Interlibrary Cooperation Book Loan Method and Notes

Established on March 19, 2019

In order to expand the application of book resources and uphold the concept of resource sharing, our library cooperates with many universities and specialized libraries to provide readers with book loan services by exchanging library cards, so that readers can borrow books directly from cooperative libraries. All researchers, administrative staff, and research assistants in our unit can apply.

The cooperative libraries that signed interlibrary loan agreements with our library in 2019 are as follows:

National Taiwan Normal University Library

Kuo Ting-yee Library, Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica
