List of Opinions and Questions
- I hope that JAIST Library website (for JAIST members) includes the direct link to the login screen of User Service (JAIST OPAC).
- I study mathematics in the library and there are many mathematical books. Practice is important in study of mathematics, but the library does not have so many practical guides. I think the library should have more guides for mathematical practices.
- I hope there were more novels in the Library. The books on the shelf seem not organized.
- I want to know the due date of the books borrowed from public libraries through MyLibrary
- I would like to see the lists of textbooks/reference books for other terms.
- I hope there were a new books area.
- I think it is convenient that user can make book purchase request online.
