Library Guidance

We will inform you of the library services exclusively available for GSID students.
For other information, please refer to the GSID library website.

Term: Spring semester guidance has ended
Target: New students (No need to take this if you have already taken with other status, but it is possible.)
The guidance for new students is available on TACT for the above periods. Take the course as soon as possible to learn how to use the library and prepare for classes.
This guidance consists of 6parts divided into 5sets of video viewing and check test submission and just submitting a check test. The entire course requires about one to one and a half hours of your time, but if you divide it into parts, you can take this in your spare time.

This is currently being prepared. We will inform you when it becomes available.
Term: Current academic year
Target: GSID students
It is common to search for literature using research topics as keywords, but it is also common to have difficulty finding literature that has the content you have in mind. That’s why we’ve designed this to give you some tips on how to search for academic materials.

Composition

Introduction; Let’s start your keyword search with bibliographic databases : Specialized databases are recommended for literature searches using research topics as keywords.
A; What’s next after searching books in OPAC searches : We will teach you how to search for academic materials using OPAC as an entry point of keyword searches.
B; Searching, saving, and citing articles : We will introduce you to a series of steps from searching for articles using a bibliographic database to describing the saved bibliographic data as references for your own paper.

Many databases have help pages and tutorial sites, so please take a look if you have any trouble.
