The Chinese East Asian Gateway Service will deliver documents to any individual
researchers for research and teaching purpose or non-profit
organizations who cannot find the needed item in any U.S. libraries.
However, currently, the Korean East Asian Gateway Service, as our new announced
service, will deliver documents to Pitt faculty and students only.
Full-text articles are transmitted electronically via the Internet from the participating libraries in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Korea which hold the titles, to Pittsburgh, where they are, then, sent to requesters via the Internet. Online Request Form for Chinese Material or Request Form for Korean Material are provided for your convenience to send your request to our service.
Before you request the service, please read the User Guide (Chinese service, Korean service ) carefully. It will help you to clearfy what you can get from this service and understand what is the restriction or limitation.
