(1) Photoduplication service


How to use NDL International Photoduplication Service


The National Diet Library will provide photoduplicate copies of items in its collections but in principle, only of parts of each item.
Requests for photoduplication of copy"right"ed publications are accepted when the written permission of the copy"right" holder accompanies the request, or when only one copy of part of any publication is wanted for private study for purposes of research, without any intention to publish it or to profit by it.

The applicant is requested to fill in the form, NDL REQUEST FORM FOR LOAN / PHOTODUPLICATION, and forward it to the following address:


Library Cooperation Department, National Diet Library
1-10-1, Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 100-8924 JAPAN
Attention should be paid to the following points.

  1. The applicant should send copies A, B and C together to the NDL, keeping copy D for reference.
  2. Please indicate in full detail author and title of article, title of periodical or book as well as volume, number, year and pages required in the correct spaces.
  3. In the column "Reference source", please indicate in full detail where you found the information concerning the material.
  4. The applicant is requested to sign at the bottom of copy A. If the applicant is an organization, the signature of its representative will be required.
Those who wish to obtain photoduplicate copies of rare books or the whole of any publication are requested to write to the National Diet Library in advance for permission.
Photocopying of any items in our rare book collection is not permitted.
When the number of requests exceeds the capacity of our photoduplication laboratory, acceptance of new orders may be temporarily halted.
The charges must be paid in Japanese Yen by International Postal Money Order, Banker's Transfer or Bank Draft payable in Tokyo upon receipt of the Invoice which will be sent to the applicant after the forwarding of a photocopy.
If you arrange payment by Banker's Transfer, 1,500 yen per transfer must be added to the amount on the invoice(s).
If you arrange payment by Bank Draft, 3,900 yen per draft must be added to the amount on the invoice(s).
NDL also lends some books from its collections to overseas libraries, though loanable materials are restricted to rather narrow categories. The same order form as the photoduplication request form is available for loan request.
