How Can I Request a Photocopy of an Article or Borrowing a Book from Other Libraries?(Matsue)


 

Books or Periodicals not held by Shimane University can be requested photocopying or borrowing from other university libraries or the National Diet Library, if they have them. This is a service available only to Shimane University members.
Please note that periodicals, textbooks, new arrivals, rare books, and other materials that the library deems unavailable for lending cannot be ordered. For periodicals, photocopy of an article is available.
Please check that the book is not held on OPAC and apply for it through MyOPAC.
We contact you by e-mail such as arriving the book or copy. If your mail address has not been registered, please register on MyOPAC.
