Visitors using wheelchairs

For visitors requiring assistance, such as visitors in wheelchairs, please call for help using the intercom.

Leaving the Library

An alarm will sound and the exit gate will close if a visitor attempts to remove materials without first checking them out. If you trigger the alarm, we are obliged to check your belongings at the library counter before allowing you to leave. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Please note that any of the following objects may accidentally trigger the gate alarm.

  • Materials borrowed from another university through an interlibrary loan
  • CD/DVD rentals, etc.
  • Mobile phones and portable music players
