The Nationwide 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.

Application method

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.
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 at the library.
Application for various types of information

Journal documents:

(1) Use Google, Google Scholar, Taiwan Journal Article Index, and our collection catalog and electronic resource system to confirm that the journal document you need is not available in our collection or on the Internet.

(2) Submit an application: Go to the National Document Delivery Service System, log in to the [Reader Area], fill in the journal information on the blank application form, select more than one library, and select the document delivery method before submitting the application. If the domestic library cannot obtain it, it will be transferred to a foreign library for assistance in copying.
