lists are last updated on July 2023.

・ Although the number of eBooks available to academic institutions is smaller than the number available to individuals, it still comprises a very large number of titles. The lists include only a partial selection of the eBooks that are available, so please do not hesitate to recommend eBooks that are not included in the lists, and we will check their availability.  

Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated. Your recommendations help us to enhance our eBook collection, and will also be used as reference when requesting publishers to provide digital versions of their books.

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.

It will be temporarily unavailable around 9:00 on August 21 due to switching to the new system.

Future Plans

With the renewal of KULINE on August 21, the page structure within KULINE has been changed.
As a result, some URLs have broken links.

If you experience broken links, please reset your links and bookmarks.

URL of the top page

Current KULINE can still be accessed from the URL of the former KULINE home page (https://kuline.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp).

URL of each page other than the top page

The page structure has changed due to the renewal, so the link is broken.
Please reset your links and bookmarks.

Bibliographic shortened URL

The same current KULINE bibliography can also be accessed from the former KULINE's shortened URL, which begins with https: / / m.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp / webopac /.

However, for the following URLs, the bibliography has been re-created and links and bookmarks must be reset.

• Electronic journal bibliography (URL beginning with https://m.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/webopac/EJ)
• Part of an e-book bibliography (part of a URL beginning with https://m.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/webopac/EB)
