TLL (TAC Library Lending) Service

TLL Service is a mutual cooperation service, which you can borrow the materials belonging to other TAC libraries.
TAC-Bin (TAC delivery service) goes to the TAC libraries and brings back the materials.
You don’t need to pay the postage and other fees.

Basically, TAC-Bin goes to the TAC libraries every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
TAC-Bin doesn’t go to the TAC libraries during the summer vacation, holidays, examination periods, etc.
Please check the TAC-Bin schedule from TAC HP to see if it is available or not before you apply for TLL.

How to Use TLL Service

Step 1
Search the collections of partner universities’ library

Please make sure whether the TAC libraries have the book or not.
You can search the entire collection of each university library from the TAC Cross OPAC (TACOPAC).

If the TAC libraries have the book you want, confirm whether it is for “reference only” or not.
！Just because it appears in the search results does not mean it is available.
Step 2
Apply via MyLibrary

Enter your ICC ID and Password in the MyLibrary screen and click “ログイン”.
You will find it under the [ Application forms ].
Fill out the TLL application form.

How to receive and return the book

When the ordered book has delivered, you will get an e-mail to the address that you wrote on the application form.
If you receive an e-mail, please come to the TUFS Library Service Counter as soon as possible.

※When you want to return the TLL book, you must bring it to the TUFS Library service counter.
　Don’t put the TLL book into the book post.

Notes

When you fill out an application form, write the book’s ID numbers correctly.

Check the TAC-Bin schedule to see if it is available or not.
