What is GACoS ?: It is the gateway site for academic information search. It has functions to search for academic search tools available at the University of Tokyo, links to services outside the university, and schedules and textbooks of classes on how to search for reference materials and to use reference
management tools. More detailed explanation will be on "GACoS" and will be updated accordingly.

Besides the General Library, Komaba Library, and Kashiwa Library, each Faculty/Department has its own library at the University of Tokyo, and the whole libraries are called "University of Tokyo Library System".
To use any of the libraries, you first need to make "user's registration". Please go to your department library with your student (faculty) ID card for registration. (This procedure is unnecessary for 1st and 2nd year students of the College of Arts and Sciences and students above 3rd year that are registered to UTAS (UTokyo Academic affairs System).)
After the registration, you can enter all the University of Tokyo libraries by showing your student/faculty ID card.
Borrowing books and journals is available with your ID card. (Some libraries do not provide borrowing service.)
"The University of Tokyo Library OPAC (UTokyo OPAC)" allows you to search collections of the libraries in the University of Tokyo. By logging in on "My OPAC" on the page of UTokyo OPAC, you can make book reservation, book delivery requests, renewing borrowed materials, and library book purchase requests.
If there is anything that you are unsure of the library services, feel free to consult your department library counter or submit questions to the librarians using "ASK Service " on UTokyo OPAC.

FAQ
Search by TREE
There are resources such as academic journals, books, theses, newspaper articles, statistics, and conference proceedings, to conduct prior research investigation and checking research trends when writing reports and academic papers. There are search tools (databases) depending on the type of material or research area, and the objective of your search. If you make use of the tools, you will be able to pick up necessary information from the masses of materials effectively.
However, databases are not almighty. There are also other ways to find materials such as looking through the reference list at the end of a paper, browsing the book shelves, and reading the table of contents of a magazine.
There are merits to each alternative which databases do not have.
Although academic information is progressively being made electronic, there is still information that is
available only on printed materials. Keep in mind that the resources outside of the Web may have the information you are looking for.
There are many tools to search for books and papers. "TREE" is a useful tool when you are in a situation where "you do not know which database to use", or "you want to conduct a search to see what kind of papers or books there are from wide range of
information".
TREE(UTokyo REsource Explorer) is simply a service which allows you to search academic information from one search window. You can search for books,
electronic and paper materials all at once without worrying about choosing a database.
TREE is mainly searches within the UTokyo OPAC and databases that the university has contracted with (which permission was given from the providers). So it allows searches in the range of materials that the University of Tokyo students, faculty and staff have an easy access.
However, TREE cannot search through all information. There are materials such as Japanese newspaper databases which are outside of TREE search, so it is important to know how to use individual
databases according to the purpose.

●Let's collect reference materials!
Searching for prior research
Have you ever had trouble finding materials on reference lists at the end of books, papers, or on handouts from classes?
If you know the points to look at reference lists, it will be much easier to look for materials.
Here is an example, but the writing style of reference lists is different for each research area and journal.

・ For printed materials :
If you can not get the material on the web, you can conduct a search on the UTokyo OPAC, check the location of the material, and get the material at the library. There is a service to have materials delivered from other libraries.
You will be able to use services such as copy request (charged) by submitting
"Application form for the MyOPAC delivery request service" to your department library.
The point in search is to search general to specific. What kind of ways are there to search for information efficiently from masses of information?
Do not just end your search after you type in words that you came up with. You can improve your search result by knowing small tips like refining or sorting the results, using AND ・ NOT ・ OR search, phrase search, perfect match search, and thesaurus search.

An academic paper is a writing which you explain your argument on a particular topic by giving logical evidence.
It is basically composed of section for the "Title, Author, and Affiliation", an "Abstract", a "Main text", and a "List of reference", and follows a specific format.
To clearly present your research, a well planned title and expressions in the abstract, and organized structure is important.
Also, when you are using information which you have collected in your search, you need to avoid plagiarism.
You must differentiate othersʼ works from yours clearly, cite and create a reference list correctly.
In writing report assignments and academic papers (especially in English), depending on your
faculty/department, there may be a support service which you can get assistance on structuring and expressions of your writing. There may be seminars for the University of Tokyo students, faculty and staff. There are also classes on writing academic papers.
Also books on how to write report assignments and academic papers are available at the library. Search

Citations in the text and a reference list must follow the format specified by the academic society or the journal you are submitting.
By using a reference management tool, it can download (or you can directly type in the information of the material at hand),
organize the database search result, and automatically create a reference list. Please make use of the reference management tool
"RefWorks", available for free on the Web for the University of Tokyo students, faculty and staff.

When deciding which journal to publish your paper, asking for advice to people who are in the same research field like your supervisor and seniors at your lab will be helpful.
"JCR (Journal Citation Reports)", an academic journal evaluation tool may be helpful to do a search on your own.
You can find the "Impact Factor" of a journal with this tool.
In addition, it may be helpful to search whether a major database contains the journal or not, and the journalʼs intended audience on the publisherʼs web site.
"Open Access" is one of the ways to gain audience by publicizing the paper for free. You can submit your paper to a journal that adopt open access or publicize your paper at "The University of Tokyo Institutional Repository (UTokyo Repository)"(*) to make your paper open access.
(*)Institutional Repository is a system which academic organizations such as universities can archive and disseminate research results.
