[Library Network] Shortened URL of the bibliography after KULINE renewal
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)
