The University of Tsukuba Library serves as an “academic information infrastructure” supporting learning, teaching, and research across the university, and comprises five libraries: the Central, Physical Education and Arts, Medical, Library and Information Science, and Otsuka libraries. Their combined holdings come to approximately 2.75 million volumes, and because the library uses a fully open-shelf system—rare among Japan’s national universities—users are free to pick up and browse nearly all of its materials, apart from rare books and other special collections. Open on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays alike, it also strives to be “an open university library,” welcoming not only students and researchers but also alumni and members of the local community—another of its distinctive features. This promotional video, “LIFE with LIBRARY,” was created by students of the School of Art and Design under the guidance of our lab. By deliberately using neither captions nor words, it was conceived as a film that reaches everyone beyond the barriers of language—international students among them—seeing the familiar scenes of daily life through fresh eyes. Our aim was to condense the image and appeal of the library and to share it widely with audiences both inside and beyond the university. What appears on screen is not a special day. A hand turning the pages of a book, light spilling in at a window, someone passing a quiet moment in the company of a book—this is the portrait of a library that quietly stays close to the ordinary moments of everyday life.
