Please call 472-9427. Reference materials and selected rare books cannot be taken from the library. Other books and audiotapes can be checked out for two weeks.
Videos are due in one week.
As time allows, we also attempt to answer questions from community members who are able to visit the KRR or call during office hours. The KRR has a small staff and limited collection, so there are many areas we are unable to assist. The Libraries of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln also have many resources on Japan. We are unable to respond to reference questions by e-mail. Staff Reiko Ogawa Harpending is the Director of the Kawasaki Reading Room for Japanese Studies.
