Inter-library loan system of the University System of Taiwan

This is a free service for the National Tsing Hua University students and employees within the university employment system. You can use the Library Online Catalog to access the catalog of a participating institute and find out if a material is available for loan. Then go to the University System of Taiwan’s website to fill out an online request to borrow the material from the relevant institute. After receiving a notification email, you can collect the material from the circulation desk on the 1st floor of the Main Library. If you do not collect the material before the deadline specified in the notification, the material will be returned to the lending institution. If you fail to collect a material twice, your interlibrary loan privilege will be suspended for six months. Peripheral materials included with books are not available for interlibrary loan.

　

Borrowing materials from other libraries

For students, faculty, and staff who are officially part of the University System of Taiwan, you can use your student ID card or employee badge to borrow materials from the libraries of the National Central University, National Chiao Tung University and National Yang Ming University.
