◎ National Document Delivery Service (NDDS)
1. System Introduction

The National Document Delivery Service (NDDS) is a paid service for resource sharing between libraries. Through agreements with various cooperative organizations, it provides readers with photocopying and book borrowing services for journals, books, doctoral and master's theses, research projects, etc., so as to share what is needed and effectively maximize the value of each library's limited resources.

2. Application Method

(1) Account Application: First-time users must first apply for an account at the National Document Delivery Service System. After the librarian approves your account, you can log in and use it.

(2) Document Application: Please fill in the application information in detail (such as article title, journal name, volume, year, page number, etc.), select one or more application units, and select the document delivery method. After the library receives the information, it will notify the reader to pay and pick up the document.

◎ Application for various types of information
