Document Delivery Services

It is possible to obtain copies of reports, journal articles, and other materials published in Asia. Several projects have been established at other libraries to provide copies in paper or electronic form from various specialized collections.

The web sites of these institutions are listed below, and some contain Chinese or Japanese script. Much of the material is in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean and may be difficult to obtain in the United States. Note that each institution has its own procedures and that some services require a fee.
