The General Library is working on the following initiatives to make the library comfortable for all students, faculty and staff.

(i) For users with disabilities: installation of wheelchair desks in reading rooms, distribution of barrier-free maps, and digitization services of materials for those who have difficulty reading on paper or printed text. 

(ii) For users with children: establishment of an environment where users with children are able to enter, check out and return materials, browse open-shelf materials and use the photocopier.

(iii) For users who are unable to visit the library due to COVID-19: parcel book delivery and mail photocopy service and providing information on off-campus access service to databases.

(iv) For all students, faculty and staff: creation of posters and web pages to inform about the initiatives (i) to (iii) in the General Library.

In addition to this, international students from on-campus jobs are actively hired as counter staff to respond to inquiries from users in various languages. Also, an exhibition of books on D&I is scheduled for the near future. (As of May 2022)
