How to Use Online References

You can ask for reference service online. You can submit your inquiries through MyWaseda. The answer will be given by an e-mail. Below are the examples of the inquiries.

  • I can’t find the books/ journals for my research. Where can I use the materials I am looking for.
  • I do not know how to use WINE (library catalog) and other search engine tools.
  • I want to know about 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.
