Q
What kind of institutions can register?
A
Any institution including libraries, university libraries, or reference rooms of corporations or research institutes can be registered. There are no restrictions on the kind of institution. However, the Library requires that a contact person be appointed to handle inquiries and be in charge of the application.

Q
We have many branch libraries. Can we register all of them as one institution?
A
Only one address can be registered per registration. So if you have many branch libraries with different locations (addresses), we ask you to register each building individually. In that case, we will register the name as a combination of the institution name and branch name.
For example, if 〇〇 University has three libraries register as institutions, one registration will be made for "Main Library, 〇〇 University", one for "△△ Library, 〇〇 University" and one for "◇◇ Library, 〇〇 University".

Q
