Q How to apply for the user registration for institutions?
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.
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".
Yes. However, in consideration of the possibility that other branch libraries may be registered at a later date, please register the name as a combination of the institution name and branch name.
We ask for departments in the same building /address to register as one institution. Please have one department register as a representative, and have other departments use the services through the representative department.
It is not enough to be a registered institution. You also need to register for the user registration system for interlibrary loan services. Please refer to Interlibrary Loan Service.
