| Q： |
What is the fastest and most economical way to request materials from other libraries？ |
| |
- First, checking the NCKU Library Catalog and E-Resource to make sure that the required item is not available within the Library.
- Checking the Union Catalogs or other libraries’ catalogs in accordance with the types of materials （books or periodicals）and select the libraries which held the required item.
- Fill in as many lending libraries as possible. System will forward your request to next appointed library automatically if the first library fails to fill the request.
- NCKU has teamed up with the NSYSU, CCU, NCHU, KMU, NCCU and NYCU to provide express service for patrons. NT$3 per page is charged for photocopies and NT$100/book（plus NT$70 postage）for book borrowing without any service charge.

| Q： |
What are Union Catalogs？ |
| |
Union catalogs are databases combining at least two library catalogs, whereby patrons can search collections from multiple libraries and borrow books or receive photocopies of articles through ILL.
Some union catalogs are not complete, however, because the data is enormous and difficult to maintain. Therefore, it is suggested that patrons search more catalogs lest the required materials cannot be found. |
