User Registration for Institutions
User Registration for Institutions
The National Diet Library (NDL) offers user registration service for institutions. If your institution becomes a registered user, you can request the copying service from your workplace via the Internet, without visiting the NDL in person.
Copying Service
- To have an item copied and mailed, look it up on the NDL Online (National Diet Library Online Search and Request Service) from this website, choose "Photocopy", and specify the number of the volume or issue and the portion to be copied.
- You can order copies via the Internet only for the materials searchable on the NDL Online.
- Items copied by this service are delivered only by mail. Copies are sent to the registered address of your institution.
* Inter-site request and reservation of library materials for reading on-site is not available for institutional registered users. If you wish to use these services, you need to become a registered user as an individual.
* To use interlibrary loan service, your institution must register for the user registration system for interlibrary loan services.
