Library and Reference Room Usage Guidelines

The Institute's Reference Room provides access to books, documents, and other materials collected and organized by the institute. These materials are available for use in research and study conducted at our institute, as well as for JIIA members and non-mebers who make a reservation in advance. We encourage you to take advantage of this service.
We look forward to your visit. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

All JIIA publications (columns, forum lecture summaries, research reports, presentation materials, and others) may be freely cited as open source, provided that the source is clearly indicated.
When citing, please inform us of the title, author, and publication in which the citation appears via the "Contact Form" so that we can use it as a reference for research results and information dissemination that better meet social needs.

The JIIA Repository

On February 23, 2019, JIIA launched its institutional repository, the JIIA Repository, following approval by the National Institute of Infomatics (NII), which recognized JIIA as a research institution that disseminates academic information. Through this digital library system, JIIA makes its research outputs openly acessible, alongside those of universities and other research institutions.
