About Fukushima University Repository

This is the official website of the Fukushima University Library (附属図書館), which uses the nickname フクニチャージ図書館. Its main job is to help users search the library's catalog (OPAC) for books, electronic journals and e-books, and to browse the university's institutional repository, FUKURO_. The site also links to a list of research databases, a cross-search of libraries in Fukushima Prefecture, and services for requesting books and articles.

The site lists a digital collections section marked as in preparation, so the digital collections described in the directory listing are not yet fully available. Some services are temporarily suspended or closed, as shown in recent notices. Access to electronic resources from outside the university has a separate access method page, and the homepage does not describe its conditions. The main interface is in Japanese, though an English user guide is listed. No pricing information is stated.
