Request an Inter-Library Loan from a public or university library
Japan Foundation, Sydney is a member of the Libraries Australia network, and willing to supply our resources to other member libraries in Australia and New Zealand.
You need not to sign up with JPF-Sydney for this process, and this is a more suitable option in terms of cost-effectiveness if you are entitled to free use of Inter-Library Loan (typically entitled to university faculty staff) or you need to borrow our resources for one-time only.
 
Borrowing terms:
  • There is no limit on the number of loan items, and the loan period is for 5 weeks;
  • A minimal supply fee of $13.20 (may increase depending on the mailing cost) will be billed to the requesting library. It is up to the requesting library’s policy whether the fee is passed to the requesting patron.
