Are there any limitations placed on 馆际互借 requests?
If more than 6 books are requested, we may ask to talk with you before they are requested. We do not want you to be overwhelmed with the amount of material received and not have proper time to use it. 另外, some requests may not be processed because of costs involved, time needed for delivery, and/or copyright limitations. NOTE: a limit of 5 article requests from any single journal title per year can be requested.
