How to use the RCNP library

A.)	On-line Search
Before coming into the library, you can check if the book you want is
served by our library. The on-line catalog of our library is:

       http://www.rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp/Divisions/lib/db/index.html


A1.	RCNP call number
	If you hit the target book, check the 'RCNP call number' which
	suggests where the book is located.

	e.g.	G-99-25				corresponding label
							 ------
		G: classification by contents		|  G   |
		99: year of copyrights (1999)		|  99  |
		25: serial number of the year		|  25  |
							 ------
	5th Floor: C to M, SJ & SE; Japanese Journals,
		   Annual reports of related Institutes
	4th Floor: A, P;  Journals in general

	see Appendix for details

B.) Registration

B1.	All Journals are forbidden to be taken out of the library.
	Please make copies at 4th Floor. 
B2.	Books of "A" field, handbooks and dictionaries etc., are not
	allowed to be taken out.
B3.	Books of "C" to "P" are allowed for 2-weeks use.

	Fill in the tag at the registration desk either on 4th or 5th
	floor. Set the tag on the back of a green substitute and put
	it in place of the book you take. Do not fail to write

	      1) RCNP Call number
	      2) Title of the book
	      3) Your Name!

	at least, so as those who also wish to refer the same book on
	urgent can access to it without fail.


C.) After use

When you finish the book, you may just put it on the book wagon
settled beside the door to the library at 5th floor. These books will
be put back in the shelves by the librarian.
