Outline of Library
The library is a light and airy space that is conducive to nursing, medical and natural sciences centered study and research.
The semicircular two story layout of the library provides ample study space with seating for 48 downstairs and 32 upstairs, including some seats that have built-in plugs for laptop computer use. In addition, there are 3 multi-media booths and 6 information search booths.
The Library Collection
The collection consists of around 61,000 titles in the fields of health, medicine and welfare, around 140 periodical subscriptions (including digital journals) (around 650 periodicals in stock), and approximately 2,100 titles of audio-visual material. As a unique feature of our library we have set up a corner dedicated to materials relating to earthquakes and disaster nursing with a focus on community materials, and materials related to the 2004 Chuetsu Earthquakes and the 2007 Chuetsu Offshore Earthquake. A bibliography of titles relating to earthquakes and disaster nursing is published on our homepage. Our collection can be searched using WebOPAC.
