"100 books for new students" is a unique book-reading enlightenment project of Kansai University that started with the idea of "wanting to put the brakes on young people's lack of reading."This year will be the 6th year.In addition to 20 books recommended by President Yutaka Maeda, it consists of 40 books each recommended by Maruzen Yushodo and Kinokuniya Bookstores, and about 100% of the 8 books are provided as e-books that can be accessed at any time.Books that are not available as e-books can be viewed and lent out at the libraries on each campus.In addition, the books for this project were arranged with the cooperation of the Kansai University Education Support Association, which is a parent association, and are positioned as gifts from parents to children.
Kansai University has held a variety of events related to "100 books for new students" in the General Library and other venues. In 2022, we will set up "100 Omikuji", and although it is a simple plan to write information on one of the 100 Omikuji, it is popular that you can get a random book in a field that you are not familiar with. 1 people used it in a month.In addition, in November, a lecture will be held as a project to delve deeply into one book from 1 books.
