Dear USJ members,

We prepare a guide for newcomers to familiarize them with our resources. Please spend 5–10 minutes reviewing the following directory.

Website Mapping
The library divides the exhaustive information into four sections.
Find & Borrow: This section combines print and digital resources, such as permanent, subscription-based, and open-access materials. You can gain direct access to the database or journal homepage only when you prefer to search in a single database instead of a discovery search.
Get Help & Support: This section is primarily for library information support. Individuals who are incapable of initiating a research project should read Study & Research. A compilation of resources pertinent to your topic. Instruction, workshops, and training on how to use library resources will be available on this page. The most up-to-date training schedule will be published on the same page.
Libraries & Spaces: This section contains information on library facilities and space, including operational details.
About Us: This section provides details regarding library regulations and other operational units.
