Integration with the NACSIS Member Information
Japanese libraries use the NACSIS central catalog for metadata management and ILL. NACSIS manages detailed information about its member institutions, such as contact details, ILL policy terms, and other relevant information. This information is available for any member of the catalog to search and view. Japanese Alma customers working with the NACSIS catalog can view this information for other institutions and can edit their own information directly from Alma.
