Visiting Kobe University Libraries
Researchers from other universities (including graduate students) who wish to use materials held only by the Kobe University Library, please apply in advance through your own university library.
Please bring a copy of your reply from Kobe University Library with you when you visit.
Please obey the Infection control measures when you visit any of our libraries.
Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery
Interlibrary Loan（ILL）allows you to get copies of articles and to borrow books if they are not available from your university library or nearby public library.
Please request this service from the library closest to you instead of contacting us directly.
Our ILL service is supported by the NACSIS-ILL system (Catalog information services provided by National Institute of Informatics). This system ties university libraries in Japan together and cooperates with OCLC and KERIS.
We ask other libraries to apply for ILL via the NACSIS-ILL system. If your library is not, please contact us from this form.
Reference
Please see “Reference Service” for details. However, we may not assist you for some reasons (When it takes too much time and effort, it doesn’t matter survey and research, etc.).
You can check the holdings and locations of the materials on OPAC .
