This exhibition was aimed at new students who joined Tokyo Tech in April 2016. Selected books included works on university study experiences, plans and objectives regarding life after university studies, and other topics that library supporters thought new students might find useful — computer software, English studies, and scientific writing. The selections were accompanied by reviews written by the library supporters who selected the books. Flyers containing the titles and comments were also handed out on campus.
