About the ILL service until March 2004

From April 2004, National Universities will turn into independent administrative entities.
So this March several National University Libraries may stop their ILL services, the photocopying of articles or book borrowing for a while, because they will not be able to do acounting procedures as usual.
Therefore, if you order something after March 15, we may ask you to make a direct payment.
Also, if you order something in late March, it may not be accepted until April 1, so the arrival may be late.
If you have any questions please contact us. (E-mail:toshokan; EXT:1191,1192)


We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
