Japanese Library

What's Japanese Library?  Japanese Library is funded by the Staff Club and is owned by the SUJaS.  The Library consists of unique collections of Japan-related materials (films, music CDs, books, etc) for exclusive use by both Japanese and non-Japanese members.

Where is the Library located?  The Library is currently located in a private premise, but we are hoping to find a suitable location within the University.

To borrow items from the Library

Step 1. Become a SUJaS member and get a SUJaS membership card (Click HERE to find out how to become a member)

Step 2. Join at the Library Open Day (see Event) or view the library catalogue online (Click HERE to view the library catalogue) or search from our library search site.

Step 3. Choose items you wish to borrow and contact Miyuki (M.Morioka@soton.ac.uk) indicating your membership ID and item IDs you wish to borrow. She will then arrange a date to hand your ordered items. At Library Open Day, you can view and borrow items on the day.

How many items can I borrow?  Currently, first-time users of the Library are allowed to borrow 1 item only. After successful return of the borrowed item before the agreed date (no renewal is allowed), you can borrow up to 3 items at any time. 

How long can I borrow?  You can borrow library items for 3 weeks from the issue date. You can renew the borrowed items only once (an extension of 3 weeks). Please contact Miyuki (M.Morioka@soton.ac.uk) for an approval of your renewal request.  Please note, renewal of library items is not allowed for first-time users.

How do I return borrowed items?  Return Box is located at the Staff Club entrance (in front of the Arlott Bar entrance, used to be the Staff Club reception desk) on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1 pm and 2 pm. Please remember to bring your membership card when returning borrowed items. You can also return items at SUJaS events. If none of the timings above are suitable for you, please contact Miyuki (M.Morioka@soton.ac.uk).
