How to Use Online References

Online Reference Service is to respond to inquiry on finding materials, investigating particular questions. Here is the example of inquiries.

  • Looking for a library where the material I am looking for is available. Want to know a library to access the material.
  • I do not know how to use WINE (library catalog) and other search engine tools.
  • Looking for a particular agenda or individual, but I have no method to go search.

Reference service is also available at the reference desk of each library. Please feel free to ask a librarian at the desk.
