Kyodo World Service Access Update (March 18)
Dear Members,
From March 18, access to Kyodo World Service (KWS) will change. Members will be able to access and print from KWS on any of the available Library computers.
Personal devices connected to the 6F Library Wi-Fi may also access KWS. Due to KWS formatting, laptops and tablets are recommended, however smartphones may also be utilized. Members who do not currently utilize the Library Wi-Fi will need to ask Library staff for the password to utilize a personal device.
Lastly, Kyodo News will remove their dedicated terminal and printer on March 31.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Library staff.
