Inter-Campus Documents Delivery

Service Overview

Before Placing Your Request

• Reproduction in libraries is subject to legal limitation because the author has the exclusive right to reproduce his/her work.
  • An article in a journal may not be photocopied, unless a considerable period of time has passed since its publication. "Considerable period of time" means the period of time until publication of a next issue or 3 months after publication of the issue.
  • A book may not be entirely photocopied.  In case of the collected papers, each paper may not be entirely photocopied. Less than half pages are OK.
  • An applicant may use only a single reproduction for the purpose of research or study, and may not reproduce it again or distribute it regardless of whether it is compensated.

How to Pay

The following is the explanation in case that the aid budget does not cover your expenses and you have to pay them in full by your own, at such times as the materials of the library at your campus are photocopied.

University budget

We accept only research grants given by Kyushu University as "University budget". Fill the budget information in an application form. Once you fill the information, it is saved in your account information so that you can select it next time.
We process the payment by your budget on the first business day of each month for the document delivery of the prior month. If you want to use outside funds, please pay by private expense and then proceed with the reimbursement at the accounting section of your department.

University budget (by proxy)

Select "University budget (by proxy)" in an application form, and fill the applicant and budget information in advance if you are a staff member who often requests document deliveries on behalf of faculty. Once you fill the information, it is saved in your account information so that you can select it next time. Students at School of Medicine and Graduate School of Medical Sciences can also be proxies if faculty permits. We process the payment by the budget you designated on the first business day of each month for the document delivery of the prior month. If you are a student of other schools at Kyushu University and want to be a proxy, you have to apply for document deliveries at the library desk in written form sealed by a faculty member who have a university budget.
