NDL Online Now Available and GIF Updates

Dear Colleagues:

Happy New Year!

As you perhaps noticed already, the new service NDL Online has begun on January 5, 2018. In NDL Online, registered libraries for photocopy service with the National Diet Library can directly submit copy requests. Please check its services and functionality at NDL Online Search and Request Service page. For passwords set in 2017 or earlier, use UPPERCASE only--for more information about passwords, please read the News page.    

As for GIF Project, we are working on updating the GIF member directory at http://guides.nccjapan.org/illdd/giflist and http://guides.nccjapan.org/illdd/giflist_jp_all for addressing post-GIF services to be provided by the current GIF member institutions. I will let you know when the directory is completely updated, hopefully by January 19.  

Again, below please find important dates for the GIF service (all dates given below are based on the Japan time): 

January 19, 2018:       Last day for accepting ILL requests 

February 28, 2018:     Last day for accepting article copy requests

March 25, 2018:         Last day for updating ILL/copy transaction records

April 30, 2018:           All payment transactions must be completed manually by this date             

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you very much for your attention.

Best regards,

Toshie Marra, co-chair, ILL/DD Committee
