[ARCHIVED] Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery: Step by Step

Have you been able to get what you wanted? Or have you had a hard time getting what you wanted?  Acquiring Japanese language resources via ILL/DD can be difficult. This page is to maximize the chance of you being able to identify/obtain the materials you need for your research through Inter Library Loan/Document Delivery Services within North America and from Japan. 

Please note though that even if you identify resources by following this process there is a chance you may either not be able to obtain them or be required to accept some restrictions. 

•    The library which owns the item you find in CiNii Books or WorldCat may not be willing to lend. (This is usually true of rare items, microfilms and visual materials)
•    Your library may not be able to borrow for a variety of reasons including not being a GIF member.
•    You may be required to use the materials in the library only.
•    There may be no renewal/extension of your ILL requests.
