Kyoto University Library System to Undergo Scheduled Maintenance, OSL Service Interruption Expected
Kyoto, Japan – August 6, 2025 – Kyoto University Library Organization has announced a period of scheduled system maintenance for its Online Services Library (OSL). The maintenance is slated to take place from August 25th to August 27th, 2025. During this time, users can expect a temporary interruption of OSL services.
This proactive maintenance is a critical step in ensuring the continued reliability, security, and optimal performance of the university’s digital library resources. Regular system upkeep is essential to provide a seamless and efficient experience for students, faculty, and researchers who rely on the OSL for accessing a vast array of academic materials, databases, and digital collections.
While the exact nature of the upgrades and improvements is not detailed in the announcement, such maintenance typically involves software updates, hardware checks, and security enhancements. These efforts are aimed at safeguarding user data and ensuring the longevity of the digital infrastructure that supports the university’s academic endeavors.
During the maintenance window, access to the OSL platform will be unavailable. This means that users will not be able to search the library catalog, access e-journals and e-books, utilize interlibrary loan services, or engage with other functionalities provided through the OSL.
Kyoto University Library Organization extends its apologies for any inconvenience this temporary service disruption may cause. They understand the importance of uninterrupted access to research materials and have scheduled this maintenance during a period that aims to minimize impact on core academic activities.
It is strongly recommended that all users plan their research and access needs accordingly, ensuring any critical tasks that rely on the OSL are completed prior to the commencement of the maintenance period.
Following the completion of the maintenance on August 27th, 2025, the OSL is expected to be fully operational and enhanced, offering an improved user experience. Further updates or specific details regarding the maintenance schedule and any potential early completion will be communicated by the Kyoto University Library Organization through their official channels.
