Checkout, Renewal, Return

You can check out books either at the circulation counter or with self-checkout machines. 
You need your IC card (student card/staff card/access card) for checkout. If you do not have an IC card, please inquire at the circulation counters. Books and audio-visual materials can be checked out, but journals and reference books are restricted to in-library use. The number of items you can borrow depends on your status.

We provide a Books-by-Mail Service for Tokyo Tech IC card holders who cannnot come to the Libraries.
If you need to use this service, please notify us you cannot visit the Library due to health reasons. We will inform you how to use this service.

You can renew books at the circulation counters or with self-checkout machines until the due date as long as no other user has reserved those items. The new loan period is the same as the original one, starting on the day of the renewal. You can extend the due date three times per items per item through "Online Request". 

The due date cannot be extended in the following cases. 

・You have overdue materials. 
・You are during the loan-suspended period. 
・The item is reserved by another user. 

You can return library materials at either the Ookayama or the Suzukakedai Library. Please return them at the circulation counters or the 24-hour available book returns* beside the entrances. If you miss the due date, you will not be able to borrow, renew, or reserve any items for as many days as you delayed to return.
You can check the due date from "Online Request".

*Do not return books borrowed via ILL Service to the book returns. Please return those books at the circulation counters during the opening hours.

You may return checked-out materials by mail at your own expense. Please contact the address below first.
