Library

The Temple University, Japan Campus, Library system consists of two library facilities, one at each of our campus center locations: Tokyo (Minami Azabu), and Osaka. Each library is designed to serve the needs of the students and faculty members and to support the courses being taught at each location.


New Online Catalog

The TUJ library catalog is changing. Beginning August 2011 the TUJ library catalog has been merged with the Paley Library catalog in Philadelphia. The links on the TUJ library page have been updated to reflect this change. Please click the link below to search the TUJ catalog from your home or desk computer.



This link will direct your search to just the holdings of the Temple Japan libraries. Your search results will also reflect the e-book resources available to the Temple community. Use your TU log in to access electronic materials. Because of differences in time zones and currencies, notices generated by the system in Philadelphia may be confusing. If you have any questions about the new catalog or if you receive confusing notices, please contact the TUJ library.
