The library provides an interlibrary loan and return service with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Libraries (Linkou, Keelung, Chiayi, and Kaohsiung) and Ming Chi University of Technology. Readers can apply online and will be notified when the book is ready for pickup. Borrowing can then be completed at the library circulation desk using a faculty/staff or student ID card.

Note: This service is available for general circulation books only. Audiovisual materials are not included due to their higher cost and potential for damage in transit.

If a book you want to borrow is listed in the public catalog as "Cataloging," or "Processing," it means that the book has been acquired by the library but is still being catalogued and classified. Therefore, it will not be found on the shelves.

However, if you wish to borrow the book, you can place a reservation through the library catalog system. The library will prioritize the book and notify you by e-mail when it is ready for loan.

Note: This service is for general circulation books only. Reference books, textbooks, and other restricted or non-circulating materials are not eligible for reservation.
