[Until July 13] Now Recruiting Members for the 2025 Student Book Selection Program!

HULS (Hiroshima University Library Supporter) is now recruiting new members to help us select books for the library!

This is an activity where you choose books from a student’s perspective—books that are useful for university learning or ones you'd recommend to fellow students. The selected books will be placed in the West Library. 

We look forward to your application!


  • Application Period: June 24 (Tue) – July 13 (Sun), 2025
    • Please note that the application may close early if the number of applicants exceeds the limit.
  • We may adjust the selection if there is an imbalance in the departments or years of applicants.
  • Eligibility: Undergraduate and graduate students of Hiroshima University
  • Activities:
    ① Book hunting at a bookstore in Hiroshima City – July to August
    ② Online book selection – July to August
    ③ Displaying the selected books and creating promotional POPs – November to December

The new repository site is now open!

“Hiroshima University Institutional Repository” has moved to the new site due to the system migration.

 URL of the new site: https://hiroshima.repo.nii.ac.jp/

All requests for registration after February 2025 are registered only on the new site.

The new site has several problems, and we are currently investigating the causes.

 ・It takes 40 seconds to open the site.
 ・Some data is not displayed (click here for details).

We are currently receiving many requests and it is taking some time to register.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
